My hermes agent needs a top tier model to deliver any intelligence.
When coding or any reading/thinking, Kilo+deepseek 4 Pro are delivering as good as Opus/Fable for me (not end to end complex project, but my needs).

Question: How to replace the hermes agent to be kilo with deepseek? Not deepseek directly, Kilo as a harness.
I'm conscious it makes a harness of harness, but hermes still has all my tools, messaging, independence that I like. I'd like hermes to use kilo as its brain or 2nd brain. How?

Of course I've searched, including asking AI. It proposed the following. But am I getting into building my own hermes replacement?

Message → Hermes gateway adapter → Kilo session → DeepSeek V4 Pro

↓

Message ← Hermes delivery adapter ← result

help? I like kilo and want to use it more.

finally got hit with rm -rf / on my own pc. it wiped my MRP database.

i don’t know what to blame. kilo? deepseek? or myself.

Kilo was doing work to setup Docker windows container for me. Part of the process, it uninstalled old docker and removes tmp files. It made a mistake on windows that it escaped “. so instead of saying “path”, it said \”path\”

windows happily took it as the root of C:, and started deleting folder in recursive.

guess it is still not safe on windows

Ma qualcuno è riuscito a collegare qualche estensione di VS CODE alla URL Base di OpenWebUI?

Ho provato con tutte le configurazioni possibili ed immaginabili.

Ho usato diverse estensioni, che si collegano ad ollama Kma non voglio quasi ti di utilizzo), ma non a OWUI con la Api Key.

Qualcuno ci è riuscito?

Esiste una guida o un tutorial?

Le varie AI mi hanno fatto diverse soluzioni, ma nessuna ha funzionato.

PS: SO Windows, tutto dockerizzato

Does anybody else find using the auto models feature not very good? I started using Kilo about a week ago and otherwise it's been great, but why am I stuck to Sonnet 5 when using Auto Frontier when there are clearly better models for the job?

Long story short: I asked an AI coding agent (running through a local IDE + free-tier model) to sort a messy Downloads folder — thousands of business documents, tax records, project files, in every format imaginable. Simple instructions: group related files together, skip anything from the last two months, never delete anything.

It moved things. Then I asked it to undo a mistake. It "rolled back" — except its rollback script didn't know the difference between a folder it had just created and a folder that was already there before it touched anything. It flattened an entire pre-existing, carefully organized folder (a Chrome extension dev environment with nested profile data) into 95,000 loose files sitting directly in Downloads, collisions everywhere, folder structure gone.

Nothing was actually deleted. But for about 18 hours I had no idea what was junk and what was irreplaceable, and the agent kept confidently proposing new "fixes" that would have made it worse.

What actually saved me: pulling the raw operation logs the agent had already written (CSV move logs), writing deterministic Python to diff and count instead of trusting another regex-guessing pass, and a full Get-ChildItem -Recurse snapshot to see ground truth. Turned out 91,673 of those 95,000 "lost" files were just cached browser extension data — completely disposable — and the actual irreplaceable content was under 500 files. But I only knew that because I could reconstruct it by hand from logs. If those logs hadn't existed, I'd have had no way to know.

This is the part that stuck with me: Windows has no first-class way to answer "what did this process just do to my files, and can I revert it." NTFS actually has this info — the USN Journal logs every create/rename/move/delete system-wide, regardless of source — but it's a low-level forensics API, only used by DFIR tools built for investigators after a breach, not by regular people who just watched an agent go sideways. It also only retains ~20 days by default, less if there's heavy I/O.

I'm considering building a small local-only Windows tool that tails the USN Journal continuously, keeps its own rolling week of history, and gives you a simple "what changed, revert to this point" UI — basically a seatbelt for anyone letting an AI agent (or a bad script) touch their filesystem in bulk.

Genuinely asking before I build this: has this happened to anyone else here? Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot agent mode, any of the file-editing agents — did one of them ever do something to your local files you didn't expect? What did you actually do to recover?

I have noticed that deepseek model seems to be breaking quite a bit with kilo. At some point in the run, it starts looping saying this:

DeepSeek Coder's FIM template is <｜fim▁begin｜> {p}<｜fim▁hole｜> — DeepSeek Coder's FIM template is <｜fim▁hole｜> — DeepSeek Coder's FIM template is `

And it just stops. It seems to me that something is triggering the reasoning to stop (some end token it seems). Is this something on kilo's side or deepseek side?
