[I got frustrated with local LLM setups that have great memory but no experience.

 They remember your last message. They don't learn your reasoning style.

 So I built experience-engine: a Python package that sits on top of your

 existing Ollama setup and runs periodic reflection passes over your interaction log.

 **What it actually does:**

 After logging interactions, you run two commands:

 experience-reflect # extracts beliefs: goals, preferences, values

 experience-synthesize # extracts cognitive patterns across all domains

 The synthesis step is the interesting one. It doesn't just summarize — it abstracts.

 "User prefers local infrastructure" becomes "User applies control-first reasoning

 across technical and knowledge domains." That pattern then gets injected into

 every future prompt.

 **Before experience:**

 > "You should consider using a managed vector DB for scale."

 **After experience:**

 > "Your control-first archetype will resist Pinecone — that instinct is correct

 > for now. But set a concrete threshold today so the migration decision is already

 > made before the pressure hits."

 **Stack:**

 - Ollama (any model — tested with Mistral, Llama3)

 - Pure Python stdlib — no pip dependencies beyond the package itself

 - Storage: plain JSONL + JSON files, no database

 **The thing I didn't expect:** the cognitive tension detection. When the system

 notices "user wants to scale" contradicting "user avoids external dependencies",

 it surfaces the exact strategic question that resolves it. That's been more

 useful than the beliefs themselves.

 GitHub + full docs:

 pip install experience-engine

 Would love feedback from anyone who runs it against a different model —

 curious whether the synthesis prompt degrades on smaller models.](/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1r7z7m3/built_a_reflection_layer_for_local_llms_after_20/)

### America’s Public Pensions: A $6 Trillion Misallocation Crisis#americas-public-pensions-a-6-trillion-misallocation-crisis

- Public pension funds hold $6 trillion in capital perfectly suited for long-term infrastructure (transmission lines, nuclear plants, housing) but are trapped in fee-heavy alternative investments
- Boston College research shows public pensions earn the same 6.1% annual return as a simple Vanguard 60/40 index portfolio, despite paying massive fees to consultants and alternative managers
- Since 2008, pensions have underperformed benchmarks by 1.2% annually as they increased allocations to hedge funds and private equity, with 84% failing to beat passive portfolios over 20 years
- Fee structures cost $60 billion annually (1% of $6 trillion), totaling over $1 trillion in 30 years, with private equity alone charging 6%+ in total costs
- CalPERS exited hedge funds in 2014 for “high costs and weak performance” but announced $30 billion more in private market investments by 2024—the cycle repeats
- Conservative Oren Cass and progressive Dean Baker converge on the same diagnosis: American finance has stopped fueling the real economy and started consuming it
- The economics profession’s credibility suffers from selective skepticism—demanding bailouts for banks (SVB) while opposing student loan relief as inflationary
- China’s state-directed development bank model built infrastructure at one-third the cost and accounts for 75% of global poverty reduction over four decades
- Pension capital deployed through current intermediaries actively harms communities: buying up housing, closing hospitals, bankrupting local employers, gutting newspapers
- The solution doesn’t require new spending—it requires redirecting existing patient capital away from extractive finance toward productive long-term infrastructure investments

### 美国公共养老金：6万亿美元的资本错配危机#美国公共养老金6万亿美元的资本错配危机

- 公共养老基金持有6万亿美元资本，完美适配长期基础设施投资(输电线路、核电站、住房)，却被困在高费用的另类投资中
- 波士顿学院研究显示，公共养老金年回报率为6.1%，与简单的先锋60/40指数组合相同，尽管向顾问和另类投资经理支付了巨额费用
- 自2008年以来，养老金增加对冲基金和私募股权配置后，年度表现落后基准1.2%，84%的基金在20年内未能跑赢被动投资组合
- 费用结构每年耗费600亿美元(6万亿的1%)，30年累计超过1万亿美元，仅私募股权的总成本就超过6%
- CalPERS于2014年因”高成本和弱表现”退出对冲基金，但到2024年又宣布增加300亿美元私募市场投资——循环重复
- 保守派Oren Cass和进步派Dean Baker得出相同诊断：美国金融业已停止为实体经济提供动力，转而消耗实体经济
- 经济学界信誉受损源于选择性怀疑主义——要求救助银行(SVB)，同时反对学生贷款减免称其会引发通胀
- 中国国家主导的开发银行模式以三分之一成本建设基础设施，占过去40年全球减贫成果的75%
- 通过现有中介机构部署的养老金资本正在损害社区：收购住房、关闭医院、使当地雇主破产、摧毁报纸
- 解决方案无需新增支出——需要将现有耐心资本从掠夺性金融重新导向生产性长期基础设施投资

### Heretic - Fully Automatic Censorship Removal for Language Models#heretic---fully-automatic-censorship-removal-for-language-models

- What it does: Heretic automatically removes safety alignment (censorship) from transformer-based language models without expensive retraining. It uses directional ablation (“abliteration”) combined with TPE-based parameter optimization to create uncensored models that retain the original model’s intelligence.
- Key features:Completely automatic operation - no manual parameter tuning or deep learning expertise required
- Co-minimizes refusals and KL divergence to preserve model capabilities
- Supports most dense models, multimodal models, and MoE architectures
- Built-in evaluation and benchmarking tools
- Research features for interpretability analysis (residual vector plotting, geometry metrics)
- Model quantization support to reduce VRAM requirements
- Simple CLI: pip install heretic-llm && heretic

- Why it’s notable: Heretic achieves state-of-the-art results that rival or exceed manually-tuned abliterations by human experts. For example, on Gemma-3-12B, it matches the refusal suppression of expert abliterations (3/100 refusals) while achieving 3-6x lower KL divergence (0.16 vs 0.45-1.04), indicating significantly less damage to the model’s original capabilities. The community has created over 1,000 models using Heretic, with users praising the quality of outputs. Processing takes ~45 minutes for an 8B model on RTX 3090.

### Heretic - 语言模型全自动审查移除工具#heretic---语言模型全自动审查移除工具

- 功能介绍: Heretic 可自动移除基于 Transformer 的语言模型中的安全对齐(审查机制),无需昂贵的后训练。它结合方向消融(“abliteration”)技术和基于 TPE 的参数优化器,创建保留原始模型智能的无审查模型。
- 主要特点:完全自动化操作 - 无需手动调参或深度学习专业知识
- 同时最小化拒绝率和 KL 散度以保留模型能力
- 支持大多数密集模型、多模态模型和 MoE 架构
- 内置评估和基准测试工具
- 研究功能支持可解释性分析(残差向量可视化、几何度量)
- 支持模型量化以降低显存需求
- 简单的命令行操作:pip install heretic-llm && heretic

- 为何值得关注: Heretic 实现了媲美甚至超越人类专家手动调优的最先进结果。例如在 Gemma-3-12B 上,它达到了与专家消融相同的拒绝抑制效果(3/100 拒绝率),但 KL 散度降低了 3-6 倍(0.16 vs 0.45-1.04),表明对模型原始能力的损害显著更小。社区已使用 Heretic 创建了超过 1,000 个模型,用户对输出质量给予高度评价。在 RTX 3090 上处理 8B 模型约需 45 分钟。

In Brief

Posted:

2:28 PM PST · February 15, 2026

Image Credits:Getty Images

Peter Steinberger, who created the AI personal assistant now known as [OpenClaw](https://openclaw.ai/), has joined OpenAI.

Previously known as Clawdbot, then Moltbot, [OpenClaw achieved viral popularity](https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/27/everything-you-need-to-know-about-viral-personal-ai-assistant-clawdbot-now-moltbot/) over the past few weeks with its promise to be the “AI that actually does things,” whether that’s managing your calendar, booking flights, or even [joining a social network full of other AI assistants](https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/30/openclaws-ai-assistants-are-now-building-their-own-social-network/). (The name changed the first time after Anthropic threatened legal action over its similarity to Claude, then changed again because Steinberger liked the new name better.)

In [a blog post announcing his decision](https://steipete.me/posts/2026/openclaw) to join OpenAI, the Austrian developer said that while he might have been able to turn OpenClaw into a huge company, “it’s not really exciting for me.”

“What I want is to change the world, not build a large company[,] and teaming up with OpenAI is the fastest way to bring this to everyone,” Steinberger said.

OpenAI CEO [Sam Altman posted on X](https://x.com/sama/status/2023150230905159801?s=46&t=45_xAnRsdQP1GVqYv9Gdbw) that in his new role, Steinberger will “drive the next generation of personal agents.” As for OpenClaw, Altman said it will “live in a foundation as an open source project that OpenAI will continue to support.”

China is ringing in the Lunar New Year with a flurry of new artificial intelligence (AI) model launches. Tech companies, such as Alibaba, ByteDance, and Zhipu, have all announced new product launches in the weeks leading up to China’s biggest holiday, while industry watchers expect a new Deepseek model soon.

China is widely regarded as a major competitor to the United States in the race to adopt and develop artificial intelligence models.

Thenew deployments are preparing the Chinese market for AI agents, systems that can make decisions and execute tasks, such as navigating websites and generating content, without needing human assistance.

## Alibaba’s Qwen 3.5

E-commerce giant Alibaba released its latest AI model, Qwen3.5, hours before the Lunar New Year starts on 16 February. The model understands text, images, and videos across 200 languages, the company says.

The new model can deploy AI agents up to five times faster than previous models and its competitors, including the latest models of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude, the company [said](https://qwen.ai/blog?id=qwen3.5). Their agents can fill out forms, navigate websites, and complete multi-step workflows.

Early tests show Qwen3.5 can generate functional 3D games, browsers, websites, and analyse medical imagery. The model is also up to 60 percent cheaper than its predecessor model, Qwen2.5, the company said.

In 2025, Alibaba committed 380 billion yuan (€50.6 billion) to cloud computing and AI in the next three years, one of the company’s largest tech investments to date.

## ByteDance’s launches

ByteDance, the Chinese company behind TikTok, announced two new AI developments in the weeks before the Lunar New Year.

The latest version of the company’s AI chatbot, Doubao 2.0, launched over the weekend. The newest model includes complex reasoning and multi-step task execution that matches OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini current models, Reuters reported.

ByteDance also[released](https://seed.bytedance.com/en/research) SeeDance 2.0 on February 14, the second version of its image-to-video and text-to-video app. The software lets users create “immersive” audio and video with director-level controls. One viral[video](https://x.com/RuairiRobinson/status/2021394940757209134) features a rooftop fight between American actors Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.

The American Motion Picture Association criticised SeeDance2.0 for unleashing the use of copyrighted works on “a massive scale,” according to a statement.

“By launching a service that operates without meaningful safeguards against infringement, ByteDance is disregarding well-established copyright law that protects the rights of creators and underpins millions of American jobs,” the[statement](https://www.motionpictures.org/press/motion-picture-association-calls-for-bytedance-to-cease-seedance-2-0-infringing-activity/) reads.

ByteDance representatives told the BBC that it will take steps to strengthen current safeguards on the platform to protect intellectual copyright..

## Zhipu AI’s GLM-5

Zhipu AI released its open source[GLM-5 model](https://glm-5.org/?) on February 11, a model that the company says is engineered for “agentic intelligence, advanced multi-step reasoning, and frontier-level performance,” in coding, creative writing and problem-solving.

The model can build assistants that plan, browse, call tools and manage multi-step workflows over long sessions, the company[says](https://glm-5.org/?). It can also generate full-length reports and process and reason long academic papers.

GLM-5 uses DeepSeek’s sparse attention mechanism DSA, which cuts computational costs while enhancing model efficiency.

The company claims the model was also trained entirely on Huawei Ascend chips and “achieves full independence from US-manufactured semiconductor hardware,” which the company said is a “milestone in self-reliant AI infrastructure”.

Last month, Zhipu went public on the Hong Kong stock exchange and raised HKD 4.35 billion (€465 million) for what the company said will be its next-generation model development.

## Coming soon: DeepSeek’s V4

DeepSeek, the Chinese AI company known for its open source cheap models, is expected to release its fourth version sometime around the Lunar New Year, according to The Information.

When V4 is released, it could replace the V3 model, which powered the assistant app that became the top-rated free application available in the United States and worldwide, overtaking ChatGPT last January.

DeepSeek’s V3 rattled global markets last year and sparked a global sell-off of US-led tech stocks. Industry giants, including chipmaker Nvidia, saw shares plummet by 17 per cent and erased $600 billion (€573 billion) in market capitalisation before recovering later in the day.

While it hasn’t been released yet, DeepSeek fuelled anticipation last week when its chatbot upgraded its context window, the amount of information that it can remember and handle in a single task, according to the South China Morning Post.

Some European countries, such as[Italy](https://www.euronews.com/next/2025/01/31/deepseek-ai-blocked-by-italian-authorities-as-others-member-states-open-probes), Denmark, and the Czech Republic banned government agencies from using

I've spent way too much money on Claude Code; three Max accounts for 5 months, work and personal. But it's made me so much more efficient I can't stop.

 Here's the main thing I've learned: it's the context window, not the model. When your agent does everything in one conversation, the window fills up with stuff it doesn't need by the time it's actually writing code. That's why results are inconsistent.

 I come from DevOps, so I started treating my agent like a pipeline; isolated stages, validated gates, fresh context at each phase. Then I built a knowledge flywheel on top so each session compounds on the last. Learnings get extracted automatically, indexed, scored, and injected back into the next session. You can search across all your past chat histories and knowledge artifacts.

 I packaged it all into an open-source plugin. Composable primitives you wire together however you want. Use one skill or all of them. And the knowledge flywheel means session 10 has context session 1 didn't:

- /research — Explores your codebase, writes findings to a file
- /plan — Decomposes into issues with dependency waves
- /pre-mortem — Fresh judges validate the plan before you code
- /crank — Parallel workers, isolated context, lead validates and commits
- /vibe — Fresh judges validate the code, not the conversation
- /post-mortem — Extracts learnings, suggests what to build next
- /rpi "goal" — Chains all six, one command, walk away
- /council — Multi-model review on anything, zero setup
- /evolve — Define repo goals, it keeps improving until they're green

 Skills chain together and invoke a Go CLI automatically through hooks — knowledge injection, transcript mining, validation gates, the whole flywheel. You don't configure any of it.

npx skills@latest add boshu2/agentops --all -g
 /quickstart in Claude Code. Works with Codex, Cursor, anything supporting Skills. Everything local.

 Feedback welcome.
