Daily is Grok 4.6 inside Hermes Harness. Same value call as your Opus 4.8, enough for the work, already paid, no Fable-style session wipe.
Open-weight is a sidecar here. Local Qwen on an 8GB card for private/thrift loops, not the coding daily. The open part I actually keep is the agent, not pretending local weights can run the shop. I use nous-portal as well if I need a specific model.
I have multiple Hermes across the house running on Windows, Mac, Ubuntu, and Omarchy they all A2A with each other across the fleet.
I got a wicked Grok Heavy Promo that I've been riding while we get all the Hermes set up. I can't even burn the tokens fast enough now it's become so effiencent.
