Another experiment this week: comparing different models for a specific phase of an agent.
Using a standard set of prompts, we captured repeated control and experimental measurements for using Haiku instead of Luna during a tool-selection pass.
Haiku selected tools similarly or better but almost twice as fast. Due to how the tool data is tokenized though, there was a 30% cost increase. We rolled it out.
Important to break down the parts and measure them on their own!
Are folks using @claudeai subscriptions with Hermes or OpenClaw again?

If you value your time, then OpenAI just isn't it right now.
Poor service availability, and inference is super, super slow. This isn't even about model quality; the problems go far beyond that. @claudeai is 100/100 better choice right now, faster inferencing, better availability and the models are better too.
This is one of the more interesting ones I’ve heard! Allow retirees who don’t need SS to forego it or give it to children in exchange for other benefits.
Replying to @WillManidis
Yea this plus IRS changes. Examples:
1) allow mass affluent Boomers to easily pass retirement money to kids/grandkids
2) rich Boomers that forgo SS/MA all together get big tax deduction and/or higher lifetime gift limit
3) make Boomer mortgages transferable to first-time buyers
Running a process like this in the past was always fun/educational, but also time consuming. Teaching agents how to do it well just relentlessly improves performance pretty easily. Pick the top 5 most used parts of your app and run it.
For the last few days, I’ve been using /poteto-mode to help with hill-climbing improvements to the agent we’re building into @DaltonMillsAI. It’s been a huge help teaching agents how to coordinate the process and measure at each step.
Did Boomers feel this about the Greatest Generation? Will Zoomers feel it about Gen X? These people have had their whole lives to accumulate assets, it’s natural that they have more than you.
