One example: earlier versions of my mlx-code's harness layer were largely a Python port/adaptation of Pi.

Thanks! I totally agree. I’m looking at ways to further tighten the pairing between Vim’s native tools and LLMs (like with :diff and :make/:copen to run the code, feed errors back to the LLM, then apply the fixes, etc). The catch is model variability—what works for Llama doesn’t always work with R1 because of formatting/behavior quirks, and vice versa. Finding a common ground for all models is proving tricky.

Thanks for the suggestion! The plugin currently supports toggling between <Leader>/<C-*> via USE_LEADER config flag. I will add a field in the config file for more customizability (e.g., "KEYBINDINGS": {"mapl":"<C-a>", "mapj":"<Leader>o", ...} in cfg.json).

VimLM is a local, offline coding assistant for Vim. It’s like Copilot but runs entirely on your machine—no APIs, no tracking, no cloud.- Deep Context: Understands your codebase (current file, selections, references). - Conversational: Iterate with follow-ups like "Add error handling". - Vim-Native: Keybindings like `Ctrl-l` for prompts, `Ctrl-p` to replace code. - Inline Commands:...

I've been experimenting with transforming Microsoft's Phi-3.5 into a byte-level language model with RetNet-inspired elements. The result is RetNPhi, a hybrid model that combines the strengths of Phi-3.5 with the efficiency of RetNet.Key features:- Byte-level processing for universal file type handling- RetNet's multi-scale exponential decay and group normalization for efficient long-range...
