“Claude Opus 5.5 just took a big drop on NerfBench” “Well acshually it is within the margins, I even call it out in impossibly small print in the video 🤓” You know exactly what you’re doing here. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

The ultimate litmus test for someone's personality is how they use the term "hack"

Many people think that the words “Artificial Intelligence” are inaccurate, and very ineloquent, relative to AI, or Artificial Intelligence. A far more elegant and accurate description of this new phenomena would be Superior Intelligence (SI) or, Extreme Intelligence (EI) or, Supreme Intelligence (SI). This is a Poll, and I would appreciate everybody voting! Which is the best name for this ever growing “Revolution?” President DONALD J. TRUMP

Oh-My-Hermes is officially here: Supercharging hermes-agent into the ultimate coding orchestrator. 🚀💡 Instead of forcing one model to do everything, Hermes now acts as the supreme software engineering conductor. It respects SOTA models for raw execution while managing task analysis, goal refinement, prompt tuning, real-time evals, and smart model routing. Here is how the intelligence layer works: ⚡ Task Analysis & Ambiguity Resolution: Fixes vague user goals and converts them into hyper-optimized prompts designed for specific vendor strengths. 🧠 Multi-Vendor Routing: Claude Code & Codex handle heavy coding. Pi Runtime handles real-time execution & evals. Kimi, Qwen, GLM, & DeepSeek handle smart workload partitioning based on their unique traits. Grok handles X scraping & web retrieval. Gemini & Nemotron handle fast extractions, context, and compression. ⚙️ Smart Sanity Checks: Actively suppresses over-verification loops seen in models like gpt-sol or fable-5 to keep dev loops blazing fast. 🤖 Dual Engine: Human-friendly communication on the surface, extreme hardcore engineering under the hood. The future of Hermes One-Point is plain simple: Orchestration > Isolation. Let Claude Code and Codex write the raw code—Hermes sits at the top and commands the entire system. > github.com/rlaope/oh-my-herm… > github.com/rlaope/oh-my-herm… > github.com/rlaope/oh-my-herm… Just install and run. Oh My Hermes does the rest. 🔥🤖 #hermes #openclaw #agent #ai #coding

Some observations on Kimi: 1. It's a very good model! I don't think its performance can be explained away by distillation or anything like that. In agentic coding sessions, it seems pretty much on par with the best public models of Q1 2026. In my fairly limited use, it also seemed very token hungry. It's not obvious to me that this model is actually that cheap to run. 2. I am personally surprised the Chinese state continues to allow the open sourcing of models this good, given potential risks. To be clear, I *myself* might be fine with models presenting this level of marginal risk being open weight, but I am surprised that China is fine with it. I suspect the reason they are is 75% explained by strategic blindness/lack of AGI-pilledness (the CCP is very Yann Lecun-y in its views of AI). The other 25% or so is their lack of compute for customer inference (making China's open-weight strategy an unintended byproduct of US export controls) and the normal Chinese strategy of aggressive exports. For the companies, as opposed to the government, the decision to open source is partially ideological and partially because they are behind, and they know that very few people would pay for sub-frontier models from China. 3. Open-weight models are inherently decelerationist, and I'm continually surprised to see the so-called "accelerationists" so excited about open-weight models. I suspect the reason they are is that they know open-weight models are effectively ungovernable, and they simply like the overall cloak of ungovernability open-weight models create over the whole of AI. It's not a bad strategy; it reminds me of James Scott's recounting of the hill people in "the art of not being governed." Still, in the end, open-weight models deter further AI capex. 4. One probable outcome of an open-weight-model-dominant world is full AI communism, which is precisely what China proposes: rather than a market product, AI is a "public good" which will ultimately be provided by the state as a kind of "digital public infrastructure." This future strikes me as a dystopian hellscape, but I've never met an open-weight models advocate who doesn't ultimately concede this is where things end. You'd be surprised how many 'accelerationists' lobbied me, while I was in government, to support an eleven or twelve-figure federally funded data center so that startups could train models at a subsidy and then give them away for free. There was no other way for AI to progress, they said. Perhaps this is the logical end state of things. Nonetheless, I find myself surprised to see supposed accelerationists excited about such an outcome. I think many of them just don't know what they're doing. Many accelerationists do not view the creation and serving of frontier models as a legitimate business. 5. I would guess that the Trump Administration will at some point realize that their best strategy here would be to create large amounts of regulatory risk around the use of open-weight Chinese models. You don't need to "ban open source" (one of the dumber motifs of AI policy discussion). You just need to direct every agency to issue soft law that creates FUD. "A Federal Reserve Advisory Bulletin found that there may be backdoors in Chinese AI models." It needn't be that well justified. You just create enough regulatory risk that every regulated enterprise backs off. You probably don't want to create so much regulatory risk that you scare off the hyperscalers from serving Chinese models; this will just drive startups to sketchier providers. There's a happy middle ground here. I'd assume they will do some version of this. 6. It's probably true that open-weight models of this capability make the world a bit more dangerous, but not so much more that you'll really notice. At some point the models will be capable enough that you will notice. "A nonliving, invisible, dangerous, and infinitely self-replicating agent escaped from a Chinese lab," you say? Color me shocked.
