    Yeah Kimi-K2.5 is the first open weights model that actually feels competitive with the closed models, and I've tried a lot of them now.

    Yes but it’s barely usable. I ended up making my own Dockerfile and a bash script to just ‘docker run’ my setup itself, and as a bonus you don’t need Docker Desktop. I might open s…

    Yes, never self host Wordpress if you value your sanity. Even if it’s not the first hour it will eventually happen when you forget a patch.
