   My version works on small local models and uses tmux under the hood. No installation is necessary. Simply tell your agent to run uvx agent-cli-helper and that's it. The verbiage and flow is optimized through test harnesses to maximize

   music has been a product of its form factor for a long time. It's no coincidence that the wax cylinder, 78, 45, 33, cassette, CD, and mp3 dictated changes in how music was packaged (single, lp, ep, album, b sides) and the average lengt

   The point is there's this false narrative about a dichotomy of bad and good America where people like to claim they're from the good part... The history doesn't really bare that out and the peculator American prejudice seems

   Nowhere near it. There's parts I don't like but it's not like Homesteading, slavery, Chinese exclusion, redlining, Japanese internment, the klan, and Jim Crow were great. This is American behavior: crude, cruel, hostile, arro

   The realization is LLMs are computer programs. You orchestrate them like any other program and you get results. Everyone's interfaces, concept and desires are different so the performance is wildly varied This is similar to frameworks:

    It needs to support tool calling and many of the quantized ggufs don't so you have to check. I've got a workaround for that called petsitter where it sits as a proxy between the harness and inference engine and emulates additional

    Also the Qwen cli, their vibe coding agent, allows a thousand free requests a day. In practice it's about ~300M tokens for me It's very generous I know I could certainly pay anthropic $1500 a day for my use and they'd be deli

    I've gone through about 500M tokens on this model already. They've got some free inferencing options (such as on openrouter) ... $0 is hard to beat and it's creating not-crap.

    That was the leaked code and now it's just some random dudes harness btw. He swapped it out. Did a sloppy find and replace for "claude" and made it claw. It's sloppy work Does not matter. Sloppiness is unimportant
