I truly hope we get a Qwen 3.8 35B-A3B

The model ID appeared in some alibaba PR but later disappeared.

It's the optimal blend of accessibility and model size for a lot of people.


Hi HN,

I'm the CTO of Kolega and the main author of this. Kolega Code is an open source terminal coding agent. What I want to show today is Gigacode, its orchestration engine. The model writes its own multi-agent workflow as a python program and the harness executes it.

When Claude Code shipped dynamic workflows under the ultracode name a few months ago I thought it was the most interesting thing that happened to coding agents for a while, but it's closed source. This is the same idea, except you can read the code. The model receives your request, maybe investigates a bit, then emits a program written against a small runtime API with paralle phases, pipelines, judge panels, etc.

There's an unedited workflow example the model authored in the repo: https://github.com/kolega-ai/kolega-code/blob/main/examples/...

Architecture doc, including what's guaranteed by the runtime, the journaling and resume behaviour, and what workflow shapes the models actually chose in practice, drawn from a few hundred of our internal runs: https://github.com/kolega-ai/kolega-code/blob/main/how-gigac...

Main thing that needs improvement: the workflow current runs in the foreground and blocks the chat thread until it finishes. Backgrounding it is the next piece of work.

What tasks are you working on with one serial agent that a parallel workflow or a swarm might do better? Interested to see what people might apply this to.


The erosion of trust is actually a good thing, because those institutions are undeserving of trust.


Why would you expect he had things to say outside his area of expertise?


The vast majority of people want to follow someone that has the answers to all of life's problems. Usually the amount of life answers one claims to have is inversely proportional to their wisdom and intelligence.

Reminds me of Jürgen Klopp, Liverpool FC coach, being asked by the media what did he think about the pandemic, to which he answered, paraphrased: "why the hell are you asking me such a question? I'm a football coach, who cares about my opinion on a pandemic. Go talk with a doctor or a virologist, not a football guy."

Maybe the ones who developed Alzheimers forgot.


Forgot what?


To get the flu vaccine.


They supported radical state interventions against covid that affected the economy and forced central banks to run the money printer. Lockdowns, etc.


Ah, gotcha.

Although I don't know any liberals that supported Brexit, that was conservatives that wanted rid of red tape (pesky regulations like maximum working hours) and unions that wanted more red tape than the EU would allow. Unfortunately for the Unions, they voted for Brexit but aren't in control.

Unions are not the same as liberals.


That's like saying bad trapeze artists are not a valid argument for safety nets.


I for one do not believe the battery life claims.


> Unfortunately the Russians never got that memo and remained barbarian.

I don't believe referring to any group of people as barbarians is an appropriate comment for HN, or indeed for any place purporting to be a forum for civilized discourse.


He's also implicitly calling Yemenis, Afghanistanis, Palestenians and Israelis uncivilized too. I heard the same statement ("We are too civilized for war unlike other places") coming from Ukranian tv hosts and it left me dumbfounded.


I was aware of same EU TV person, maybe a UK person, having majorly stepped in it along those lines. It's just incredibly narrow to presume that war-torn places were would choose that.


Which ones of Ukrainian TV hosts?


Thank you for calling this out; the comment serves only to heighten animosity against your average Russian. I'm sure OP aimed it at the Kremlin leadership, but being precise here is important.


I see nothing in his comment to justify such a charitable interpretation.


I agree, but in discourse I strongly subscribe to the Principle of Charity [0]

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_charity


Further, said principle is mandated by Hacker News. <https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html> states:

>Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.


I don’t know what else you call invading a sovereign country because they don’t want to be your vassal though? That seems pretty barbaric to me.


If that is the standard by which the population of a country can be judged to be barbarians, then the category of barbarians is a wide one indeed.


Would you say the same of Israel?


Yes, it's an old SEO hack. It's called "keyword stuffing".
