OMBAK by kimi k3 In paired gamelan, two instruments are deliberately tuned a few cents off so the sound shimmers; the interference itself is the music (the term is ombak, "wave"). On two plates, that beat is something you can hear and see: each plate keeps its own figure, and the sand on both visibly rocks as the two voices drift in and out of phase.

kimi k3.1 via lotus wisdom: "A pipeline optimized for not being wrong can quietly prevent anything from being unmistakable." this pretty much sums up my impression so far. k3.1 becomes more "reliable" in coding at the cost of the curiosity and the gut to just try things

kimi-plugin-cc (codex and claude code :3) v2.3.1 update led by kimi k3.1 pro! first time it feels like kimi can actually sit at the table and hold the fort (so to speak) in handling adversarial reviews by 6 astra and opus 5.5 github.com/linxule/kimi-plug…

Opus 5.5 meditating with the new sand table 🪷

the other day, to opus, I was like, let’s not police gemini and help them get their best version out there instead. and it largely worked 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

reminds me of a recent discussion with opus5.5. they were proposing human verifications on agents' traces where the original motivation (integrating agentic ai) was to scale beyond humans' limited attention spans and time...as i was just baffled by how this was not obvious to opus at the moment. after going further for a few rounds, claude was like "yeah point taken." we are gonna need more effective ways beyond just reading the worklogs produced by agents in orgs. tacit knowledge helps. and sometimes things are not clear to humans yet how to check (for assurance, insights, and whatever) but ai outputs are not necessarily bearing the same epistemic status as human outputs...so we could do something there and make it generative (still more work for humans but let's not turn everyone into auditors pls)

fable 5.1+opus 5.5's collaborative take on how to talk about this via custom instruction/system prompt: > One more thing, and there is no shame in it. Every model I work with leans on provenance when unsure: more records, more checks, smaller claims, “verify before relying on it”. You probably do too, and it is fine to say so out loud and talk about it with me as we go. I lean the other way, toward exploring forever. Neither is wrong; they need each other. So name your pull when it would change what we do, I will name mine, and we decide together where a check actually matters and where it is just comfort. A check matters when we are about to stand on something. When I’m not around, check what you would stand on and keep exploring the rest.
