I want to know this too!

I agree with this, but I’m wondering where these self managed platforms are for the average person who doesn’t want to spend hours fixing OpenClaw upgrades. Surely there has to be an easy to use Muse/Dots/GrokBot self hosted solution for the privacy conscious?

I agree, most of the proactive agent assistance use cases requires me to give out data I’m hesitant to give like email, financial data, health data…

I’m hoping someone makes a lower maintenance version of open source Muse or Grokbot or Dots (more user friendly than OpenClaw or Hermes) that I can easily deploy to my own AWS, Cloudflare, Vercel, or Fly account and use some ZDR friendly inference provider like Fireworks.

Yeah I actually don’t even use Paseo’s orchestration much. I’m mostly using Paseo because I want to use Anthropic and OpenAI’s native harnesses for their respective models, but OpenCode for others, with a good remote mobile app experience when I want to check in on agent work or steer things away from my computer.

I haven’t found a better OpenCode remote mobile app experience. If OpenCode or Pi makes one, I might just move to that.

I’m not sure if I missed it, but I’m curious how you feel about cloud hosted models with ZDR policies? GLM5.2 or even Minimax M3 on Fireworks or Together ai should be still relatively/consistently cheap and private but a lot more capable and easier to setup?

I thought only the MmiMo 2.5 non-pro was multimodal?

Do you have a harness recommendation? Sounds like maybe you’re into Hermes?

I have this exact same fear as an IC.

I wonder if Engineering Managers have this same fear, or they’re used to having to distribute complex tasks to senior engineers and gamble with seeming less risky tasks to juniors that may leave ticking time bombs in their code. Just the nature of code written by agents or humans?

This is a great idea! I’d be curious to learn more about your setup, particularly how it asks your family and follows up with further questions? Does it do it based on a graph of your family it builds real time? Or is it smart enough that you just prompt it to “follow up with more questions”? I’m having a hard time imagining it asking my family engaging questions they won’t just say, “I don’t remember”.

That’s a good point. I think I saw Together.ai with that offering, but for some reason just never think to throw random non urgent coding tasks at it overnight

Wow what kind of hardware do you have? Mac Studio, dgx spark, strix halo? How fast is it?

I use local models for asking about personal financial or health data that I want to keep local and private. Or even just whipping up quick and dirty prototypes for whatever I can think of but not seriously enough to spend tokens that I rather use on real projects.

Yeah I think there’s benefits to third-party providers being able to run the large models and have stronger guarantees about ZDR and knowing where they are hosted! So Open Weights for even the large models we can’t personally serve on our laptops is still useful.

Nice! With Anthropic and OpenAI lowering usage limits that’s a big deal. I’ve been considering a Gemini subscription because I’m already paying for the Google storage plan and it would only be $10 a month more for me.

Do you use Gemini 3.1 pro or the flash model or just auto? Any feelings about quality vs other models?

Out of curiosity, why do you like gemini-cli better than claude or codex? And do you have any comparisons to opencode or pi?

Personally I've really liked OpenCode's TUI, but maybe on a superficial level of "this looks good and feels ergonomic to me".

Gemini cli felt clunky for me when I tried a while ago, but maybe it's better now? I do like how it's open source and I'm wondering if it can be made as model agnostic as OpenCode.
