Transcript context

…Yeah. You mentioned Hermes, it's come up a couple times. Where are you right now in terms of like Claude code verse codecs, verse, termes, verse, other things? And obviously that's like both harness and model, you know, and those are, I guess, increasingly coupled, but still separable. Are you finding any value in like GPT 5.5? Any other models that you're using in a significant way aside from Claude? Yeah, so for me, everything is is π so everything is like my single harness, my own custom built harness, which is built on Claude code. And what I do because I because π now has the telegram functionality and the agent functionality. What I do is if I hear about a thing for enough times, enough YouTube videos, enough people pinging me, which happened with Hermes about 3 weeks ago, I'm like OK, go to go hit the repo, go hit every single forum, find all the videos talking about it, run all the transcripts, find out what people love about this and see what it has that we don't. Right? And that's what Kai does. Kai goes and looks and says oh, turns out Hermes is doing this cool thing with context. Hermes is doing this cool thing with memory updates, which is a thing that you've talked about before we wanted to add to our memory system. It also handles soul files in this way. It handles principal files and DA files in a different way. And I'm like, OK, yes, so I'll have a conversation with Kai for it took probably an hour for me to have that conversation to decide what do I think we're doing better? What are they doing better? And there were some things they were doing definitely better. And now they're, now they're in π And this happened the same with this memory system called Honcho. Honcho was doing a pretty cool memory thing. So I literally now this is all I do. Someone's like, hey, you've got to try this. You got to try this. Well, there's no way I'm going to try it because I'm using my own custom built system. I paste it in, parse it, see if there's anything worth bringing over. And over time, I mean, these are just features, right? They come out as projects, but to me they're just features that are coming into my unified system, and that's the way I pretty much treat everything. Yeah, it's funny. I I pretty much do the same thing. I wanted to at least like have an open claw to, you know, not be in the spot where I've like never used open claw. That's just felt weird at some point. But the other 99% of things that I come across in whatever format go through a similar process, you know, go look at the repo, figure out if there's anything that we really should be doing.…
