Agreed on the need, and this space needs more exploration that is not going to come from big-cos as they are incentivised in boosting spend. I've been exploring the same problem statement, but with a different approach https:/&#x

My experience so far tells me that the default path with AI tooling is that it lets us create without learning. So the author is right in that they can pay for a seat in this revolution whenever they want. A practitioner with more experienc

I expect tools to start embedding an SLM ~1B range locally for something like this. It will become a feature in a rapidly changing landscape and its need may disappear in the future. How would you turn into a sticky product?

I explored this in std::slop (my clanker) https://github.com/hsaliak/std_slop . One of it's differentiating features of this clanker i that it only has a single tool call, run_js. The LLM produces js scripts to do

This is a very nice and clean implementation. Related to this - I've been exploring injecting landlock and seccomp profiles directly into the elf binary, so that applications that are backed by some LLM, but want to 'do the right

I'd like to plug https://github.com/hsaliak/std_slop/blob/main/docs/mail_mode... my coding harness (std::slop)'s mail model (a poor name i admit). I believe this solves a fundamental probl

No it does not. None of these models have the “depth” that the frontier models have across a variety of conversations, tasks and situations. Working with them is like playing snakes and ladders, you never know when it’s going to do somethin

by hsaliak 7mo ago
It takes your query, computes the complexity of the request, and tries to route it to the appropriate model. There is a /manual command i think, to pick the right model. They mask the 429s well in Gemini-Cli - if an endpoint is rate li

by hsaliak 7mo ago
The Gemini-CLI situation is poor. They did not communicate that AI Pro or AI Ultra accounts cannot be used with this API broadly earlier. I specifically remember searching for this info. Seeing this made me wonder if I had missed it. Turns

Fair enough. I'll find a way to publish some of this. I try to cover most of the information in the docs/ folder, and keep it up to date. Blog posts in release notes is a good idea!

Thanks for your interest in this work - I do not blog(maybe I should?) but i have posted a bit more on X about this work. - A bit more on mail mode https://x.com/hsaliak/status/2020022329154420830 - on the Lua int

This is the way. This exact workflow is my sweet spot. In my coding agent std::slop I've optimized for this workflow https://github.com/hsaliak/std_slop/blob/main/docs/mail_mode... basically t

Google's Pro service (no idea about ultra and I have no intention to find out) is riddled with 429s. They have generous quotas for sure, but they really give you very low priority. For example, I still dont have access to Gemini 3.1 fr

It's interesting that we do not have a wave of tier-2 companies with NNN Million dollar cap releasing anything competitive. It's the big 4 labs vs the chinese labs. No Tier-2.

this aligns perfecly with my experience, but of course, the discourse on X and other forums are filled with people who are not hands on. Marketing is first out of the gate. These models are not yet good enough to be put through a long codin

There is a balance to be struck. Not everyone is going to be comfortable with ralph loops. Some are going to be OK with running a single agent, some with advanced code completion or code generation for specific functionality and so on. The

A language targeting an LLM might be well served with a lot of keywords, similar to a CISC instruction set, where keywords do specific things well. Giving it building blocks and having them piece together is likely to pay off.

It's not about how it starts. It always starts small and measured, but once you open up to ads, you open up the pandora's box of enshittification paths.

I agree. Software development is on an ascent to a new plateau. We have not reached that yet. Any skill that is built up now is at best built on a slope.
