Really curious about people's workflows with these agentic-but-not-for-coding workflows. Are there some interesting people to follow there or just good testbeds/environments to get an idea ?

Removing spam from email, extracting attachments (invoices) from emails, and otherwise managing E-mail. Those are my use cases, although I suspect this model will be too small for that. I currently use 27-35B models (MoE mostly).

My little home assistant.

It has to query the tool service, invoke tools, synthesize results, or request new tools. Nothing really complex.

New tool requests from it are plain english and go into a separate pipeline using more appropriate models. It doesn’t have to write anything itself.

Better question is does a coding model do better on these agentic tasks? And is the only advantage efficiency??

I am getting to know Hermes agent and in the last couple of days I used it for searching the web for medical specialists or finding the best deal for a product online, manipulate with excel and word documents, gather data from APIs, finding stuff in my computer or keeping track of itself running in another process and keep the computer awake and when detecting the process is finished, put computer to sleep.

I have noticed that these cheaper and faster models are very great for Ops-work. Luna max is beast when you use some stronger model to write detailed instructions/run book what to do and when to stop.

I feed these things my tax transcripts and it found all sorts of refunds and ways to waive penalties that the IRS and my state agreed I was eligible for, because my current CPA doesn’t do this kind of tax matter

The high parameter 2026 models know the latest tax law, revealed deadlines for court rulings to me that are in fact real and new branches of service on the IRS website, or can learn while also agentically search

While many debate the utility in legal matters and 2023’s hallucination issue, the rest of us just do
