One time they force pushed and erased everything except a 2-line README... on purpose.
Pre-obliteration version: https://github.com/bendlang/bend/tree/814453670d0e0d6777c131...
Completely slopped up website, zero human touch. I would even go so far as to call them a hyprocrite, for getting AI to do all that for them instead of, you guessed it, training a junior engineer to do it.
Of course, 131k context at 4-bit quant is a trade off, but even then, it's VERY capable. It doesn't feel that far behind something like GPT 5.6 Luna.
This is how I understand it:
Agent <-> MCP/CLI/code <-> MHS <-> vendor API/SCPI/OPC UA/ROS/etc <-> CAN/Modbus/USB/etc <-> hardware
MHS can describe capabilites, metadata, safety limits, as well as provide read/write control and discovery. Things like "can measure temperature", "arm weighs X kg", "never exceed X RPM", that agents can easily understand. (as opposed to that being buried in a datasheet somewhere, or having to be included in the prompt)
Also see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPC_Unified_Architecture, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardization_in_Lab_Automat..., https://xkcd.com/927/
Comparatively, you can't be 100% sure that Z.ai isn't able to host some other lab's model (although in this case, the hosting errors still support the GLM theory).
I don't think completely solving this sort of problem is even possible.

It's getting ridiculous, frankly
See: https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/blob/main/packages/codi...
Also it's super easy to tell by looking at it, way too many LLM-isms. No need for a AI checker tool.
Always Free can mean different things: to a tenancy like you're describing, or to resources, where it describes the amount of resources you can use for free before you start getting charged money.
https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/FreeTier/freetier...
> All Oracle Cloud Infrastructure accounts (whether free or paid) have a set of resources that are free of charge ... These resources display the Always Free-eligible label
> All tenancies get a set of Always Free resources in the Compute service ... All tenancies get the first 1,500 OCPU hours and 9,000 GB hours per month for free for VM instances using the VM.Standard.A1.Flex shape.
That's for all tenancies, and calculates to 2 OCPUs and 12GB per month. So sure, the provisioning _limits_ go up for PAYG tenancies, but using them certainly ain't free! If you have a 4/24 VM you have to downsize it if you don't want to be charged for it.
