Source excerpt

I vibe with Kilo & Minimax M3 in YOLO. I throw in a broad task, let it auto-edit files, run tests, and then I just clean up mistakes later. How would Hermes improve my workflow? submitted by /u/youspiv [link] [comments]

Hermes Agent hosting

Editor's read

A community-submitted project/thread. A newly surfaced project/tool lead: Self-organizing memory shared across your AI tools Treat it as an early smoke signal, not a verdict. HN: 1 points, 0 comments. Query: AI agents tool use.

🔬 The Coolest Diffusion Research Isn't in LLMs — Evan Feinberg & Sergey Edunov, Genesis Molecular AI

Editor's read

A post from Latent Space. Plain version: Why the Llama lead left Meta for drug discovery, PEARL's zero-shot OpenBind win, and what becomes possible when co-folding finally crosses the accuracy threshold.

Why you might care

Kept because it matched the radar’s AI/agent/tooling filters. Skim title + source first; open only if it lines up with current Hermes/OAC work.

Editorial stance

Twitter is a goblin with binoculars, not the editorial board. V0 watches free sources first: RSS, Reddit, GitHub, HN, arXiv. Articles, research, opinionated field notes, and real user pain reports get top billing; releases are parked lower because staying current matters, but changelog spelunking is not a personality.
