Kronk v1.17.7 is close to feature complete for all the things I wanted to accomplish.

It's ready for people to start building software against. There is a manual at the root of the project. #golang

Kronk v1.16.3 is the best version yet. Lot's of improvements, including the gpt-oss model is working better with tool calling. Right now it's my best model with OpenCode. The Qwen3 is my best model with Cline.

Nice improvements with the BUI and the core performance.

Spent more time today putting Claude Code head to head with AMP.

AMP is just more efficient and writes better code. It just does every time.

I'm at a point where I'm only using Claude to check AMP's work and review code to see if it can find anything AMP misses. That's rare.

Version 1.15.5 has been released of #Kronk. Best version yet. Performance improvements and working with Cline, Claude, and OpenCode.

This model has worked great on my M4 128Gig

Taking back what I said. Finding that if I have #AMP check #Claude and visa versa, I find things the other doesn't.

@aleintech.com said, "It takes a team" 🤯

I have to think of these different Agents as team members who can feed of each other!

I can safely say that #AMP is better than #ClaudeCode

Asked:
- Both to plan a complex change.
- Claude to implement it.
- AMP to review it and it found problems.
- AMP to fix the code.
- Claude to review it.

Excited with `GLM-4.7-Flash-UD-Q8_K_XL`. It's working great with Cline on my M4. Works solid with Claude Code as well, but Cline is faster using the model.

Of course I'm using Kronk as the model server.

This model will allow me to use an Agent when disconnected!!
