Kimi K3 dropped with a native CLI harness featuring AgentSwarm (128 total subagents, 8 concurrent), 1M context, HighSpeed mode, durable overnight goals, and multi-provider support via config.toml. Rumored 3T params with claims of beating Fable 4.8, though zero published benchmarks at launch drew skepticism. At ~$160/mo it's a serious contender in the harness wars.
@jcartu ran a 4-hour abliteration on 8x H200s to produce a mostly-uncensored GLM 5.2 with full tool calling intact — jumping on Tor, browsing forums, whatever you ask. The reality check: at 2.6-3T params, serving locally at usable TPS needs 8x B200s or 16x RTX 6000 Pros, making the $1500/yr GLM 5.2 unlimited coding plan more attractive than any homelab.
Weekly limits reset to zero simultaneously across Claude Max, Fable, and Codex, followed by a midday 529 outage on Claude. Frustration over throttling, aggressive safeguards, and Fable feeling 'lobotomized' post-launch has multiple builders (@tidemid, @geilt, @leewardbound) considering cancellations, with GPT-5.6 and Kimi cited as noticeably better for their workflows.
@jarvisballer detailed Hermes as an operating layer routing Slack/Gmail/GitHub/Todoist into specialized agents with persistent memory, tiered routing, and no-agent cron jobs — running cheap on Hetzner or Hostinger VPS. @geilt shared his bespoke Postgres/Valkey fleet (Obair, Triur, Naonúr) with container isolation and credential-blind tool calls. Orca emerged as a VS Code alternative that runs on a remote VPS. Multi-harness setups with synced global context, skills, and RAG'd sessions are the emerging pattern.
@sav310 is firing his accountant after an AI invoicing setup compressed 6 months of work into 2 days and uncovered duplicate conversion allocations and months of overbilling (Xero preferred over QuickBooks). @aa12on shared a working multi-timeframe TradingView screenshot analysis system for confluence-based entries, while @samb69 is reconsidering retired LLM trading setups given newer models — floating Cerebras Gemma 4B at 1800 tps for real-time tick analysis.
Key Takeaways
- Kimi K3's native AgentSwarm (128 subagents, 8 concurrent) and 1M context at ~$160/mo make it a serious harness contender — but treat 'beats 4.8' claims as unverified until benchmarks land.
- Locally-served frontier open weights (GLM 5.2, Kimi K3) are technically doable but economically absurd — a $1500/yr unlimited GLM plan beats any homelab you'd build.
- Builders are actively rotating away from Anthropic due to throttling, safeguards, and Fable's post-launch quality drop — the 'perfect 4' cited: Grok, Codex, GLM 5.2, and Kimi.
- Hermes' value isn't better code than CC — it's the operating layer routing Slack/email/GitHub into specialized agents with persistent memory and cheap tiered routing.
- AI accounting/invoicing and multi-timeframe LLM chart analysis are genuinely underpriced automation opportunities right now — newer models make previously-failed setups viable again.
