devmando··on Ask HN: What have you been curious about?
this is a good question, and I wonder if its even open to the public. My limited knowledge knows that Anthropic settled a lawsuit of I believe ~1.3billion for scanned textbooks if I'm not mistaken.
devmando··on Show HN: MandoCode Desktop – Native Windows AI Coding Assistant on Ollama .NET
this is to be used with open-weight models available on ollama (glm5.2, minimax-m3, qwen3.5) on the cloud and locally if you have the hardware. I haven't used Hermes yet, but it seems great. My approach for this was to create an application that allows you to quickly spin up an agent in a tab, review notes, context, and project folders to produce something. I believe Hermes is highlighted as an agent that keeps learning and building the more you use it, and it seems like many would say it was a level up from Clawdbot as a personal assistant. My line of thinking was let's make tabbed agents and then decorate features around those tab sessions to make my productivity higher and more organized. I find that agentic work and development is a mixture of agents and workflows outside of this project and I use all of them openai, anthropic , ollama etc..
