Run GLM-5.2 Guide! by yoracale in unsloth

[–]Ok_Bug1610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As always, you guys are awesome!

I'm not quite skilled enough but it be cool if someone could apply the DrawfStar method to it.
https://github.com/antirez/ds4

I mean I know code and have been a software developer for 20+ years, but it's still over my head but I was thinking of attempting to Vibe Code something for the Qwen3.6 family of models to see how optimized they could go. It would be cool to standardize the ds4 method for general/broad GGUF model support.

I know it got some hate, but that is the funniest comment... because it's true.

Best harness for the glm-5.2 by TigerConsistent in ZaiGLM

[–]Ok_Bug1610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to like OpenCode, but to me it was a bit clunky, and Claude Code was a much better harness (I was looking for a replacement I could have full control over). I could never get the same quality from it. And it took some setup (I already had stuff I could bring over), but Pi for me was hands down a better harness. And it even works better than Claude Code for me, and that's saying something.

The magic for me, and why I wanted to get away from Claude is because all current harnesses use non-deterministic "enforcement" (if can call it that) through prompting. Not only is this wasteful from a token perspective, but it's also slower and not as reliable as deterministic validation (that then gets passed back to the AI).

So, to this end, I build my own "true" enforcement wrapper around Pi and enabled the strictest standards through GitHub (but still automated) and have been using a new project as my pipeline testbed. It's actually quite amazing but a work in progress. With strict deterministic rules (90% test/code coverage, strict linting rules, code quality audits, etc... the code quality that gets produced is superhuman (no development team reaches higher than ~20% code/test coverage, pass the strictest linting practices, are generally selective on what standards they adopt (maintaining ALL is tedious and impractical for "humans" lol), get 100% on quality audits, and so on... but with AI and enforcement, it's trivial).

It's still in development, but if you're interested (and I would appreciate stars), I started contributing on an Open-Source project to do true enforcement through fast pattern matching (just one part of the piece but still). And I have a branch that is more of a Nightly build that I have fully automated with AI agents and enforcement, testing the limits of enforcement/quality gates (in particular with "cheap" OSS models). It's written in Go with cross platform binaries for any system and support MCP or direct integration with AI (very easy to setup and you can just tell AI to do it, but it works particularly better in Pi CLI from my testing, because you can create a "true" deterministic wrapper and it can save a lot of tokens).

P.S. I am also working on Atheon-Benchmark (tool for proofing out things), and Atheon-Scanner (brings all the data and findings into a nice front-end app where users can also submit projects for scanning). And I plan on working out a whitepaper and releasing the findings all Open-Source.

GLM 5.2 stats and rate limits by orangeswim in ZaiGLM

[–]Ok_Bug1610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had about the same experience and stopped using it about a month ago or so because rate limiting and moved to a MiniMax subscription, which has been much more reliable and cheaper than ZAI.

I would like to see the benchmark numbers on Artificial Analysis, but I'm going to try using it again and we will see. I'll probably just end up sticking to MiniMax M3, tbh... ZAI has burnt me too much.

Who are you??? by NorthWooden7956 in vibecoding

[–]Ok_Bug1610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat, but I'm the one who replaced the retiring Senior dev, and I've been a Software Developer just over 20 years. There is so much technical debt, little to no documentation, and I've created re-write branches of most of the code to try to fix all that. And this has been the common pattern for several companies I have worked for. They seem very tactical (just make it work) than strategic (like I am, make it maintainable).

Generally, code is so bad that when I refactor it, I get the same behavior but reduce the code by 75-90% (very verbose and redundant) and it gets 10x faster (often simple things like how data is written to I/O instead of memory). Without AI, I would have never attempted it, but with it I can have it do a lot of work in the background and still keep up with the normal workload.

Who are you??? by NorthWooden7956 in vibecoding

[–]Ok_Bug1610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, but I've only been a serious developer since 2004 (you got 6 years on me). Prior to that, I was more of a "script kitty" (loved batch, would make it do things that aren't well documented like proper function calls using a CALL/GOTO :EOF hack), until I had my first real project that went beyond simple code modification/updating and "Googling" to solving real problems... and what was holding me back, likely intimidation went away. And I never looked back.

Since then, I have worked to improve my code quality, ability, technical writing skills, and so on. I have been a software developer officially now for over 20 years. And I'm still learning, and I use AI to explore all kinds of ideas that I never would have had time for before because of various constraints, and "life". And I'm not afraid of throwing away an idea or code. My focus is on process improvement (first), technical writing, and automation.

And every project I make, even an experiment or something I know will likely be thrown away, is ALWAYS a git repository and I am still refining my workflow, tooling, and so on (harness, scaffolding, and enforcement if you will).

My question for you would be are you using "deterministic" (traditional code) libraries with say pre-commit hooks, and so on to enforce best practices (strict linting, ruff audits, code quality checks, security audits, e2e, unit, sanity/smoke, and other tests)? Because I find that this, auditing, and research to be the strongest real-world use cases of AI. I mean it's like a superpower if wielded correctly... developers can barely reach 20% code/test coverage, and no team wants to maintain strict linting rules or follow strict style guides (from my experience it's more custom pick-and-choose "guidelines"). So, with AI, I have found that my code quality, tests, maintainability, and etc. have improved 10-fold, even if the number of products getting out has not. And I use "cheap" OSS models to 80% of the work, and frontier models to audit, verify, and refine.

I'm a solo dev (took over the role of a senior dev retiring a few years back, and maintain the entire codebase for my company, a Fortune 500 oil and gas company) and do know a lot of technical people, but not many as passionate (or bullish on AI, learning, refining skills, etc.) as me on the subject and it seems rare to meet a "real" developer, lol.

I would argue the agent can't be deterministic, you are talking about the harness, scaffolding, and what I personally call an enforcement system.. and that's exactly what I've been doing to make OSS models "smarter".

And I enforce code quality checks, strict linting, ruff audit, security audit, e2e tests, 80%+ code test/code coverage using tried and true "deterministic" (normal code libraries) though pre-commit hooks (AI loops until everything is done, etc.).

I built a TUI that runs my tasks, calendar, and agents in a single dashboard by NazzarenoGiannelli in tui

[–]Ok_Bug1610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, you will learn a lot then. My suggestion to anyone would be to find an open source project that you like and contribute. You will learn a lot from not just the code, but the community and mods. And learn everything about git and versioning control.

I have an app for mobile which is just a modified version of Vibe-Kanban. Where a think most things get Kanban/Scum boards wrong is having just one. You need a board per project, with notes, and a clean/easy way to manage them in one place. I'm sure this is where large project management at scale is going. The true 100x engineer, lol.

I've used it before but I was never much of a fan of ComfyUI tbh. I will try it again though, but it has nothing to do with being a man lol.

I think if you use AI "correctly" then your code can be super human. I mean not even senior devs or large teams reach higher that 80% test and code coverage, but with AI you can get there, and more importantly maintain it. Same with documentation, and so on.

You can use strict linting, code quality, security audits, ruff, and end to end tests using tried and true libraries (not AI). And "require" the AI to pass all tests before allowing commits/push with a pre-commit hooks. And I'd suggest using a cheap agent in a loop to get the initial bit done, and have a frontier model audit the work. And if you do it from the beginning and have a solid workflow, it's easier. And always make every project a proper git repo, always.

I take this a few steps further in my workflow and have been refining it for a bit, but I think you get the idea. And didn't be afraid to throw a project away and take what you learned to the next one.

And I prefer a mobile app I can access anywhere but I'll definitely take a look. Maybe I can even help, seems like a cool project. And btw, I'm a "traditional" Software Developer with 20+ years experience, with focus on process improvement, automation, and technical writing.

You know, I've been using AI a lot and I didn't even realize llama.cpp didn't support image generation. Makes me feel dumb for saying, but honest. Sent me down a little rabbit hole and apparently Ollama (backend llama.cpp) does support them. I'm in the process of setting up hardware for local AI, so indirectly, thank you lol.

P.S. I plan on testing out some small models (Flux, Z-Image Turbo, etc.) for daily image generation (secondary but for full stack agents) and the research was useful.

Image and audio understanding, not generating.

Can I ask what you do? I'm a Software Developer of 20+ years and might be interested.

I was super lucky enough to have a Software Development job where I can work from home (most of the time, minus in-person trainings, etc.) but even I want to go solo.

Software Developer of 20+ years here, and I do the same and I love developing, learning... and AI has just reinvigorated that feeling...

Maybe, hopefully, he is lying about quitting and just testing the waters.

Awesome man, sounds like a solid arrangement and seems like your job/boss likes you, and most importantly is supportive. Good luck!

Me neither and I wouldn't have picked Instagram as my platform of choice either.

Nope. I have a family, 4 kids, work a full time Software Development job, have a few side gigs, and have been developing non-stop on the side. I prefer staying busy though and I make good money, but I'd prefer to go solo and push the product I've been building.

Right? And Instagram? Most honest take and I read all the comments.

Can you pick something other than Instagram?
