I have switched to https://chatto.run/. Its actually well engineered (not vbibecoded), the devs are responsive and is kinda opinionated instead of do everything and we cater for every possible scenario but be great at nothing like matrix.

Ive been poking with the muse code binary - seems to be written in rust, looks similar to codex but either its a very hard fork (i also see dissimilar things like config format is different, no acp, etc) or is just heavily inspired by it (more likely).

Does this mean I can finally connect to a ducklake instnace hosted remotely? i.e. DuckLake is writing to disk on the remote server and my client is just a client.

Because rn even with Postgres as a catalog my client needs access to the underlying storage to use Ducklake.

> He then open sourced llama and wanted to be the android of llms.

Well the original llama did kick off the era of open source LLMs. Most original open source LLMs were based on the llama architecture. And look where we are now OSS modles are very close to frontier.

It may not have benefitted Meta but it commoditizatised LLMs.

Didn't OpenAI say something similar about GPT-3? Too dangerous to open source and then afew years later tehy were open sourcing gpt-oss because a bunch of oss labs were competing with their top models.

Yep, I understand I was giving an example to the person I was replying to.

> So while feasible it's only great for batch jobs not interactive usage.

I mean yeah true but depends on how big the model is. The example I gave (Qwen 3.5 35BA3B) was fitting a 35B Q4 K_M (say 20 GB in size) model in 12 GB VRAM. With a 4070Ti + high speed 32 GB DDR5 ram you can easily get 700 token/sec prompt processing and 55-60 token/sec generation which is quite fast.

On the other hand if I try to fit a 120B model in 96 GB of DDR5 + the same 12 GB VRAM I get 2-5 token/sec generation.

It does if you use an inference engine where you can offload some of the experts from VRAM to CPU RAM. That means I can fit a 35 billion param MoE in let's say 12 GB VRAM GPU + 16 gigs of memory.

> What Google and OpenAi have open sourced is their Agents SDK, a toolkit, not the secret sauce of how their flagship agents are wired under the hood

And how is that any different? Claude Code is a harness, similar to open source ones like Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode etc. Their prompts were already public because you could connect it to your own LLM gateway and see everything. The code was transpiled javascript which is trivial to read with LLMs anyways.

basedpyright has existed for years and now we have pyrefly from meta too. I think ty is also working on one.
