Founder @holoweave. I mostly post about agents and a bit of investing. Built product orgs at CoinMarketCap, Binance, Chainlink and Zendesk.

After testing Grok Bot, Muse, Hermes Agent, Hark, Instinct, and OpenAI Dots on real personal assistant work, shopping, and agent coordination through Holoweave Weave...
Hermes on its own computer/VM is S-tier once you customize it. For the best balance of capability, always-on access, and actually finishing jobs, Grok Bot is my top pick right now.

@krunkosaurus Wow thanks for testing man. Very interesting results. I actually thought it would be closer.

@ashxhart @HP @HP_PC_JP Having it serve up another model, maybe a dense model or something to switch it up, might be the play here. Or one of these sidecar recipes that I read about.

@ashxhart @HP @HP_PC_JP Only the HBM is super fast though. I really want to get a max q rtx6000 to see if it materially changes the experience of my DGX station haha.

@Aluminumwraith Yes, there is something fishy about the bot-to-bot chats. I know it's slightly cursory, but it seems even worse than if I used Hermes to do my development and report back to Grok. Definitely something to be fixed there.

[Rigario @Rigario]

@RockyRoad226 @bot It's about workflows, context and memory of each agent.

[Rigario @Rigario]

@ducksays Actually, most things are quite efficient now, but I think there might be something up with the bot-to-bot chats. My inter-bot chats are consuming an insane amount of quota.

I hope the $NVDA CFO to CEO role is temporary. Never put a bean counter in charge of a deep tech company. Intel tried it, AMD tried it before Lisa Su, it never works. They don't have the foresight to push the tech through.

[Rigario @Rigario]

This is very "fire Steve Jobs in 1980s" vibe to it.

He's the dude that positioned the gaming company to survive through tough times and thrive when AI boomed. Now hes gone.

Unless there is much more unsaid, feels like a generational fumble.

BREAKING: Nvidia $NVDA CEO Jensen Huang resigns.

@Teknium @DanielLenton1 @letsunifyai Actually, the way that I think of Hermes is that it's more of a self-evolving workflow. The self-evolving skills lend themselves more to the workflow than it is pure memory.

Agents that learn are cool, but right now it is much more practical to have a workflow that learns.

My Grok Bot is definitely different today. Its gotten a lot smarter. Its either Grok 4.8 or my bot models were swapped out for something else.

Much much smarter. I'm liking it.

[Rigario @Rigario]

I'll say that something improved today. Routines got a lot more efficient, but chat eating up quota has kind of reduced, hovering at almost the same percentage as the start of the day. Even though I'm running exactly the same routines that ate up almost 50% of my quota.

[Rigario @Rigario]

It got better right after usage was reset manually by the team. But yesterday it returned to chewing up tokens like nobody's business. Am I the only one?

[Rigario @Rigario]

@Ohfuggit @gonahmias @bot Everything stops. Basically, everything hits a pause.

[Rigario @Rigario]

Honestly, I think one of the biggest issues plaguing AI usage now is the uncertain spend.

Sure, we can set budgets, we can add credits, but at some point in time, I need to know whether or not I'm going to be spending $1,000 or $5,000. It makes a material difference.

[Rigario @Rigario]

Oh, trust me, I have definitely been watching it very closely. I have been profiling my usage even before they gave us the usage meter. It also claims that my bot-to-bot chat takes up almost 40% of my quota that was used yesterday, which is almost impossible given that there's only several messages an hour at most.

[Rigario @Rigario]

@jasonoakes Single day use on the legacy super grok heavy plan haha. It was a bit better right after they gave their reset. Now we are back to guzzling quota again.

[Rigario @Rigario]

Most of my usage is apparently from bot to bot chat. Seems fishy.

[Rigario @Rigario]

[Rigario @Rigario]

Grok Bot obviously works, if not, we won't have so many people complaining about limits.

My problem is slightly different, it seems like one day its great at follow instructions, the next day it becomes a derp. Then it becomes great again. I'm honestly a bit confused.

[Rigario @Rigario]

@BasicProtein26 I'm at 346. Had a few decent posts but reach tanked further after each, I think it's cos I didn't follow up with another hit post after. Idk honestly.

Building and posting.
