Coder, Game dev. Life isn't about how many punches you take, it's about how many times you take punches and move on.

Was using Claude building apps yesterday, at the end of the day, Opus was not having it, keep asking me to "Let's call it a day".

@alex_heritier @Teknium @NousResearch Damn, I see, so this is why my Hermes didn't follow my desktop default working directory setting...

[ChiL @cdnewl]

@Teknium Ive always want to ask, if I had Cli windows Hermes installed before Desktop version, then did "Hermes desktop" command, how should I update from now on?

Just "Hermes Update" is suffice? Or do I need to do:
"Hermes Update" -> "Hermes Desktop" each time?

[ChiL @cdnewl]

@Teknium I've installed it when it was still in beta, should I simply do a "hermes update"? Not sure if there will be any issues down the road. Or do a clean install is better?

@MiniMax_AI Finally, please release 2.8 or v3 already

[ChiL @cdnewl]

@teortaxesTex In my opinion, the "usage/(know-the-existence) of harness softwares" makes the biggest difference.

[ChiL @cdnewl]

@raju_datla1 @quxiaoyin GLM 5.1 I can understand, but MiniMax? I don't think MiniMax is anywhere close to DeepSeek v4 or GLM 5.1 or Kimi 2.6 tier TBH.

@comingconflict @HealthRanger So, subsidizing the corporation with taxpayer money and NOT pass on the benefits to customers... is what you are suggesting...

[ChiL @cdnewl]

@comingconflict @HealthRanger Bruh, we have Stargate project, 1 Trillion USD, remember? That's like what, last year?

Underrated analysis

[Aran Komatsuzaki @arankomatsuzaki]

Follow-up on non-English token-inefficiency with more model-language pairs:

- Chinese is cheaper than English on major Chinese models
- Gemini and Qwen provide least non-English tax
- Anthropic has the highest tax by far; Kimi is next
- Hindi is the worst-covered language here, despite its massive speaker base

[ChiL @cdnewl]

@arankomatsuzaki Thanks for the quality research, take the follow

[ChiL @cdnewl]

Bruh, you can't make this up... 🙃

[ChiL @cdnewl]

@yacineMTB Lmao, I'm digging it, please do

[ChiL @cdnewl]

@teortaxesTex Normally I'd still prefer a coding/token plan. However, if the token price is low enough, I guess it makes sense just use it as is.

I guess there is one area pay-as-you-go is better: you get to use the API anywhere (your own app etc.) whereas subs usually limit usecase by ToS.

[ChiL @cdnewl]

@Teknium Bruh, Hermes is open, powerful, and easy to use, I wonder why haha

[ChiL @cdnewl]

@Teknium This gold, thanks for sharing, will definitely come in handy some day

[ChiL @cdnewl]

@teortaxesTex This is perfect for my use case for real, as I used Hermes and OpenCode a lot, both of which benefits from cache hit massively

[ChiL @cdnewl]

@teortaxesTex @Teknium Im currently using Hermes and OpenCode concurrently. I think they actually complement each other. "Right tool for right task" kind of thing

[ChiL @cdnewl]

@OpenRouter Wow, I'm impressed

[ChiL @cdnewl]

@llmdevguy @MiniMax_AI For real, I'm patiently wait for this one
