As much as I love my CLI tools, I just cannot go back to not having native built-in browser integration, links, etc which the (Mac) desktop apps like ChatGPT or Claude offer. I do use Hermes sometimes, but it tends to keep growing skills an

I am also seeing slower speeds, roughly the same ballpark, sometimes even lower - 10-11 tok/s on M5 Max. If there is that ONE version (GGUF or MLX) that runs roughly as fast as 3.6 used to run, please let me know. What would be incredi

My observation is that people who are smart (or think they are) tend to express themselves via trying to be overly correct - on everything. And that gets exhausting. People who try to be too precise and accurate, pay it with their happiness

10 years. I still have the game in my Steam library, waiting for me to try it. I guess I will never try it, once you hit your 40s, games lose their appeal anyway.

I am working on a framework that allows creating very complex SaaS products with AI, that actually work. Very complex = +100k LOC of one-shotted AI-generated code. Codename o2p - outcome-to-proof. It is a research-first method for designing

I love DeepSeek V4 Flash since the pre-0731, now even more. It is the first model that is truly too cheap to meter. But I find it having a pretty significant problem with tool calling - no idea why, but tool calling with it is SLOW. As long

Not sure I agree. It might sound like theater if you expect it to solve your security issues. But it is extremely good at finding undocumented or broken processes - these processes tend to hide the biggest offenders.

So far every single test I've done has worked correctly, I put a lot of work and time into preparation and planning, each workflow was designed, researched and optimized before implementation. The specification was already a massive do

No, LLMs have not plateaued, and each of the latest releases has been a proof of that. Fable 5 is a model you instantly FEEL how smart and superior it is. GPT 5.6 Sol is a HUGE incremental improvement in multiple directions and dimensions.

Ask HN: I had Codex and GPT 5.6 Sol running for 12 days, 870k+ LOC. Now what?

Having invested in a machine with 128GB of RAM, I would love seeing something a bit larger than 27B / 35B, possibly a 54B dense model or 70B MoE would be much closer to the Qwen 3.8 Max experience.

What is your story, how did you get into robotics? Was it your first choice?

I need to use this thread to mention the Polish payment system Blik. It is one of the most convenient payment systems out there - you generate an ephemeral 6-digit code in your banking app, copy it to the vendor, confirm, done. Works P2P wi

On paper the M4 should be roughly 1/3 of the M5, in practice it is only 1/2. With the right, optimized model like qwen3.6 35B MoE MLX you can get over 40 tok / sec on it. I run dozens of background jobs that are not time-crit

I am not going to flag you, I am much OK with having good arguments. I just purchased a Mac Mini M4 Pro 64GB for $3k - 2nd hand of course. I am not a hater of Nvidia and I am planning on building a workstation based on RTX cards. You clearl

I disagree LAN connection is the bottleneck. I do even work with it remotely via Tailscale on shaky hotel WIFI and it works fine (or as fine as any other API-based model).

Just buy a Mac Mini really is good advice if you want to get into real, always-on convenient agentic work. Soon it is going to be good even for coding using local LLMs. Until then, just run API models on it for coding, local LLMs for "

I thought they might ship an M5 Max version, but you are probably right.

qwen3.6 27B MLX 8bit -> 15 tok / sec. A bit slow but it is a delightful model to use, and smart too. qwen3.6 35B A3B MLX 8bit -> 85-90 tok / sec! It is impressively fast and roughly 90% as good as 27B (in my opinion).

My problem is I won't accept anything lower than the 96GB the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell has. My dream is a workstation with 2x Pro 6000 to run DeepSeek v4 Flash comfortably, possibly qwen 3.6 / ornith on turbo speed. But man, I have

Ballpark 25-30 tok / sec on the Mac Mini Pro M4 + qwen3.6 35B. The generation itself is good, prefill is known to be slow on any Apple M-chip architecture. It is really decent.

M5 Max. But I also have a MacMini M4 Pro 64GB. Qwen3.6 runs on the M4 just fine - sure the M5 is at least 2x the speed. If Apple launches a MacMini with an M5, I will be the 1st one to get it.

Get a 2nd hand one. I was lucky enough to get a new one first, last week I get a 2nd hand one in order to run one of my Hermes minions at work.

I love my MacBook Pro M5 128GB RAM and I love qwen3.6. BUT DO NOT buy this MacBook if you plan on doing serious coding using local LLMs with it. The reason is simple: your fingers will burn and your head will explode from the noise. Running

I have noticed that Opus and GPT 5.5 are very good at adjusting their thinking / reasoning intensity depending on the task at hand, something the open weights models are still not as good at. In addition to that, some of the open weigh

It is a combination of Hermes agent as the orchestrator and a custom extractor script (that uses qwen or any other LLM) that runs every 2 mins (on Mac via launchd). I had the code + skill written by Hermes. The beauty of it is that Hermes i
