I like seeing the latest and greatest model crammed into new systems to see how it fares. To deal with the speed, one person on reddit suggested using it in an email interface rather than a chat interface.

Love the email idea

  Having the right type of interface makes a huge difference. It reminds me of when Willow Garage chose to name their bot the TurtleBot, because if they named it anything else, people would think it was fast and capable. But when they called it Turtle Bot, people just kind of liked it and were satisfied with what it did. At the level of Kimi 3, I probably can code only about 1,000 good tokens per day, too. (thankfully coding isn't my job)

Do OCR, and use one of those 3D printer-like pen plotters write the model output as a letter. Challenge would be automating the opening and OCR preparation, and the folding and mailing of the return letter. But given it's done commercially it should be possible.

Email would indeed be fitting for K3 running on a M1 Mac, as it'd take days/weeks to receive a response, which matches with my real-world emailing experience pretty well.

I had my clanker implement this idea in a standalone Rust server that speaks IMAP and SMTP and proxies your emails to an OpenAI endpoint you configure: https://tangled.org/clee.sh/posthorn https://tangled.org/clee.sh/posthorn Works in mutt; other MUAs may vary.

  lovely! I'm a fan of asynchronous LLM systems like this. There are times where I prefer slow, complete responses to immediate replies. For example there's a billboard on 101 for Poppy Bank offering 4% interest and I asked my daily LLM to look into it through a voice note. The next morning, lo and behold it says it's an advertised rate, hard to actually get, and businesses aren't eligible. OK, done. Better than getting the response while I'm driving. And even if I wasn't driving, there's a level of, how do you say, it's easy to drop it the next day when I see it vs getting engrossed in the research.
