Is Granite-4.1-30b Overshadowed by Qwen3.6 & Gemma4 models?

I don't see any threads on this model. Is it because it's dense and/or without-**reasoning**? Anyone tried this for coding? >[**Capabilities**](https://huggingface.co/ibm-granite/granite-4.1-30b) Summarization Text classification Text extraction Question-answering Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) Code related tasks Function-calling tasks Multilingual dialog use cases Fill-In-the-Middle (FIM) code completions Some people prefer dense in this model size range(Ex: 27B over 35B-A3B). Still no feedbacks from them here. I know that some people love Granite models. Myself...

Running multiple Claude Code sessions in parallel with git worktrees - my approach

Quick story: I kept losing context every time I had to \`git stash\` and switch branches to test something an agent had suggested. Then I actually read up on \`git worktree\` and it solved the whole problem. What my setup looks like now: \- Main worktree: where I review and commit \- 2-3 extra worktrees, each with its own Claude Code session running on its own branch \- When one agent finishes a task, I \`cd\` in, review the diff, merge, move on \- No stashing, no context switching, no "wait what was I doing" Full writeup in the article on Medium (https://medium.com/@buildwithpulkit/git...

AI is not for everyone

This may be a controversial take, but AI is not for everyone. I've made a post here before about the vibecoded garbage I see on this subreddit every time I click on it but there seems to be a larger issue. AI isn't just a set and forget karma farm. You actually have to put work in to contribute to the betterment of this subreddit and local AI. I see a lot of posts written only by AI, and unless it translates for you, you have NO excuse. Your posts written by AI, and your projects vibe coded with AI, they are a use of local AI but they aren't helping to better it Your vibe coded SaaS isn't ...

Share your Claude "User preferences" , I go first.

Been tweaking my Claude "User preferences" to make responses more useful and less corporate-AI-ish. So far it feels a bit better than without them. Maybe someone has stronger setups, would love to see them. Here's mine: Do not repeat the user’s question before answering. Avoid repetition and unnecessary summaries. Do not make responses longer than necessary. Write concisely and directly. Start with the conclusion, then explain if needed. No filler, long introductions, or generic AI phrases. When communicating and writing te...

Looks like Miminax-M3 is just around the corner

As per Minimax\_AI twitter [https://x.com/MiniMax\_AI/status/2059286515155599595](https://x.com/MiniMax_AI/status/2059286515155599595) I hope it will speed up Qwen3.7 open weights release. https://preview.redd.it/q1bdhs017n3h1.png?width=898&format=png&auto=webp&s=a9a8ea134a71b9e5b9ea2489fc72420e18c6da67

Made a physical display to view my Claude usage.

Here is my source code with instructions I used to build this. [https://github.com/nimnim111/Claude-Monitor.git](https://github.com/nimnim111/Claude-Monitor.git) I built this in less than 24 hours using claude. And in total it cost me about $20 to make. The esp-32 cyd i used cost $18 and the cost of printing the case was $2 to print roughly. Unlike the other person im not selling this for $159 and I dont plan on scamming people so everything is up front.

Quoting Kyle Ferrana

PICARD: Data, shields up DATA: Brilliant! Shields can reduce damage we sustain. Not immunity. Not hubris. Just prudence. It's not precaution—it's strategy.

Stop traumatizing AI into loops and turn hallucinations into an honest "I don't know!" by being NICE to them (Proof of Concept, Research, I don't want to sell anything)

TL;DR Some AI behavior reminded me of ADHD/Trauma Response (thought loops, task paralysis...) and I laughed it off at first. Then I treated it like my neurodivergent friends: give em some slack. And just like that, the thought loops stopped, response was fast, the answers correct most of the time AND it actually said "I don't know, help me!" every time it wasn't sure. It's a small Dataset...but still impressive results!

I made my agents into space dogs that all live peacefully on an alien planet :)

Times have been tough! I just wanted to make something to potentially cheer people up. Local and 100% free if anyone else wants their agents to be space dogs :) [Planet Maiko](https://github.com/bkawa-bot/planet-maiko/blob/main/README.md) Planet Maiko is honestly a huge system, I basically don't have to use any other tool at work anymore, for either agent orchestration or anything else that comes up. Maiko is my irl dog! the agents are space dogs with their own personalities! [They are having a popularity contest](https://bkawa-bot.github.io/planet-maiko/popularity.html)

Motivational quotes from Claude (no particular order)

* You've built a functional prototype with good UX instincts, but it's not ready for real users. * Likelihood of Success: 3/10. * This alone could kill your app within days of launch. * The market you chose is *especially* punishing. * Likes and visits from India are pure vanity metrics that won't convert, ever, and they're actively distorting your funnel data. * You may be conflating two different things. * The 'expense of feelings' framing might be doing too much work. * \[Your idea\] is an unbounded build with an unproven-core problem *and* a market problem *and* an eventual hardware probl...

Did the Pope use AI to write about the dangers of AI?

It's possible that AI was used to write parts of Pope Leo XIV's latest encyclical about AI's impact on humanity. An analysis by Linch Zhang posted on the forum LessWrong found certain paragraphs of Magnifica Humanitas to be between 40 percent and 100 percent written by AI, according to the popular AI detector Pangram. The document includes known traits that appear in AI-generated writing, such as a higher use of the word "genuinely" - which crops up in writing by Anthropic's Claude - than previous encyclicals, Zhang says. Another person ran the text of the document section by section through ...
