(off-topic) With AGI is coming, can we start talking about how it can actually improve our pathetic carbon-based lives? One of the scariest things in life is the fact you can randomly have a stroke and become incapable. I've seen that happen to people I love, to streamers, to famous people. It is common, it is devastating, and it is one of the things I feel like humanity got wrong. These days, I've been wondering whether there could be a way to greatly reduce your odds of going through this. (From now below, please read this post as speculative science fiction written by a complete layman.) I'm not talking about preventive measures, like controlling your pressure, eating well, or exercising. These are very effective, but they max out. Strokes can and do happen, even with perfect prevention and health. So, I'm talking about something stronger: an hypothetical first-aid treatment that would shut down a stroke at home; i.e., something like the Heimlich Maneuver, but for CVAs. Let's imagine an hypothetically perfect intervention. A clog is formed somewhere, it travels through your blood stream, and clogs an artery supplying blood to your brain. A side of your face drops, you lose fine movement on one of your hands, and that arm feels heavily. You're having a stroke. From now on, every minute causes you to lose ~2 million neurons. These will never grow again, and the synaptic information they carry is lost forever. Your house is on fire, and every minute something is lost, except it is not your house, it is you. And you want to stop the fire, ASAP. You tell your partner, who is prepared to act. They grab device X. Device X doesn't exist, and it may not be physically possible, so, it is science fiction. But it is the kind of device I believe might be plausibly constructive, specially post-AGI. What it does is simple: it scans you and outputs, with great accuracy, whether you're having a stroke, and what kind of stroke you're having. That's all. Your partner uses it on you, and you get a response: "You're having an ischemic stroke. There is a small clot (~4 mm) blocking the M2 superior division of your left middle cerebral artery. No signs of hemorrhage. Estimated onset: 4 minutes ago. Brain tissue at risk: moderate, fully salvageable. Clot is small and fresh; high likelihood of dissolution with IV thrombolysis alone. Dial 911 immediatelly, and administer tenecteplase now: 0.25 mg/kg as a single intravenous bolus over 5 seconds (estimated weight 72 kg, dose 18 mg). Keep patient lying flat. Re-scan in 15 minutes." Your partner administers the IV tenecteplase, and calls 911. 15 minutes later, the ambulance isn't here yet. Luckily enough, your face looks normal. You use Device X again. It says: "Left M2 artery reopened. Blood flow restored. No hemorrhage detected. Brain tissue at risk: none remaining. Contact emergency services for routine post-thrombolysis monitoring." So, by just injecting tenecteplase fast enough, you escaped a whole life of misery and suffering. You almost became a vegetable. Instead, you just gained a scary memory. And you just needed 2 things: *information*, and an IV shot. In a very practical sense, in the presence of perfect information, tenecteplase would be a "near antidote" for about half of all strokes (85% are ischemic, most of which are caused by small clots). The only reason we don't give tenecteplase at home today is that, sadly, if you're having an hemorrhagic stroke, then, it actually makes things worse, and the average outcomes even out. So, the information provided by Device X is what would allow this first-aid treatment to be effective. I asked Opus 5.5 to evaluate this exact scenario. That is, you have a small clot ischemic stroke, device X confirms that's the case, and you administer tenecteplase on your way to the hospital. According to it, the odds of complete recovery are ~72%, against ~58% of not administering it. Note that this estimative could be completely off; we don't have enough data because tenecteplase is rarely given that quickly! That said, if this estimate is correct, then, that means that this intervention would reduce the odds for an average person to be disabled by a stroke in their lifetimes from 14% to 11%. For a perspective, a perfectly healthy person has 4%. So, even such hypothetical device would still be less impactful than diet, exercise, sleep. Yet, it would do *something*, which is better than nothing. I for one would surely have such device at home, if it worked exactly like that. Now, just to be clear, this post is just me fantasizing about simpler ways that AGI could improve our lives without necessarily curing cancer or something. Device X is sci-fi, but feels like the kind of thing that AGI could help us design: a portable, cheap scanner (perhaps some mix of microwave imaging, ultrasound, and EEG, paired with a very good model) that does at home what a CT scanner does in the ER today. CTs already exist, the drug already exists, the bottleneck is purely getting the *information* quickly enough, and that's the kind of problem that I believe AutoResearch could potentially solve. Or not. Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor, and I have no idea what I'm talking about. For god's sake do not get ideas from this post. Tenecteplase will KILL you if you guess the wrong kind of stroke.

feels a lot like naruto learning the rasengan | 64-128 swarms

Yeah, Devin is the best provider for any of the Chinese models. Charm is next, but it's expensive now. Opencode go is cheap, has good limits, but unstable, when running huge swarms.

100 model swarm, using DeepSeek v4.1 flash on max, on a big repo to process amounted to 2.5% Devin weekly usage. Just for reference. This is what 250 hyper charm credits (12.5$) worth of inference would get me

Yeah, as everyone can see and feel, tokens are getting expensive now. Just went to do a check and this absurd value subscription is not available anymore <and I just learned that I'll be losing access to it in a week from now> So, yeah. Enjoy while it lasts, the good subs.
Best deal atm I think. For Chinese models, work like a charm. It's daily 250 credits, I sub and can certify.

It was, quite literally, 20$ a month, and if used 250 credits per day, you would get 300$+ of inference costs. And it's one of the best providers of Chinese models.

Ppl should hoard the opencode go 10$ sub. Offering 80$ worth of DeepSeek v4.1 flash for 10$, with decent TPS, will not be a thing that will last imo. Limits are amazing, also. Hard to justify 100$ on any sub vs 10x 10 opencode go's going round robin

veigapunk.github.io/vorcaro-… WIP waiting for the DLC on the next pack of messages; later plan is to release a the sims like; protagonist is vorcaro

I think if prime intellect and moonshot collab'd we would be on the fastest path possible to agentic swarm of self refining, self driving, self iterating, self improving frontier agentic AI And no, not just a buzzword dump. True thought, this one.

One more month to get your self orchestrating agent swarms ready so you can funmaxx n tokenmaxx, in parallel
Rockstar dropped the official GTA 6 launch trailer
21
Honestly think this is one of the best deals you can get Get one of these hyper shred (20$ a month, if used thoroughly, it amounts to 240$~) +2 opencode go for DeepSeek v4.1 flash (10$ a month, 80$ worth in usage + access to other models) 40$ gets you 400$ usage in models, good providers with api keys, not oauth

new obsession, unlocked. using the shokunin concept to train specialized domain agents, autonomously

The meta is using k2.8 preview (charges no cache hits) with swarms of DeepSeek v4.1 flash / glm 5.3-flash Within kimi code cli, it works wonders. Also, tower mode (new feature, amazing) and swarm mode work like a charm. Try it out. For the providers of DeepSeek, I recommend Hyper (20$, daily generous grants to use with any Chinese cheap model), Alibaba Token Plan (70$, no limits, monthly usage only) and also zai for the glm ones. It currently lacks support for Devin, which will be a game changer if it does. @Kimi_Moonshot @KimiDevs @KimiAI_Japan

Tower mode is Kimi Code's experimental way to run several agents on one repo at once. Your session becomes the "tower", which plans and coordinates the work but doesn't write the code itself. The tower splits your goal into small missions and gives each one to a worker agent in its own git worktree, a private checkout on its own branch. Reviewer agents then check each finished branch before it's merged into your base branch. How the concurrency works in 2.2.0 Shared files: workers can now change the same busy files, like a central config.go, at the same time. Before, those missions effectively had to wait for each other, so several workers ended up barely faster than one. Merging still happens one mission at a time, in dependency order. Before each merge, TowerRebase updates the mission's branch onto the current base. If that's clean it merges; if it conflicts, the worker that wrote it fixes the conflict in its own worktree. Locks: starting, resuming, rebasing and merging each take a lock on that branch, so two operations can't change the same branch at once. Writes to the tower's state file are protected too, so two processes can't corrupt it. Merge rules in code: plain code now decides whether a mission can merge, not the model's judgement. The mission must be complete, with no open tasks or blockers. Its worker must have stopped, and the missions it depends on must already be merged. The review must say "clean, merge" for the exact commit being merged. The merge uses that fixed commit, so a branch that moves after the check can't slip in. Messaging running workers: a message you send reaches a running worker at its next step. It never interrupts a tool call that's already running, so to stop a worker outright you use an explicit stop. A message you send to the tower itself while it's busy now stops its current turn and starts a new one. Changing the base branch: you can now do this with missions still open. Only branches behind the new base need a rebase; the rest carry on. Limits to know about One tower: there's exactly one tower per session, and each worker owns one mission. Not with goal mode: you can't run goal mode and Tower mode together. Stricter merging: reviews marked "hold" or "fix then merge" now block the merge, and branches with open tasks are rejected where they used to sometimes get through. Cheaper overhead: /tower status no longer calls the model, and the tower's instructions shrank by about 45%. Coordination costs less, but the workers' and reviewers' actual coding and reviewing costs the same. It works best when the tower can split your goal into many small, mostly separate missions. To try it in 2.2.0, set KIMI_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_TOWER=1, then run /tower on. The rework PR has the full details. Image with the flowchart
