current homelab setup for local AI experimentation: - hermes box hosted on a Framework Desktop Mainboard AI Max+ 395 - 5090 eGPU running Qwen 3.8 27B for fast tok/s LLM use - sometimes 150+ tok/s - 2x DGX Spark: running Deepseek v4 Flash 0731 - better but slower model - pi 5 for monitoring - Mac mini as a dev box - use Herdr and ohmypi/codex/claude depending on the use case - housed in a 10" DeskPi mini rack (mostly) Hermes is defaulted to local AI but with a homegrown routing plugin hitting a small low TTFT model (Arch-Router) to decide whether to go local or upgrade to cloud/frontier.

Former L8 engineer at Meta, Microsoft and Atlassian, now writing and building solo on agentic engineering. Writes Kun's Field Notes and posts a lot about AI coding agents on X.
github actions in my oss repos suddenly stopped running today i had opus 4.8 look into it, it spent ~$10 worth of tokens and insisted that either i haven't paid my bills or there's a github outage switched to grok 4.5 and just 3 minutes in with $1.2 worth of tokens, it found there's a surge of CI runs in my firstmate repos starving all the allowed runners across my account, cancelled a bunch of them, and everything's back on track this is just an anecdotal example but i've had many positive experiences like this. people ask me why i default to grok and this is why Related

more and more products realized they need to offer a firstmate-like experience :) folks using firstmate have been a few months ahead of the pack to experience this it couldn’t have been more clear that talking to a single coordinator agent is the next level Quoting @cursor_ai Introducing Projects, a new way of working in Cursor. Rather than creating a chat for every task, you work with a coordinator agent in a single, persistent thread. Like @bot, your agent is always on, proactively manages work with subagents, and improves over time. Related
more and more people are discovering the great combo of herdr + firstmate. it's such a good feeling that i wish more folks could discover sooner letting a single agent babysit all your sessions is so clearly the next level experience we're all heading towards Quoting @arthurcd btw, thank you @kunchenguid. FirstMate is very impressive! Related

LLMs
Their words
However, these LLM reasoners that generate informal reasoning in natural language are fundamentally limited by the lack of precise, machine-checkable semantics, making their outputs prone to hallucinations [Huang et al., 2025b] and precluding autonomous verification, a prerequisite for tackling open-ended mathematical research.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
