Hi Hacker News, I'm Harjot. I've been using Meta's Muse Code CLI daily for a few weeks now. One thing that I found difficult to handle was managing or controlling multiple sessions across multiple projects, while using the terminal for the muse CLI. Initially, I used cmux to create workspaces/groups for my different projects to group them, and then created 4 split terminals in each of those projects, that ran muse code sessions in each of them. It worked, but it was ugly. I didn't like using that. It could be because I'm not really a terminal person and would much rather prefer a proper dedic…

Essentially, Dragonfly is a LoRA fine-tune of Qwen3-VL with typed output heads that answers many questions about an image in one pass, with a probability for every answer. Unlike a VLM that generates an answer to each question, Dragonfly reads the image once and scores every question in the same pass. Questions can't see each other, so each answer is the same as asking it alone, in any order. Instead of text outputs, Dragonfly answers with calibrated probabilities for the options you give it…
