> We care about the harness, not the model or the prompts. I wonder if this is a viable approach; after all frontier model providers are betting on the opposite. Then again, they b…

Another big benefit of local AI is control and increased predictability, e.g. in costs or behavior. We will appreciate it even more when popular agents become more costly or start …

We’ve already lived through multiple floods of unmaintainable code, eg with unstructured JQuery. New tech stacks will appear and they will handle the mess to some extent.

Is anyone using open weight models for agentic coding? What is your stack (harness, model) and how much do you pay per month? How would you compare your experience to a typical sub…

I wish there was a way to exclude the plain ones (single color rectangle with rounded corners and text).

Because there is no mass market, relatively speaking.

What model do you use with kilo code? What are the typical usage costs? How would you compare it to the provider plans (in costs and efficiency)?

I’d like to code with an AI agent via a BYOK open source client. I want to be able to inspect everything, check the system prompt, etc. Also, I’d like to avoid vendor lock in. Is a…

What if you crap so much and your craps are so pervasive that you cannot find anyone else’s crap but yours - unprocessed, or with very little processing.

To me the context is new technology that replaces the old, but the old is still more practical in some applications.
