Correct. I am only working on building my own harnesses.

I don't know if you'll be interested, but there is an excellent book on the topic: Build an AI Agent (From Scratch), by Jungjun Hur and Younghee Song (Manning Publication).

By chapter four you have a minimal working codebase in python. Later chapters add out features like tool calling, planning, and reflection.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that’s not a fit for me.

I’m writing my own harness to learn. And I’m writing it in zig.

But, I’ll absolutely add maki.sh to my reading list. So, that’s a win.

> "What kind of hardware... "

At home, I mostly use openrouter.

A few bucks will realistically last you forever. I also bought a DGX Spark at launch. I've learned a ton. but it's not usually my daily driver. I do run overnight tasks on it, like "read this book and write up notes on each chapter..."

In retrospect, given the dirt cheap prices of apis and or renting hardware, buying hardware for inference was likely a mistake (but not enough of a mistake to sell it now).

Pi.dev at home.

And I’m slowly writing my own. But it’s garbage at the moment.

I just looked up a video for this game, and looks like a really interesting take on user interface in VR. Thanks for the head's up!

>> Not sure there's a strong use case…

The author’s discussion of their personal use case starts on the seventh sentence in TFA. And frankly, it sounds like a pretty solid use case:

“Being able to run things locally and mess around with RL, quantisation and fine-tuning on a laptop would be sick. I already publish my own GGUF quants on Hugging Face, with over 160,000 downloads in the past month.”

I agree with your skepticism.

3.8k is less than the preorder cost of the DGX Spark over a year ago (Oct 14th, 2025).

this is not what *decision models* do.

I would like to start seeing bar graphs for benchmark results to add a second y axis to show token spend or cost in dollars.

I guess what I'm saying is performance is fine... but what I really want to see is performance/dollar.

In my state, early voting in the US midterm elections start on October 17. That's just eight days from now.

Thank goodness.

This is a great recommendation. And considering the code base is in assembly, I'll gladly welcome a walkthrough.

thank you!

Is any of the original Apollo code available to read?
