'Claude Duet has won': devs say use provider-agnostic harnesses as the top model keeps rotating
p_e_cooper · x · 2026-10-28
Developer pecooper argues that if you care about your agent harness staying cutting-edge, don't lock into one provider—the company holding the #1 model rotates too often. Just use Hermes or OpenClaw.
The quoted tweet from @8teAPi offers a hands-on comparison, declaring "Claude Duet has won":
- Claude Duet is the fastest agent bot they've used
- OpenAI Dot is very slow; they often have to leave it and come back
- Grok Bot refused a video-clipping task over an IP concern, and the author doesn't want to argue about fair use
- Muse is slow too
Takeaway: every vendor bot has friction, so a provider-agnostic harness lets you switch as models rotate.
