Kimi K2.6 cleans macOS app leftovers

A Reddit post shows Kimi K2.6 acting like a desktop agent that finds and removes macOS app files, including stray ~/.appname directories and other leftovers. The author says they improved the workflow by teaching the model to avoid slow recursive find calls in favor of top-level glob matching.

// ANALYSIS

The interesting part is not the uninstall task itself, but the fact that users are already turning agent behavior into durable operating knowledge. That is the difference between a flashy demo and a system people will actually keep using.

–The post shows Kimi running shell commands to clean up app artifacts across multiple locations, which is a practical test of agentic tool use
–The author explicitly fed back a performance issue, then updated the agent’s base knowledge, which is a nice example of human-in-the-loop refinement
–The mention of `~/.appname` directories is a reminder that “uninstalling” on macOS often means hunting down hidden state, not just dragging an app to the trash
–This also doubles as a soft endorsement of open, controllable agent stacks: small codebase, voice input, and editable behavior matter as much as raw model capability

LMCache is an open-source KV cache management layer that supercharges LLM inference by sharing and reusing KV caches across GPUs, CPUs, and local/remote storage layers.

LMCache optimizes large language model (LLM) inference by extracting the Key-Value (KV) cache from GPU memory and treating it as a persistent, reusable asset rather than temporary, ephemeral data. By storing the KV cache across a tiered storage hierarchy—including CPU RAM, local disks, and remote backends like Redis or S3—LMCache enables prefix reuse across different queries, sessions, and physical machines. This decouples caching from the inference engine itself, offering integrations with popular platforms like vLLM and SGLang to drastically reduce Time-to-First-Token (TTFT) and boost serving throughput.

Mosh is an open-source, model-driven application security testing harness that wraps around LLMs to automate penetration testing through discovery, planning, dockerized execution, and reporting.

Mosh (Model-driven Open Security Harness) is an open-source security testing application designed to automate the work of a security researcher. Instead of relying on raw prompts, the tool implements a multi-step workflow starting with application discovery (mapping routes and technologies), security planning (creating test hypotheses), and controlled test execution through Docker containers using engagement settings. It continuously writes structured reports and memory logs, allowing developers to safely run, review, and reproduce pen-testing results iteratively as vulnerabilities are resolved.
