You know it's as efficient as can be, so all that inference you're running is being put to the best possible use. Its display is flickery only in one line, the token bar- and that reflects directly what the model is doing, so you can take its pulse, so to speak. I can tell which model I'm running from the token bar- kimi kind of speaks in blocks while GLM is all furious reasoning since the z.ai infrastructure updates.\n\nAnd you get an interface that's just really simple- it's just a terminal. It's like running postgres. You get just two lines of interface that reall count, the token bar and the thinking ticker, and you can turn those off. Token usage gets logged with every turn so you know what the burn is.\n\nThe numbers speak for themselves.\n\nOur latest release is 0.7.0 get it while it's hot!
