How to use thinkingmachines/Inkling with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="thinkingmachines/Inkling")

Hermes tool calling issues - terminal infinite loop

Hello, I tried inking with my Hermes agent with a simple coding task, and it seemed to get caught in an infinite loop calling the terminal tool, and seemed to have issues with other tool calls as well. I love your model, I would like to adopt it more broadly.

good afternoon. can you look at the code in the current directory, which is ~/daily-xword/, and add one small feature. have the ability to determine the difficulty rating from the telegraph puzzles on bigdave44.com , and display them on the TUI, and also pu them into the title of the pdf when created, changing "Daily Telegraph Cryptic #NNNN - Xxx DD" to "Telegraph NNNN (big_dave_rating) 22/07/2026" where big_date_rating is the difficulty rating in stars, like * for one star, sometimes they have */**, sometimes they do emoji stars.

[assistant] 12:23:47
reasoning: The user has switched the model (as noted) and wants me to work on the daily-xword project at ~/daily-xword/. They want:

Determine difficulty rating from Telegraph puzzles on bigdave44.com
Display them on the TUI
Put them in the PDF title: change "Daily Telegraph Cryptic #NNNN - Xxx DD" to "Telegraph NNNN (big_dave_rating) 22/07/2026" where big_dave_rating is stars like *, , */, emoji stars, etc.
Let me first explore the current directory to understand the codebase structure.

reasoning: The .puz file has a title field set by the fetcher. The rexword tool reads the .puz file and creates a PDF using that title. So if I change the .puz title, the PDF title will change too. Let me verify by checking rexword docs or source.

Actually, let me check the rexword source to confirm.

reasoning: No git repo. Now I need to propose the plan before making changes. Let me summarize what I found and propose the approach.

No git repo here. Here's my proposed plan — confirm before I touch anything:

Plan for bigdave44 difficulty rating feature:

Extract rating from HTML (daily_xword/fetchers/telegraph.py):
Add _extract_rating(html) that scans for patterns: Difficulty followed by stars (*, , *, etc.), emoji (⭐), or mixed like */**, 3/3.
Return a clean string like *, **, ***, /, ⭐⭐, etc.
Store rating:
In check_today(): add "rating" to the returned dict.
In fetch(): pass rating through to _build_puz().
Update .puz title (_build_puz):
Change "Daily Telegraph Cryptic #{number}" to "Telegraph {number} ({rating}) {date_str}" (only when rating found; fall back to old format if not).
Show on TUI (tui.py):
In the TodayScreen _rebuild_list(), when info exists, append the rating to the label like ... — Daily Telegraph Cryptic #NNNN (**) or just include it in the title display.
PDF title comes free since rexword reads .puz p.title.
Confirm? Or adjust anything (e.g., exact title format, which star format to prefer)?

[user] 12:26:59
looks good. i just setup a git repo so you can feel free to make the changes and then test them before committing

[assistant] 12:29:40
reasoning: The user has set up a git repo and confirmed the plan. Now I need to implement the changes. Let me proceed step by step, making the modifications and testing as I go.

Let me start by making the changes to the telegraph fetcher to extract difficulty ratings, then the TUI, then test.

Let me first implement the rating extraction in the fetcher.

tool_call: terminal {"command": "git init && git add -A && git commit -m "initial state before rating feature""}
Proceeding with changes. Starting with the telegraph fetcher.terminal

[tool] 12:29:40 — terminal
{"output": "Reinitialized existing Git repository in /home/user/daily-xword/.git/\n[main fa4a4f3] initial state before rating feature\n 1 file changed, 626 insertions(+)\n create mode 100644 .hermes/plans/2026-07-18_200622-tui-roster-globe-history.md", "exit_code": 0, "error": null}
[assistant] 12:29:40
reasoning: Now let me implement the rating extraction in telegraph.py. I'll add a method to extract difficulty ratings from the HTML.

Based on the patterns I saw:

Difficulty *** or Difficulty **
BD Rating – Difficulty *** – Enjoyment *****
Sometimes with emoji stars
Sometimes 3*/3*** in comments
I'll write a regex-based extractor that looks for these patterns.

reasoning: The patch was applied incorrectly - it seems to have inserted the new method in the middle of the old _normalize_text method, corrupting it. Let me read the file to see the damage and fix it.

reasoning: The file is badly corrupted. The _normalize_text method was broken, and the new _extract_rating was inserted incorrectly. Let me restore the file from git and redo the edit properly.

[assistant] 12:29:40
reasoning: Good, restored. Now I'll use write_file to make targeted edits properly. Let me plan the exact changes:

Add _RATING_PATTERNS after line 28
Add _extract_rating method before _find_answer_span (around line 188)
Update check_today to include rating (but we need HTML from index, not puzzle page — actually the index page might not have ratings; ratings are on the puzzle page). So for check_today, we might not have rating easily. But we can include it from the puzzle page in fetch.

Let me add the rating patterns first, then the _extract_rating method, then update fetch, check_today, and _build_puz.
