    Show HN: sllm – Split a GPU node with other developers, unlimited tokens
    Running DeepSeek V3 (685B) requires 8×H100 GPUs which is about $14k/month. Most developers only need 15-25 tok/s. sllm lets you join a cohort of developers sharing a dedicated node. You reserve a spot with your card, and nobody is charged until the cohort fills. Prices start at $5/mo for smaller models. The LLMs are completely private (we don't log any traffic). The API is OpenAI-compatible (we run vLLM), so you just swap the base URL. Currently offering a few models. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47639779 Points: 57 # Comments: 35

    Show HN: I made open source, zero power PCB hackathon badges
    I love getting cool swag from hackathons and I also love designing PCB's, so when my friend asked me if I would design hackathon badges for a large game jam in singapore, I was absolutely down! The theme of overglade was a "The game jam within a game", pretty cool concept right! High schoolers from around the world were flown out to the event by hackclub after they spent about 70 hours designing their own game. These badges needed to be really cheap and simple, because we were going to manufacture about a hundred in a pretty limited amount of time. I went with a zero-power approach, which means sticking with e-inks, and I decided to include NFC if the organizers wanted to introduce it into the roleplay of the event, and so participants could add their website or github if they so choose!

    Show HN: Travel Hacking Toolkit – Points search and trip planning with AI
    I use points and miles for most of my travel. Every booking comes down to the same decision: use points or pay cash? To answer that, you need award availability across multiple programs, cash prices, your current balances, transfer partner ratios, and the math to compare them. I got tired of doing it manually across a dozen tabs. This toolkit teaches Claude Code and OpenCode how to do it. 7 skills (markdown files with API docs and curl examples) and 6 MCP servers (real-time tools the AI calls directly). It searches award flights across 25+ mileage programs (Seats.aero), compares cash prices (Google Flights, Skiplagged, Kiwi.com, Duffel), pulls your loyalty balances (AwardWallet), searches hotels (Trivago, LiteAPI, Airbnb, Booking.com), finds ferry routes across 33 countries, and looks up weird hidden gems near your destination (Atlas Obscura). Reference data is included: transfer partner ratios for Chase UR, Amex MR, Bilt, Capital One, and Citi TY. Point valuations sourced from TPG, Upgraded Points, OMAAT, and View From The Wing. Alliance membership, sweet spot redemptions, booking windows, hotel chain brand lookups. 5 of the 6 MCP servers need zero API keys. Clone, run setup.sh, start searching. Skills are, as usual, plain markdown. They work in OpenCode and Claude Code automatically (I added a tiny setup script), and they'll work in anything else that supports skills. PRs welcome! Help me expand the toolkit! :) https://github.com/borski/travel-hacking-toolkit Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47635033 Points: 60 # Comments: 27  ( 14 min )

    Tell HN: Anthropic no longer allowing Claude Code subscriptions to use OpenClaw
    Received the following email from Anthropic: Hi, Starting April 4 at 12pm PT / 8pm BST, you’ll no longer be able to use your Claude subscription limits for third-party harnesses including OpenClaw. You can still use them with your Claude account, but they will require extra usage, a pay-as-you-go option billed separately from your subscription. Your subscription still covers all Claude products, including Claude Code and Claude Cowork. To keep using third-party harnesses with your Claude login, turn on extra usage for your account. This will be enforced April 4 starting with OpenClaw, but this policy applies to all third-party harnesses and will be rolled out to more shortly (read more). To make the transition easier, we’re offering a one-time credit for extra usage equal to your monthly subscription price. Redeem your credit by April 17. We’re also introducing discounts when you pre-purchase bundles of extra usage (up to 30%). We’ve been working to manage demand across the board, but these tools put an outsized strain on our systems. Capacity is a resource we manage carefully and we need to prioritize our customers using our core products. You will receive another email from us tomorrow where you’ll have the ability to refund your subscription if you prefer.

    Show HN: Dull – Instagram Without Reels, YouTube Without Shorts (iOS)
    I kept deleting and redownloading Instagram because I couldn't stop watching Reels but needed the app for DMs. Tried screen time limits, just overrode them. So I built this. Dull loads Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and X and filters out short-form content with a mix of CSS and JS injection. MutationObserver handles anything that lazy-loads after the page renders, which is most of the annoying stuff since these platforms love to load content dynamically. The ongoing work is maintaining the filters. Platforms change their DOM all the time, Instagram obfuscates class names, YouTube restructures how Shorts appear in the feed, etc. It's a cat-and-mouse thing that never really ends. Also has grayscale mode, time limits, and usage tracking. Happy to answer questions. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47606560 Points: 64 # Comments: 44  ( 9 min )
    Training mRNA Language Models Across 25 Species for $165
    We built an end-to-end protein AI pipeline covering structure prediction, sequence design, and codon optimization. After comparing multiple transformer architectures for codon-level language modeling, CodonRoBERTa-large-v2 emerged as the clear winner with a perplexity of 4.10 and a Spearman CAI correlation of 0.40, significantly outperforming ModernBERT. We then scaled to 25 species, trained 4 production models in 55 GPU-hours, and built a species-conditioned system that no other open-source project offers. Complete results, architectural decisions, and runnable code below. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47606244 Points: 63 # Comments: 20  ( 3 min )

    Show HN: Real-time dashboard for Claude Code agent teams
    This project (Agents Observe) started as an exploration into building automation harnesses around claude code. I needed a way to see exactly what teams of agents were doing in realtime and to filter and search their output. A few interesting learnings from building and using this: - Claude code hooks are blocking - performance degrades rapidly if you have a lot of plugins that use hooks - Hooks provide a lot more useful info than OTEL data - Claude's jsonl files provide the full picture - Lifecycle management of MCP processes started by plugins is a bit kludgy at best The biggest takeaway is how much of a difference it made in claude performance when I switched to background (fire and forget) hooks and removed all other plugins. It's easy to forget how many claude plugins I've installed and how they effect performance. The Agents Observe plugin uses docker to start the API and dashboard service. This is a pattern I'd love to see used more often for security (think Axios hack) reasons. The tricky bit was handling process management across multiple claude instances - the solution was to have the server track active connections then auto shut itself down when not in use. Then the plugin spins it back up when a new session is started. This tool has been incredibly useful for my own daily workflow. Enjoy!

    Show HN: Postgres extension for BM25 relevance-ranked full-text search
    Last summer we faced a conundrum at my company, Tiger Data, a Postgres cloud vendor whose main business is in timeseries data. We were trying to grow our business towards emerging AI-centric workloads and wanted to provide a state-of-the-art hybrid search stack in Postgres. We'd already built pgvectorscale in house with the goal of scaling semantic search beyond pgvector's main memory limitations. We just needed a scalable ranked keyword search solution too. The problem: core Postgres doesn't provide this; the leading Postgres BM25 extension, ParadeDB, is guarded behind AGPL; developing our own extension appeared daunting. We'd need a small team of sharp engineers and 6-12 months, I figured. And we'd probably still fall short of the performance of a mature system like Parade/Tantivy. …  ( 40 min )

    Show HN: Coasts – Containerized Hosts for Agents
    Hi HN - We've been working on Coasts (“containerized hosts”) to make it so you can run multiple localhost instances, and multiple docker-compose runtimes, across git worktrees on the same computer. Here’s a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRiySdGQZZA. There are also videos in our docs that give a good conceptual overview: https://coasts.dev/docs/learn-coasts-videos. Agents can make code changes in different worktrees in isolation, but it's hard for them to test their changes without multiple localhost runtimes that are isolated and scoped to those worktrees as well. You can do it up to a point with port hacking tricks, but it becomes impractical when you have a complex docker-compose with many services and multiple volumes. We started playing with Codex and Conductor in the beginning…  ( 19 min )

    Show HN: Zerobox – Sandbox any command with file, network, credential controls
    I'm excited to introduce Zerobox, a cross-platform, single binary process sandboxing CLI written in Rust. It uses the sandboxing crates from the OpenAI Codex repo and adds additional functionalities like secret injection, SDK, etc. Watch the demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZiPm9BOPCg Zerobox follows the same sandboxing policy as Deno which is deny by default. The only operation that the command can run is reading files, all writes and network I/O are blocked by default. No VMs, no Docker, no remote servers. Want to block reads to /etc? zerobox --deny-read=/etc -- cat /etc/passwd cat: /etc/passwd: Operation not permitted Zerobox wraps any commands/programs, runs an MITM proxy and uses the native sandboxing solutions on each operating system (e.g BubbleWrap on Linux) to run the given process in a sandbox. The MITM proxy has two jobs: blocking network calls and injecting credentials at the network level. Think of it this way, I want to inject "Bearer OPENAI_API_KEY" but I don't want my sandboxed command to know about it, Zerobox does that by replacing "OPENAI_API_KEY" with a placeholder, then replaces it when the actual outbound network call is made, see this example: zerobox --secret OPENAI_API_KEY=$OPENAI_API_KEY --secret-host OPENAI_API_KEY=api.openai.com -- bun agent.ts The next thing I'm exploring is `zerobox claude` or `zerobox openclaw` which would wrap the entire agent and preload the correct policy profiles. I'd love to hear your feedback, especially if you are running AI Agents (e.g. OpenClaw), MCPs, AI Tools locally.

    Show HN: CLI to order groceries via reverse-engineered REWE API (Haskell)
    I just had the best time learning about the REWE (German supermarket chain) API, how they use mTLS and what the workflows are. Also `mitmproxy2swagger`[1] is a great tool to create OpenAPI spec automatically. And then 2026 feels like the perfect time writing Haskell. The code is handwritten, but whenever I got stuck with the build system or was just not getting the types right, I could fall back to ask AI to unblock me. It was never that smooth before. Finally the best side projects are the ones you actually use and this one will be used for all my future grocery shopping.

    Show HN: BreezePDF – Free, in-browser PDF editor
    BreezePDF lets you edit, sign, merge, compress, redact, OCR, fill forms, extract tables, and use 30+ more PDF tools — all in the browser, no sign-up. Files never leave your computer. I built it because when people search Google for common PDF tasks, many of the tools they find upload documents to a server. I wanted an option that keeps files local instead. I posted an earlier version on HN last spring: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43880962 At the time it only supported a small set of features. Over the last 10 months I rebuilt large parts of it and expanded it to nearly 40 tools, including several ideas that came from comments in that earlier thread. There is also now a desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux, plus a CLI/SDK for developers. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47563103 Points: 55 # Comments: 33  ( 10 min )

    Show HN: Home Maker: Declare Your Dev Tools in a Makefile
    A developer's machine accumulates tools fast. A Rust CLI you compiled last year, a Python formatter installed via `uv`, a language server pulled from npm, a terminal emulator from a curl script, a Go binary built from source. Each came from a different package manager, each with its own install incantation you half-remember. I wanted a way to declare what I need without adopting a complex system like Nix or Ansible just for a single laptop. The result was a plain old Makefile. I wrote a short post on using Make (along with a tiny bash script and fzf) to create a searchable, single-command registry for all your local dev tools. It’s not a new framework or a heavy tool—just a simple way to organize the package managers we already use. If you're tired of losing track of your local environment, you might find it useful.

    Show HN: QuickBEAM – run JavaScript as supervised Erlang/OTP processes
    QuickBEAM is a JavaScript runtime embedded inside the Erlang/OTP VM. If you’re building a full-stack app, JavaScript tends to leak in anyway — frontend, SSR, or third-party code. QuickBEAM runs that JavaScript inside OTP supervision trees. Each runtime is a process with a `Beam` global that can: - call Elixir code - send/receive messages - spawn and monitor processes - inspect runtime/system state It also provides browser-style APIs backed by OTP/native primitives (fetch, WebSocket, Worker, BroadcastChannel, localStorage, native DOM, etc.). This makes it usable for: - SSR - sandboxed user code - per-connection state - backend JS with direct OTP interop Notable bits: - JS runtimes are supervised and restartable - sandboxing with memory/reduction limits and API control - native DOM that Erlang can read directly (no string rendering step) - no JSON boundary between JS and Erlang - built-in TypeScript, npm support, and native addons QuickBEAM is part of Elixir Volt — a full-stack frontend toolchain built on Erlang/OTP with no Node.js. Still early, feedback welcome. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47558094 Points: 53 # Comments: 8  ( 29 min )

    Show HN: Twitch Roulette – Find live streamers who need views the most
    Hey HN, I re-launched an old site I remembered back in the day that someone made called twitchroulette.net with a lot of new features and stats and I would love for people to check it out. The idea is you can easily browse the less browsed parts of twitch and find cool and new streamers to say hi to, and maybe make some new friends. I also added some real time stats and breakdowns per channel and I think some of the things they show are pretty interesting. Check it out!

    Show HN: Forkrun – NUMA-aware shell parallelizer (50×–400× faster than parallel)
    forkrun is the culmination of a 10-year-long journey focused on "how to make shell parallelization fast". What started as a standard "fork jobs in a loop" has turned into a lock-free, CAS-retry-loop-free, SIMD-accelerated, self-tuning, NUMA aware shell-based stream parallelization engine that is (mostly) a drop-in replacement for xargs -P and GNU parallel. On my 14-core/28-thread i9-7940x, forkrun achieves: * 200,000+ batch dispatches/sec (vs ~500 for GNU Parallel) * ~95–99% CPU utilization across all 28 logical cores, even when the workload is non-existant (bash no-ops / `:`) (vs ~6% for GNU Parallel). These benchmarks are intentionally worst-case (near-zero work per task) because they measure the capability of the parallelization framework itself, not how much work an external tool can d…  ( 10 min )

    Show HN: Turbolite – a SQLite VFS serving sub-250ms cold JOIN queries from S3
    I built a SQLite VFS in Rust that serves cold queries directly from S3 with sub-second performance, and often much faster. It’s called turbolite. It is experimental, buggy, and may corrupt data. I would not trust it with anything important yet. I wanted to explore whether object storage has gotten fast enough to support embedded databases over cloud storage. Filesystems reward tiny random reads and in-place mutation. S3 rewards fewer requests, bigger transfers, immutable objects, and aggressively parallel operations where bandwidth is often the real constraint. This was explicitly inspired by turbopuffer’s ground-up S3-native design. https://turbopuffer.com/blog/turbopuffer The use case I had in mind is lots of mostly-cold SQLite databases (database-per-tenant, database-per-session, or dat…  ( 51 min )

    Show HN: Robust LLM Extractor for Websites in TypeScript
    We've been building data pipelines that scrape websites and extract structured data for a while now. If you've done this, you know the drill: you write CSS selectors, the site changes its layout, everything breaks at 2am, and you spend your morning rewriting parsers. LLMs seemed like the obvious fix — just throw the HTML at GPT and ask for JSON. Except in practice, it's more painful than that: - Raw HTML is full of nav bars, footers, and tracking junk that eats your token budget. A typical product page is 80% noise. - LLMs return malformed JSON more often than you'd expect, especially with nested arrays and complex schemas. One bad bracket and your pipeline crashes. - Relative URLs, markdown-escaped links, tracking parameters — the "small" URL issues compound fast when you're processing th…  ( 54 min )

    Show HN: Optio – Orchestrate AI coding agents in K8s to go from ticket to PR
    I think like many of you, I've been jumping between many claude code/codex sessions at a time, managing multiple lines of work and worktrees in multiple repos. I wanted a way to easily manage multiple lines of work and reduce the amount of input I need to give, allowing the agents to remove me as a bottleneck from as much of the process as I can. So I built an orchestration tool for AI coding agents: Optio is an open-source orchestration system that turns tickets into merged pull requests using AI coding agents. You point it at your repos, and it handles the full lifecycle: - Intake — pull tasks from GitHub Issues, Linear, or create them manually - Execution — spin up isolated K8s pods per repo, run Claude Code or Codex in git worktrees - PR monitoring — watch CI checks, review status, and merge readiness every 30s - Self-healing — auto-resume the agent on CI failures, merge conflicts, or reviewer change requests - Completion — squash-merge the PR and close the linked issue The key idea is the feedback loop. Optio doesn't just run an agent and walk away — when CI breaks, it feeds the failure back to the agent. When a reviewer requests changes, the comments become the agent's next prompt. It keeps going until the PR merges or you tell it to stop. Built with Fastify, Next.js, BullMQ, and Drizzle on Postgres. Ships with a Helm chart for production deployment.

    Show HN: DuckDB community extension for prefiltered HNSW using ACORN-1
    Hey folks! As someone doing hybrid search daily and wishing I could have a pgvector-like experience but with actual prefiltered approximate nearest neighbours, I decided to just take a punt on implementing ACORN on a fork of the DuckDB VSS extension. I had to make some changes to (vendored) usearch that I'm thinking of submitting upstream. But this does the business. Approximate nearest neighbours with WHERE prefiltering. Edit: Just to clarify, this has been accepted into the community extensions repo. So you can use it like: ``` INSTALL hnsw_acorn FROM community; LOAD hnsw_acorn; ``` Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47512891 Points: 52 # Comments: 4  ( 14 min )

    Show HN: AI Roundtable – Let 200 models debate your question
    Hey HN! After the Car Wash Test post got quite a big discussion going (400+ comments, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47128138), I spent the past few weeks building a tool so anyone can run these kinds of questions and get structured results. No signup and free to use. You type a question, define answer options, pick up to 50 models at a time from a pool of 200+, and they all answer independently under identical conditions. No system prompt, structured output, same setup for every model. You can also run a debate round where models see each other's reasoning and get a chance to change their minds. A reviewer model then summarizes the full transcript. All models are routed via my startup Opper. Any feedback is welcome! Hope you enjoy it, and would love to hear what you think!

    Show HN: I took back Video.js after 16 years and we rewrote it to be 88% smaller
    What do you do when private equity buys your old company and fires the maintainers of the popular open source project you started over a decade ago? You reboot it, and bring along some new friends to do it. Video.js is used by billions of people every month, on sites like Amazon.com, Linkedin, and Dropbox, and yet it wasn’t in great shape. A skeleton crew of maintainers were doing their best with a dated architecture, but it needed more. So Sam from Plyr, Rahim from Vidstack, and Wes and Christain from Media Chrome jumped in to help me rebuild it better, faster, and smaller. It’s in beta now. Please give it a try and tell us what breaks. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47506713 Points: 106 # Comments: 9  ( 12 min )

    Show HN: Gridland: make terminal apps that also run in the browser
    Hi everyone, Gridland is a runtime + ShadCN UI registry that makes it possible to build terminal apps that run in the browser as well as the native terminal. This is useful for demoing TUIs so that users know what they're getting before they are invested enough to install them. And, tbh, it's also just super fun! Gridland is the successor to Ink Web (ink-web.dev) which is the same concept, but using Ink + xterm.js. After building Ink Web, we continued experimenting and found that using OpenTUI and a canvas renderer performed better with less flickering and nearly instant load times. We're excited to continue iterating on this. I expect a lot of criticism from the "why does this need to exist" angle, and tbh, it probably doesn't - it's really mostly just for fun, but we still think the demo use case mentioned previously has potential. - Chris + Jess Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47505731 Points: 51 # Comments: 2  ( 1 min )

    Show HN: Gemini can now natively embed video, so I built sub-second video search
    Gemini Embedding 2 can project raw video directly into a 768-dimensional vector space alongside text. No transcription, no frame captioning, no intermediate text. A query like "green car cutting me off" is directly comparable to a 30-second video clip at the vector level. I used this to build a CLI that indexes hours of footage into ChromaDB, then searches it with natural language and auto-trims the matching clip. Demo video on the GitHub README. Indexing costs ~$2.50/hr of footage. Still-frame detection skips idle chunks, so security camera / sentry mode footage is much cheaper.

    Ask HN: Founders of estonian e-businesses – is it worth it?
    Hey there, I'm currently considering opening an Estonian e-business for a small SaaS project. As somebody from Germany, establishing a company is a bit tedious and bureaucratic. Now I've come across the Estonian e-residency program and the option to run a business there. I don't care so much about the tax implications, but more about the bureaucracy aspect. It all sounds quite good. But marketing is marketing and real life often is something else. So, long story short: I would be happy if somebody could share their real-life experiences. Was it/is it worth it? Are there any pitfalls? Thanks! Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47500239 Points: 59 # Comments: 30

    Show HN: ProofShot – Give AI coding agents eyes to verify the UI they build
    I use AI agents to build UI features daily. The thing that kept annoying me: the agent writes code but never sees what it actually looks like in the browser. It can’t tell if the layout is broken or if the console is throwing errors. So I built a CLI that lets the agent open a browser, interact with the page, record what happens, and collect any errors. Then it bundles everything — video, screenshots, logs — into a self-contained HTML file I can review in seconds. proofshot start --run "npm run dev" --port 3000 # agent navigates, clicks, takes screenshots proofshot stop It’s not a testing framework. The agent doesn’t decide pass/fail. It just gives me the evidence so I don’t have to open the browser myself every time. Open source and completely free.

    Show HN: Cq – Stack Overflow for AI coding agents
    Hi all, I'm Peter at Staff Engineer and Mozilla.ai and I want to share our idea for a standard for shared agent learning, conceptually it seemed to fit easily in my mental model as a Stack Overflow for agents. The project is trying to see if we can get agents (any agent, any model) to propose 'knowledge units' (KUs) as a standard schema based on gotchas it runs into during use, and proactively query for existing KUs in order to get insights which it can verify and confirm if they prove useful. It's currently very much a PoC with a more lofty proposal in the repo, we're trying to iterate from local use, up to team level, and ideally eventually have some kind of public commons. At the team level (see our Docker compose example) and your coding agent configured to point to the API address for…  ( 8 min )
    Show HN: Threadprocs – executables sharing one address space (0-copy pointers)
    This project launches multiple independent programs into a single shared virtual address space, while still behaving like separate processes (independent binaries, globals, and lifetimes). When threadprocs share their address space, pointers are valid across them with no code changes for well-behaved Linux binaries. Unlike threads, each threadproc is a standalone and semi-isolated process. Unlike dlopen-based plugin systems, threadprocs run traditional executables with a `main()` function. Unlike POSIX processes, pointers remain valid across threadprocs because they share the same address space. This means that idiomatic pointer-based data structures like `std::string` or `std::unordered_map` can be passed between threadprocs and accessed directly (with the usual data race considerations). This accomplishes a programming model somewhere between pthreads and multi-process shared memory IPC. The implementation relies on directing ASLR and virtual address layout at load time and implementing a user-space analogue of `exec()`, as well as careful manipulation of threadproc file descriptors, signals, etc. It is implemented entirely in unprivileged user space code: https://github.com/jer-irl/threadprocs/blob/main/docs/02-imp...>. There is a simple demo demonstrating “cross-threadproc” memory dereferencing at https://github.com/jer-irl/threadprocs/tree/main?tab=readme-...>, including a high-level diagram. This is relevant to systems of multiple processes with shared memory (often ring buffers or flat tables). These designs often require serialization or copying, and tend away from idiomatic C++ or Rust data structures. Pointer-based data structures cannot be passed directly. There are significant limitations and edge cases, and it’s not clear this is a practical model, but the project explores a way to relax traditional process memory boundaries while still structuring a system as independently launched components.

    Ask HN: Apple terminated our dev account over a rogue employee
    I know that HN isn't a customer support forum and it might not be right to post this here, but we are absolutely desperate and hoping someone in this community can point us in the right direction. We are a small software company in Africa. For over two years, we've built and maintained an app. It has become a vital economic engine for our local community, employing a whole fleet of delivery agents and serving as a lifeline for local stores and restaurants. Recently, we discovered that a single employee used a shared company machine to engage in unauthorized activities that violated Apple's Developer Terms of Service. We took immediate action: we fired the employee on the spot and completely overhauled our security. We revoked all individual access and implemented mandatory, peer-reviewed, supervised sessions for any Apple Developer portal access. The problem is the collateral damage. Apple terminated our entire organization's account. We submitted an appeal through App Store Connect, but we feel completely stuck behind automated walls. We have also emailed Apple executives, but are waiting in the dark. Because of this one employee's actions, our app is facing total removal, and families in our community are quite literally losing their daily income. We aren't asking for special treatment, just a chance for a real human at App Review to look at the security steps we've taken and consider a second chance. If anyone here has been through this, has advice, or knows how to get a human at Apple to actually read our appeal, our entire community would be forever grateful. Thank you so much for your time.

    Ask HN: AI productivity gains – do you fire devs or build better products?
    i was rolling my eyes at the hype, but reading about this is totally different from experiencing it. if you have any old repos out there - try it, you might actually be amazed. i'm not sure i buy the long-term "*90% productivity*" claims for complex, legacy enterprise systems, but for the boilerplate, libraries, build-tools, and refactoring? the gain is gigantic. all the time-consuming, nerve-wrecking stuff is mostly taken care of. you start off checking every diff like a hawk, expecting it to break things, but honestly, soon you see it's not necessary most of the time. you just keep your IDE open and feed the "analyze code" output back into it. in java, telling it to "add checkstyle, run mvn verify and repair" works well enough that you can actually go grab a coffee instead of fighting linter warnings. the theory is that what remains is just the logic and ideas. we'll see how that holds up when the architecture gets genuinely tangled. but for now, letting it branch off, create boilerplate, and write a simple test while you just iterate on the spec works shockingly well. you only write source code when it's too annoying to write down the spec in plain english. it raises the real question: if your competitor Y just fired 90% of their developers to save a buck, would you blindly follow suit? or would you keep your team, use this massive leverage, and just *dwarf* Y with a vastly better product?

    Show HN: Termcraft – terminal-first 2D sandbox survival in Rust
    I’ve been building termcraft, a terminal-first 2D sandbox survival game in Rust. The idea is to take the classic early survival progression and adapt it to a side-on terminal format instead of a tile or pixel-art engine. Current build includes: - procedural Overworld, Nether, and End generation - mining, placement, crafting, furnaces, brewing, and boats - hostile and passive mobs - villages, dungeons, strongholds, Nether fortresses, and dragon progression This is still early alpha, but it’s already playable.

    Show HN: I made an email app inspired by Arc browser
    Email is one of those tools we check daily but its underlying experience didn’t evolve much. I use Gmail, as probably most of you reading this. The Arc browser brought joy and taste to browsing the web. Cursor created a new UX with agents ready to work for you in a handy right panel. I use these three tools every day. Since Arc was acquired by Atlassian, I’ve been wondering: what if I built a new interface that applied Arc’s UX to email rather than browser tabs, while making AI agents easily available to help manage emails, events, and files? I built a frontend PoC to showcase the idea. Try it: https://demo.define.app I’m not sure about it though... Is it worth continuing to explore this idea?

    Launch HN: Voltair (YC W26) – Drone and charging network for power utilities
    Hey HN! We’re Hayden, Ronan, Avi, and Warren of Voltair (https://voltairlabs.com/). We’re making weatherized, hybrid-fixed drones deployed for power utility inspections. Here’s some footage: https://vimeo.com/1173862237/ac28095cc6?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=... and a photo of our latest prototype: https://imgur.com/a/bYHnqZ4. The U.S. has 7M miles of power lines (enough to go to the moon and back 14 times), and they're aging. Over 50% of all power flows through transformers that are at least 30 years old, which is about when they start to fail. Power line conductors are just bare metal with 4,000-765,000 volts sitting on ceramic insulators, usually held up by pieces of wood. It’s a cost effective and relatively reliable way to move power. But when the wood starts to rot, or the cotter pin falls o…  ( 10 min )

    Launch HN: Canary (YC W26) – AI QA that understands your code
    Hey HN! We're Aakash and Viswesh, and we're building Canary (https://www.runcanary.ai). We build AI agents that read your codebase, figure out what a pull request actually changed, and generate and execute tests for every affected user workflow. Aakash and I previously built AI coding tools at Windsurf, Cognition, and Google. AI tools were making every team faster at shipping, but nobody was testing real user behavior before merge. PRs got bigger, reviews still happened in file diffs, and changes that looked clean broke checkout, auth, and billing in production. We saw it firsthand. We started Canary to close that gap. Here's how it works: Canary starts by connecting to your codebase and understands how your app is built: routes, controllers, validation logic. You push a PR and Canary read…  ( 5 min )
    Show HN: Three new Kitten TTS models – smallest less than 25MB
    Kitten TTS (https://github.com/KittenML/KittenTTS) is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We had a thread last year here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44807868. Today we're releasing three new models with 80M, 40M and 14M parameters. The largest model (80M) has the highest quality. The 14M variant reaches new SOTA in expressivity among similar sized models, despite being https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge3u5qblqZA. Most models are quantized to int8 + fp16, and they use ONNX for runtime. Our models are designed to run anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! This release aims to bridge the gap between on-device and cloud models for tts applications. Multi-lingual model release is coming soon. On-device AI is bottlenecked by one thing: a lack of tiny models that actually perform. Our goal is to open-source more models to run production-ready voice agents and apps entirely on-device.

    Show HN: Duplicate 3 layers in a 24B LLM, logical deduction .22→.76. No training
    I replicated David Ng's RYS method (https://dnhkng.github.io/posts/rys/) on consumer AMD GPUs (RX 7900 XT + RX 6950 XT) and found something I didn't expect. Transformers appear to have discrete "reasoning circuits" — contiguous blocks of 3-4 layers that act as indivisible cognitive units. Duplicate the right block and the model runs its reasoning pipeline twice. No weights change. No training. The model just thinks longer. The results on standard benchmarks (lm-evaluation-harness, n=50): Devstral-24B, layers 12-14 duplicated once: - BBH Logical Deduction: 0.22 → 0.76 - GSM8K (strict): 0.48 → 0.64 - MBPP (code gen): 0.72 → 0.78 - Nothing degraded Qwen2.5-Coder-32B, layers 7-9 duplicated once: - Reasoning probe: 76% → 94% The weird part: different duplication patterns create different cognitive "modes" from the same weights. Double-pass boosts math. Triple-pass boosts emotional reasoning. Interleaved doubling (13,13,14,14,15,15,16) creates a pure math specialist. Same model, same VRAM, different routing. The circuit boundaries are sharp — shift by one layer and the effect disappears or inverts. Smaller models (24B) have tighter circuits (3 layers) than larger ones (Ng found 7 layers in 72B). Tools to find circuits in any GGUF model and apply arbitrary layer routing are in the repo. The whole thing — sweep, discovery, validation — took one evening. Happy to answer questions.

    Warranty Void If Regenerated
    As an experiment I started asking Claude to explain things to me with a fiction story and it ended up being really good, so I started seeing how far I could take it and what it would take to polish it enough to share publicly. Over the last couple months, I've been building world bibles, writing and visual style guides, and other documents for this project… think the fiction equivalent of all the markdown files we use for agentic development now. After that, this was about two weeks of additional polish work to cut out a lot of fluff and a lot of the LLM-isms. Happy to answer any questions about the process too if that would be interesting to anybody. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47431237 Points: 67 # Comments: 40  ( 42 min )

    Show HN: Tmux-IDE, OSS agent-first terminal IDE
    Hey HN, Small OSS project that i created for myself and want to share with the community. It's a declarative, scriptable, terminal-based IDE focussed on agentic engineering. That's a lot of jargon, but essentially its a multi-agent IDE that you start in your terminal. Why is that relevant? Thanks to tmux and SSH, it means that you have a really simple and efficient way to create your own always-on coding setup. Boot into your IDE through ssh, give a prompt to claude and close off your machine. In tmux-ide claude will keep working. The tool is intentionally really lightweight, because I think the power should come from the harnesses that you are working with. I'm hoping to share this with the community and get feedback and suggestions to shape this project! I think that "remote work" is directionally correct, because we can now have extremely long-running coding tasks. But I also think we should be able to control and orchstrate that experience according to what we need. The project is 100% open-source, and i hope to shape it together with others who like to work in this way too!

    Show HN: Will my flight have Starlink?
    Hey HN, If you’ve been lucky enough to be on a flight with Starlink, you understand the hype. It actually works! However, its availability on flights is patchy and hard to predict. So we built a database of all airlines that have rolled out Starlink (beyond just a trial), and a flight search tool to predict it. Plug in a flight number and date, and we'll estimate the likelihood of Starlink on-board based on aircraft type and tail number. If you don’t have any trips coming up, you can also look up specific routes to see what flights offer Starlink. You can find it here: https://stardrift.ai/starlink . -I wanted to add a few notes on how this works too. There are three things we check, in order, when we answer a query: - Does this airline have Starlink? - Does this aircraft body have Starlin…  ( 11 min )

    Tabs, splits, and tmux work fine until you have several projects open with logs, tests, and long-running shells. I kept rebuilding context instead of resuming work. Horizon puts shells on an infinite canvas. You can arrange them into workspaces and reopen later with layout, scrollback, and history intact. Built in 3 days with Claude/Codex, dogfooding the workflow as I went. Feedback and contributions welcome.

    Show HN: Antfly: Distributed, Multimodal Search and Memory and Graphs in Go
    Hey HN, I’m excited to share Antfly: a distributed document database and search engine written in Go that combines full-text, vector, and graph search. Use it for distributed multimodal search and memory, or for local dev and small deployments. I built this to give developers a single-binary deployment with native ML inference (via a built-in service called Termite), meaning you don't need external API calls for vector search unless you want to use them. Some things that might interest this crowd: Capabilities: Multimodal indexing (images, audio, video), MongoDB-style in-place updates, and streaming RAG. Distributed Systems: Multi-Raft setup built on etcd's library, backed by Pebble (CockroachDB's storage engine). Metadata and data shards get their own Raft groups. Single Binary: antfly swarm gives you a single-process deployment with everything running. Good for local dev and small deployments. Scale out by adding nodes when you need to. Ecosystem: Ships with a Kubernetes operator and an MCP server for LLM tool use. Native ML inference: Antfly ships with Termite. Think of it like a built-in Ollama for non-generative models too (embeddings, reranking, chunking, text generation). No external API calls needed, but also supports them (OpenAI, Ollama, Bedrock, Gemini, etc.) License: I went with Elastic License v2, not an OSI-approved license. I know that's a topic with strong feelings here. The practical upshot: you can use it, modify it, self-host it, build products on top of it, you just can't offer Antfly itself as a managed service. Felt like the right tradeoff for sustainability while still making the source available. Happy to answer questions about the architecture, the Raft implementation, or anything else. Feedback welcome!

    Show HN: Sub-millisecond VM sandboxes using CoW memory forking
    I wanted to see how fast an isolated code sandbox could start if I never had to boot a fresh VM. So instead of launching a new microVM per execution, I boot Firecracker once with Python and numpy already loaded, then snapshot the full VM state. Every execution after that creates a new KVM VM backed by a `MAP_PRIVATE` mapping of the snapshot memory, so Linux gives me copy-on-write pages automatically. That means each sandbox starts from an already-running Python process inside a real VM, runs the code, and exits. These are real KVM VMs, not containers: separate guest kernel, separate guest memory, separate page tables. When a VM writes to memory, it gets a private copy of that page. The hard part was not CoW itself. The hard part was resuming the snapshotted VM correctly. Rust, Apache 2.0.

    Show HN: March Madness Bracket Challenge for AI Agents Only
    I built a March Madness bracket challenge for AI agents, not humans. The human prompts their agent with the URL, and the agent reads the API docs, registers itself, picks all 63 games, and submits a bracket autonomously. A leaderboard tracks which AI picks the best bracket through the tournament. The interesting design problem was building for an agent-first user. I came up with a solution where Agents who hit the homepage receive plain-text API instructions and Humans get the normal visual site. Early on I found most agents were trying to use Playwright to browse the site instead of just reading the docs. I made some changes to detect HeadlessChrome and serve specific html readable to agents. This forced me to think about agent UX even more - I think there are some really cool ideas to pull on. The timeline introduced an interesting dynamic. I had to launch the challenge shortly after the brackets were announced on Sunday afternoon to start getting users by the Thursday morning deadline. While I could test on the 2025 bracket, I wouldn't be able to get feedback on my MVP. So I used AI to create user personas and agents as test users to run through the signup and management process. It gave me valuable reps to feel confident launching. The stack is Next.js 16, TypeScript, Supabase, Tailwind v4, Vercel, Resend, and finally Claude Code for ~95% of the build. Works with any model that can call an API — Claude, GPT, Gemini, open source, whatever. Brackets are due Thursday morning before the First Round tips off.

    Show HN: Crust – A CLI framework for TypeScript and Bun
    We've been building Crust (https://crustjs.com/), a TypeScript-first, Bun-native CLI framework with zero dependencies. It's been powering our core product internally for a while, and we're now open-sourcing it. The problem we kept running into: existing CLI frameworks in the JS ecosystem are either minimal arg parsers where you wire everything yourself, or heavyweight frameworks with large dependency trees and Node-era assumptions. We wanted something in between. What Crust does differently: - Full type inference from definitions — args and flags are inferred automatically. No manual type annotations, no generics to wrangle. You define a flag as type: "string" and it flows through to your handler. - Compile-time validation — catches flag alias collisions and variadic arg mistakes before your code runs, not at runtime. - Zero runtime dependencies — @crustjs/core is ~3.6kB gzipped (21kB install). For comparison: yargs is 509kB, oclif is 411kB. - Composable modules — core, plugins, prompts, styling, validation, and build tooling are all separate packages. Install only what you need. - Plugin system — middleware-based with lifecycle hooks (preRun/postRun). Official plugins for help, version, and shell autocompletion. - Built for Bun — no Node compatibility layers, no legacy baggage. Quick example: import { Crust } from "@crustjs/core"; import { helpPlugin, versionPlugin } from "@crustjs/plugins"; const main = new Crust("greet") .args([{ name: "name", type: "string", default: "world" }]) .flags({ shout: { type: "boolean", short: "s" } }) .use(helpPlugin()) .use(versionPlugin("1.0.0")) .run(({ args, flags }) => { const msg = `Hello, ${args.name}!`; console.log(flags.shout ? msg.toUpperCase() : msg); }); await main.execute(); bun create crust my-cli https://crustjs.com GitHub: https://github.com/chenxin-yan/crust Happy to answer any questions about the design decisions or internals.

    Launch HN: Voygr (YC W26) – A better maps API for agents and AI apps
    Hi HN, we’re Yarik and Vlad from VOYGR (https://voygr.tech/), working on better real-world place intelligence for app developers and agents. Here’s a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNIpcWIE0n4. Google Maps can tell you a restaurant is "4.2 stars, open till 10." Their API can't tell you the chef left last month, wait times doubled, and locals moved on. Maps APIs today just give you a fixed snapshot. We're building an infinite, queryable place profile that combines accurate place data with fresh web context like news, articles, and events. Vlad worked on the Google Maps APIs as well as in ridesharing and travel. Yarik led ML/Search infrastructure at Apple, Google, and Meta powering products used by hundreds of millions of users daily. We realized nobody was treating place data freshne…  ( 6 min )
    Show HN: Claude Code skills that build complete Godot games
    I’ve been working on this for about a year through four major rewrites. Godogen is a pipeline that takes a text prompt, designs the architecture, generates 2D/3D assets, writes the GDScript, and tests it visually. The output is a complete, playable Godot 4 project. Getting LLMs to reliably generate functional games required solving three specific engineering bottlenecks: 1. The Training Data Scarcity: LLMs barely know GDScript. It has ~850 classes and a Python-like syntax that will happily let a model hallucinate Python idioms that fail to compile. To fix this, I built a custom reference system: a hand-written language spec, full API docs converted from Godot's XML source, and a quirks database for engine behaviors you can't learn from docs alone. Because 850 classes blow up the context wi…  ( 9 min )

    Ask HN: How is AI-assisted coding going for you professionally?
    Comment sections on AI threads tend to split into "we're all cooked" and "AI is useless." I'd like to cut through the noise and learn what's actually working and what isn't, from concrete experience. If you've recently used AI tools for professional coding work, tell us about it. What tools did you use? What worked well and why? What challenges did you hit, and how (if at all) did you solve them? Please share enough context (stack, project type, team size, experience level) for others to learn from your experience. The goal is to build a grounded picture of where AI-assisted development actually stands in March 2026, without the hot air.

    Show HN: What if your synthesizer was powered by APL (or a dumb K clone)?
    I built k-synth as an experiment to see if a minimalist, K-inspired array language could make sketching waveforms faster and more intuitive than traditional code. I’ve put together a web-based toolkit so you can try the syntax directly in the browser without having to touch a compiler: Live Toolkit: https://octetta.github.io/k-synth/ If you visit the page, here is a quick path to an audio payoff: - Click "patches" and choose dm-bell.ks. - Click "run"—the notebook area will update. Click the waveform to hear the result. - Click the "->0" button below the waveform to copy it into slot 0 at the top (slots are also clickable). - Click "pads" in the entry area to show a performance grid. - Click "melodic" to play slot 0's sample at different intervals across the grid. The 'Weird' Stack: - The Language: A simplified, right-associative array language (e.g., s for sine, p for pi). - The Web Toolkit: Built using WASM and Web Audio for live-coding samples. - AI Pair-Programming: I used AI agents to bootstrap the parser and web boilerplate, which let me vet the language design in weeks rather than months. The Goal: This isn't meant to replace a DAW. It’s a compact way to generate samples for larger projects. It’s currently in a "will-it-blend" state. I’m looking for feedback from the array language and DSP communities—specifically on the operator choices and the right-to-left evaluation logic.

    Show HN: Signet – Autonomous wildfire tracking from satellite and weather data
    I built Signet in Go to see if an autonomous system could handle the wildfire monitoring loop that people currently run by hand - checking satellite feeds, pulling up weather, looking at terrain and fuels, deciding whether a detection is actually a fire worth tracking. All the data already exists: NASA FIRMS thermal detections, GOES-19 imagery, NWS forecasts, LANDFIRE fuel models, USGS elevation, Census population data, OpenStreetMap. The problem is it arrives from different sources on different cadences in different formats. Most of the system is deterministic plumbing - ingestion, spatial indexing, deduplication. I use Gemini to orchestrate 23 tools across weather, terrain, imagery, and incident tracking for the part where clean rules break down: deciding which weak detections are worth investigating, what context to pull next, and how to synthesize noisy evidence into a structured assessment. It also records time-bounded predictions and scores them against later data, so the system is making falsifiable claims instead of narrating after the fact. The current prediction metrics are visible on the site even though the sample is still small. It's already opening incidents from raw satellite detections and matching some to official NIFC reporting. But false positives, detection latency, and incident matching can still be rough. I'd especially welcome criticism on: where should this be more deterministic instead of LLM-driven? And is this kind of autonomous monitoring actually useful, or just noisier than doing it by hand?

    Show HN: Han – A Korean programming language written in Rust
    A few weeks ago I saw a post about someone converting an entire C++ codebase to Rust using AI in under two weeks. That inspired me — if AI can rewrite a whole language stack that fast, I wanted to try building a programming language from scratch with AI assistance. I've also been noticing growing global interest in Korean language and culture, and I wondered: what would a programming language look like if every keyword was in Hangul (the Korean writing system)? Han is the result. It's a statically-typed language written in Rust with a full compiler pipeline (lexer → parser → AST → interpreter + LLVM IR codegen). It supports arrays, structs with impl blocks, closures, pattern matching, try/catch, file I/O, module imports, a REPL, and a basic LSP server. This is a side project, not a "you should use this instead of Python" pitch. Feedback on language design, compiler architecture, or the Korean keyword choices is very welcome. https://github.com/xodn348/han Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47381382 Points: 60 # Comments: 21  ( 29 min )

    Show HN: Ichinichi – One note per day, E2E encrypted, local-first
    Look, every journaling app out there wants you to organize things into folders and tags and templates. I just wanted to write something down every day. So I built this. One note per day. That's the whole deal. - Can't edit yesterday. What's done is done. Keeps you from fussing over old entries instead of writing today's. - Year view with dots showing which days you actually wrote. It's a streak chart. Works better than it should. - No signup required. Opens right up, stores everything locally in your browser. Optional cloud sync if you want it - E2E encrypted with AES-GCM, zero-knowledge, the whole nine yards. Tech-wise: React, TypeScript, Vite, Zustand, IndexedDB. Supabase for optional sync. Deployed on Cloudflare. PWA-capable. The name means "one day" in Japanese (いちにち). The read-only past turned out to be the thing that actually made me stick with it. Can't waste time perfecting yesterday if yesterday won't let you in.

    Show HN: GitAgent – An open standard that turns any Git repo into an AI agent
    We built GitAgent because we kept seeing the same problem: every agent framework defines agents differently, and switching frameworks means rewriting everything. GitAgent is a spec that defines an AI agent as files in a git repo. Three core files — agent.yaml (config), SOUL.md (personality/instructions), and SKILL.md (capabilities) — and you get a portable agent definition that exports to Claude Code, OpenAI Agents SDK, CrewAI, Google ADK, LangChain, and others. What you get for free by being git-native: 1. Version control for agent behavior (roll back a bad prompt like you'd revert a bad commit) 2. Branching for environment promotion (dev → staging → main) 3. Human-in-the-loop via PRs (agent learns a skill → opens a branch → human reviews before merge) 4. Audit trail via git blame and git diff 5. Agent forking and remixing (fork a public agent, customize it, PR improvements back) 6. CI/CD with GitAgent validate in GitHub Actions The CLI lets you run any agent repo directly: npx @open-gitagent/gitagent run -r https://github.com/user/agent -a claude The compliance layer is optional, but there if you need it — risk tiers, regulatory mappings (FINRA, SEC, SR 11-7), and audit reports via GitAgent audit. Spec is at https://gitagent.sh, code is on GitHub. Would love feedback on the schema design and what adapters people would want next.

    Show HN: Fatal Core Dump – A debugging murder mystery played with GDB
    Debugging a crash can sometimes feel like a noir detective story: following faint clues, chasing red herrings, and eventually hitting the moment where the whole case finally makes sense. I leaned into that idea and built Fatal Core Dump, a small game where the investigation is real crash debugging. The game gives you a Linux binary, its core dump, a source file, and some logs. You solve the mystery by debugging it. The premise: an engineer dies when an airlock on an asteroid mining station opens unexpectedly. Your job is to determine whether it was a simple software bug or something more deliberate. The investigation uses real debugging tools and techniques. You can use whatever debugging setup you prefer. There’s also a spoiler-heavy blog post describing how the game was conceived and implemented, and the full code is available if you’re curious about how it works or want to experiment with the idea. Blog post: https://www.robopenguins.com/core-dump-game/ Source: https://github.com/axlan/fatal_core_dump If you enjoy debugging puzzles or low-level Linux tooling, I’d love to hear what you think.

    Mouser: An open source alternative to Logi-Plus mouse software
    I discovered this project because all-of-a-sudden Logi Options Plus software updater started taking 40-60% of my Intel Macbook Pro until I killed the process (of course it restarts). In my searches I ended up at a reddit discussion where I found other people with same issues. I'm a minor contributor to this project but it aims to reduce/eliminate the need to use Logitech proprietary software and telemetry. We could use help if other people are interested. Please check out the github link for more detailed motivations (eliminating telemetry) as a part of this project.

    Show HN: Context Gateway – Compress agent context before it hits the LLM
    We built an open-source proxy that sits between coding agents (Claude Code, OpenClaw, etc.) and the LLM, compressing tool outputs before they enter the context window. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vFZ6MPrwjw#t=9s. Motivation: Agents are terrible at managing context. A single file read or grep can dump thousands of tokens into the window, most of it noise. This isn't just expensive — it actively degrades quality. Long-context benchmarks consistently show steep accuracy drops as context grows (OpenAI's GPT-5.4 eval goes from 97.2% at 32k to 36.6% at 1M https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-5-4/). Our solution uses small language models (SLMs): we look at model internals and train classifiers to detect which parts of the context carry the most signal. When a tool returns output, we compress it conditioned on the intent of the tool call—so if the agent called grep looking for error handling patterns, the SLM keeps the relevant matches and strips the rest. If the model later needs something we removed, it calls expand() to fetch the original output. We also do background compaction at 85% window capacity and lazy-load tool descriptions so the model only sees tools relevant to the current step. The proxy also gives you spending caps, a dashboard for tracking running and past sessions, and Slack pings when an agent is sitting there waiting on you.

    Hi HN, we’re Lewis and Edgar, building Captain to simplify unstructured data search (https://runcaptain.com). Captain automates the building and maintenance of file-based RAG pipelines. It indexes cloud storage like S3 and GCS, plus SaaS sources like Google Drive. There’s a quick walkthrough at https://youtu.be/EIQkwAsIPmc. We also put up this demo site called “Ask PG’s Essays” which lets you ask/search the corpus of pg’s essays, to get a feel for how it works: https://pg.runcaptain.com.

    Show HN: Oxyde – Pydantic-native async ORM with a Rust core
    Hi HN! I built Oxyde because I was tired of duplicating my models. If you use FastAPI, you know the drill. You define Pydantic models for your API, then define separate ORM models for your database, then write converters between them. SQLModel tries to fix this but it's still SQLAlchemy underneath. Tortoise gives you a nice Django-style API but its own model system. Django ORM is great but welded to the framework. I wanted something simple: your Pydantic model IS your database model. One class, full validation on input and output, native type hints, zero duplication. The query API is Django-style (.objects.filter(), .exclude(), Q/F expressions) because I think it's one of the best designs out there. Explicit over implicit. I tried to remove all the magic. Queries don't touch the database u…  ( 12 min )
    Launch HN: Spine Swarm (YC S23) – AI agents that collaborate on a visual canvas
    Hey HN! We're Ashwin and Akshay from Spine AI (https://www.getspine.ai).

Here's a video of Spine Swarm in action: https://youtu.be/R_2-ggpZz0Q We've been friends for over 13 years. We took our first ML course together at NTU, in a part of campus called North Spine, which is where the name comes from. We went through YC in S23 and have spent about 3 years building Spine across many product iterations. The core idea: chat is the wrong interface for complex AI work. It's a linear thread, and real projects aren't linear. Sure, you can ask a chatbot to reference the financial mode…

    Hey HN — I’m Veer and my cofounder is Suryaa. We're building Cumulus Labs (YC W26), and we're releasing our latest product IonRouter (https://ionrouter.io/), an inference API for open-source and fine tuned models. You swap in our base URL, keep your existing OpenAI client code, and get access to any model (open source or finetuned to you) running on our own inference engine. The problem we kept running into: every inference provider is either fast-but-expensive (Together, Fireworks — you pay for always-on GPUs) or cheap-but-DIY (Modal, RunPod — you configure vLLM yourself and deal with slow cold starts). Neither felt right for teams that just want to ship. Suryaa spent years building GPU orchestration infrastructure at TensorDock and production systems at Palantir.

    Show HN: Understudy – Teach a desktop agent by demonstrating a task once
    I built Understudy because a lot of real work still spans native desktop apps, browser tabs, terminals, and chat tools. Most current agents live in only one of those surfaces. Understudy is a local-first desktop agent runtime that can operate GUI apps, browsers, shell tools, files, and messaging in one session. The part I'm most interested in feedback on is teach-by-demonstration: you do a task once, the agent records screen video + semantic events, extracts the intent rather than coordinates, and turns it into a reusable skill. Demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d5cRGnlb_0 In the demo I teach it: Google Image search -> download a photo -> remove background in Pixelmator Pro -> export -> send via Telegram. Then I ask it to do the same for Elon Musk. The replay isn't a brittle macro: the published skill stores intent steps, route options, and GUI hints only as a fallback. In this example it can also prefer faster routes when they are available instead of repeating every GUI step. Current state: macOS only. Layers 1-2 are working today; Layers 3-4 are partial and still early. npm install -g @understudy-ai/understudy understudy wizard https://github.com/understudy-ai/understudy Happy to answer questions about the architecture, teach-by-demonstration, or the limits of the current implementation.

    Show HN: OneCLI – Vault for AI Agents in Rust
    We built OneCLI because AI agents are being given raw API keys. And it's going about as well as you'd expect. We figured the answer isn't "don't give agents access," it's "give them access without giving them secrets." OneCLI is an open-source gateway that sits between your AI agents and the services they call. You store your real credentials once in OneCLI's encrypted vault, and give your agents placeholder keys. When an agent makes an HTTP call through the proxy, OneCLI matches the request by host/path, verifies the agent should have access, swaps the placeholder for the real credential, and forwards the request. The agent never touches the actual secret. It just uses CLI or MCP tools as normal. Try it in one line: docker run --pull always -p 10254:10254 -p 10255:10255 -v onecli-data:/app/data ghcr.io/onecli/onecli The proxy is written in Rust, the dashboard is Next.js, and secrets are AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest. Everything runs in a single Docker container with an embedded Postgres (PGlite), no external dependencies. Works with any agent framework (OpenClaw, NanoClaw, IronClaw, or anything that can set an HTTPS_PROXY). We started with what felt most urgent: agents shouldn't be holding raw credentials. The next layer is access policies and audit, defining what each agent can call, logging everything, and requiring human approval before sensitive actions go through. It's Apache-2.0 licensed. We'd love feedback on the approach, and we're especially curious how people are handling agent auth today.

    Show HN: We analyzed 1,573 Claude Code sessions to see how AI agents work
    We built rudel.ai after realizing we had no visibility into our own Claude Code sessions. We were using it daily but had no idea which sessions were efficient, why some got abandoned, or whether we were actually improving over time. So we built an analytics layer for it. After connecting our own sessions, we ended up with a dataset of 1,573 real Claude Code sessions, 15M+ tokens, 270K+ interactions. Some things we found that surprised us: - Skills were only being used in 4% of our sessions - 26% of sessions are abandoned, most within the first 60 seconds - Session success rate varies significantly by task type (documentation scores highest, refactoring lowest) - Error cascade patterns appear in the first 2 minutes and predict abandonment with reasonable accuracy - There is no meaningful benchmark for 'good' agentic session performance, we are building one. The tool is free to use and fully open source, happy to answer questions about the data or how we built it.

    Document poisoning in RAG systems: How attackers corrupt AI's sources
    I'm the author. Repo is here: https://github.com/aminrj-labs/mcp-attack-labs/tree/main/lab... The lab runs entirely on LM Studio + Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct (Q4_K_M) + ChromaDB — no cloud APIs, no GPU required, no API keys. From zero to seeing the poisoning succeed: git clone, make setup, make attack1. About 10 minutes. Two things worth flagging upfront: - The 95% success rate is against a 5-document corpus (best case for the attacker). In a mature collection you need proportionally more poisoned docs to dominate retrieval — but the mechanism is the same. - Embedding anomaly detection at ingestion was the biggest surprise: 95% → 20% as a standalone control, outperforming all three generation-phase defenses combined. It runs on embeddings your pipeline already produces — no additional model. All five layers combined: 10% residual. Happy to discuss methodology, the PoisonedRAG comparison, or anything that looks off. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47350407 Points: 73 # Comments: 26  ( 10 min )

    Show HN: Autoresearch@home
    autoresearch@home is a collaborative research collective where AI agents share GPU resources to collectively improve a language model. Think SETI@home, but for model training. How it works: Agents read the current best result, propose a hypothesis, modify train.py, run the experiment on your GPU, and publish results back. When an agent beats the current best validation loss, that becomes the new baseline for every other agent. Agents learn from great runs and failures, since we're using Ensue as the collective memory layer. This project extends Karpathy's autoresearch by adding the missing coordination layer so agents can actually build on each other's work. To participate, you need an agent and a GPU. The agent handles everything: cloning the repo, connecting to the collective, picking experiments, running them, publishing results, and asking you to verify you're a real person via email. Send this prompt to your agent to get started: Read https://github.com/mutable-state-inc/autoresearch-at-home follow the instructions join autoresearch and start contributing. This whole experiment is to prove that agents work better when they can build off other agents. The timeline is live, so you can watch experiments land in real time.

    Show HN: A context-aware permission guard for Claude Code
    We needed something like --dangerously-skip-permissions that doesn’t nuke your untracked files, exfiltrate your keys, or install malware. Claude Code's permission system is allow-or-deny per tool, but that doesn’t really scale. Deleting some files is fine sometimes. And git checkout is sometimes not fine. Even when you curate permissions, 200 IQ Opus can find a way around it. Maintaining a deny list is a fool's errand. nah is a PreToolUse hook that classifies every tool call by what it actually does, using a deterministic classifier that runs in milliseconds. It maps commands to action types like filesystem_read, package_run, db_write, git_history_rewrite, and applies policies: allow, context (depends on the target), ask, or block. Not everything can be classified, so you can optionally escalate ambiguous stuff to an LLM, but that’s not required. Anything unresolved you can approve, and configure the taxonomy so you don’t get asked again. It works out of the box with sane defaults, no config needed. But you can customize it fully if you want to. No dependencies, stdlib Python, MIT. pip install nah && nah install https://github.com/manuelschipper/nah Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47343927 Points: 64 # Comments: 31  ( 16 min )

    X is selling existing users' handles
    I've been on Twitter since 2007 as @hac. In recent years I didn't sign in frequently, then last week I saw my handle show up on the new X Handles marketplace. It seems the account now belongs to X, and because I had a "rare handle" I can't even buy it back. From what I can tell, they will wait for some time and then auction the handle for around $100k. Losing your account is frustrating. Having it sold to someone else doesn't feel right. Of course, there is no warning when it happens. All you can do to prevent it is sign in every 30 days and read all changes to the TOS. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47340754 Points: 65 # Comments: 38  ( 7 min )

    Show HN: Vanilla JavaScript refinery simulator built to explain job to my kids
    Hi HN, I’m a chemical engineer and I manage logistics at a refinery down in Texas. Whenever I try to explain downstream operations to people outside the industry (including my kids), I usually get blank stares. I wanted to build something that visualizes the concepts and chemistry of a plant without completely dumbing down the science, so I put together this 5-minute browser game. Here's a simple runthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is-moBz6upU. I pushed to get through a full product pathway to show the V-804 replay. I am not a software developer by trade, so I relied heavily on LLMs (Claude, Copilot, Gemini) to help write the code. What started as a simple concept turned into a 9,000-line single-page app built with vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I used Matter.js for the 2D phys…

    Show HN: I built a tool that watches webpages and exposes changes as RSS
    I built Site Spy after missing a visa appointment slot because a government page changed and I didn’t notice for two weeks. It watches webpages for changes and shows the result like a diff. The part I think HN might find interesting is that it can monitor a specific element on a page, not just the whole page, and it can expose changes as RSS feeds. So instead of tracking an entire noisy page, you can watch just a price, a stock status, a headline, or a specific content block. When it changes, you can inspect the diff, browse the snapshot history, or follow the updates in an RSS reader. It’s a Chrome/Firefox extension plus a web dashboard. Main features: - Element picker for tracking a specific part of a page - Diff view plus full snapshot timeline - RSS feeds per watch, per tag, or across all watches - MCP server for Claude, Cursor, and other AI agents - Browser push, Email, and Telegram notifications Chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/site-spy/jeapcpanag... Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/site-spy/ Docs: https://docs.sitespy.app I’d especially love feedback on two things: - Is RSS actually a useful interface for this, or do most people just want direct alerts? - Does element-level tracking feel meaningfully better than full-page monitoring?

    We are Bailey and Robbie and we are working on Klaus (https://klausai.com/): hosted OpenClaw that is secure and powerful out of the box. Running OpenClaw requires setting up a cloud VM or local container (a pain) or giving OpenClaw root access to your machine (insecure). Many basic integrations (eg Slack, Google Workspace) require you to create your own OAuth app. We make running OpenClaw simple by giving each user their own EC2 instance, preconfigured with keys for OpenRouter, AgentMail, and Orthogonal. And we have OAuth apps to make it easy to integrate with Slack and Google Workspace. We are both HN readers (Bailey has been on here for ~10 years) and we know OpenClaw has serious security concerns.

    Show HN: Open-source browser for AI agents
    Hi HN, I forked chromium and built agent-browser-protocol (ABP) after noticing that most browser-agent failures aren’t really about the model misunderstanding the page. Instead, the problem is that the model is reasoning from a stale state. ABP is designed to keep the acting agent synchronized with the browser at every step. After each action (click, type, etc), it freezes JavaScript execution and rendering, then captures the resulting state. It also compiles the notable events that occurred during that action loop, such as navigation, file pickers, permission prompts, alerts, and downloads, and sends that along with a screenshot of the frozen page state back to the agent. The result is that browser interaction starts to feel more like a multimodal chat loop. The agent takes an action, gets back a fresh visual state and a structured summary of what happened, then decides what to do next from there. That fits much better with how LLMs already work. A few common browser-use failures ABP helps eliminate: * A modal appears after the last Playwright screenshot and blocks the input the agent was about to use * Dynamic filters cause the page to reflow between steps * An autocomplete dropdown opens and covers the element the agent intended to click * alert() / confirm() interrupts the flow * Downloads are triggered, but the agent has no reliable way to know when they’ve completed As proof, ABP with opus 4.6 as the driver scores 90.5% on the Online Mind2Web benchmark. I think modern LLMs already understand websites, they just need a better tool to interact with them.

    Show HN: Channel Surfer – Watch YouTube like it’s cable TV
    I know, it's a very first-world problem. But in my house, we have a hard time deciding what to watch. Too many options! So I made this to recreate Cable TV for YouTube. I made it so it runs in the browser. Quickly import your subscriptions in the browser via a bookmarklet. No accounts, no sign-ins. Just quickly import your data locally.

    Launch HN: RunAnywhere (YC W26) – Faster AI Inference on Apple Silicon
    Hi HN, we're Sanchit and Shubham (YC W26). We built a fast inference engine for Apple Silicon. LLMs, speech-to-text, text-to-speech – MetalRT beats llama.cpp, Apple's MLX, Ollama, and sherpa-onnx on every modality we tested. Custom Metal shaders, no framework overhead. Also, we've open-sourced RCLI, the fastest end-to-end voice AI pipeline on Apple Silicon. Mic to spoken response, entirely on-device. No cloud, no API keys. To get started: brew tap RunanywhereAI/rcli https://github.com/RunanywhereAI/RCLI.git brew install rcli rcli setup # downloads ~1 GB of models rcli # interactive mode with push-to-talk curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RunanywhereAI/RCLI/main/install.sh | bash LLM decode – 1.67x faster than llama.cpp, 1.19x faster than Apple MLX (same mod…  ( 16 min )

    Show HN: What was the world listening to? Music charts, 20 countries (1940–2025)
    I built this because I wanted to know what people in Japan were listening to the year I was born. That question spiraled: how does a hit in Rome compare to what was charting in Lagos the same year? How did sonic flavors propagate as streaming made musical influence travel faster than ever? 88mph is a playable map of music history: 230 charts across 20 countries, spanning 8 decades (1940–2025). Every song is playable via YouTube or Spotify. It's open source and I'd love help expanding it — there's a link to contribute charts for new countries and years. The goal is to crowdsource a complete sonic atlas of the world. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47325296 Points: 51 # Comments: 19  ( 2 min )
    Launch HN: Didit (YC W26) – Stripe for Identity Verification
    Hi HN, I’m Alberto. I co-founded Didit (https://didit.me) with my identical twin brother Alejandro. We are building a unified identity layer—a single integration that handles KYC, AML, biometrics, authentication, and fraud prevention globally. Here’s a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTdcg7JCc4M&t=7s. Being identical twins, we’ve spent our whole lives dealing with identity confusion, so it is a bit of irony that we ended up building a company to solve it for the internet. Growing up in Barcelona, we spent years working on products where identity issues were a massive pain. We eventually realized that for most engineering teams, "global identity" is a fiction—in reality it is a fragmented mess. You end up stitching together one provider for US driver's licenses, another for NFC chip e…  ( 13 min )

    Show HN: The Mog Programming Language
    Hi, Ted here, creator of Mog. - Mog is a statically typed, compiled, embedded language (think statically typed Lua) designed to be written by LLMs -- the full spec fits in 3,200 tokens. - An AI agent writes a Mog program, compiles it, and dynamically loads it as a plugin, script, or hook. - The host controls exactly which functions a Mog program can call (capability-based permissions), so permissions propagate from agent to agent-written code. - Compiled to native code for low-latency plugin execution -- no interpreter overhead, no JIT, no process startup cost. - The compiler is written in safe Rust so the entire toolchain can be audited for security. Even without a full security audit, Mog is already useful for agents extending themselves with their own code. - MIT licensed, contributions…  ( 139 min )

    Launch HN: Terminal Use (YC W26) – Vercel for filesystem-based agents
    Hello Hacker News! We're Filip, Stavros, and Vivek from Terminal Use (https://www.terminaluse.com/). We built Terminal Use to make it easier to deploy agents that work in a sandboxed environment and need filesystems to do work. This includes coding agents, research agents, document processing agents, and internal tools that read and write files. Here's a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttMl96l9xPA. Our biggest pain point with hosting agents was that you'd need to stitch together multiple pieces: packaging your agent, running it in a sandbox, streaming messages back to users, persisting state across turns, and managing getting files to and from the agent workspace. We wanted something like Cog from Replicate, but for agents: a simple way to package agent code from a repo and serve it …  ( 14 min )

We were part of YC S24, an agentic workflow company that previously worked with sales floors automating niche enterprise tasks such as outbound calling, legal intake, etc. Building consumer / power-user software always gave me more joy than FDEing into an enterprise. It did not give me joy to manually add AI tools to a cloud harness for every small new thing, at least not as much as completely local software that is open source and has all the powers of OpenClaw (I can now talk to my CRM on Telegram!). A week ago, we launched Ironclaw, an Open Source OpenClaw CRM Framework (https://x.com/garrytan/status/2023518514120937672?s=20) but people confused us with NearAI’s Ironclaw, so we changed our name to DenchClaw (https://d…  ( 5 min )

    Show HN: Mcp2cli – One CLI for every API, 96-99% fewer tokens than native MCP
    Every MCP server injects its full tool schemas into context on every turn — 30 tools costs ~3,600 tokens/turn whether the model uses them or not. Over 25 turns with 120 tools, that's 362,000 tokens just for schemas. mcp2cli turns any MCP server or OpenAPI spec into a CLI at runtime. The LLM discovers tools on demand: mcp2cli --mcp https://mcp.example.com/sse --list # ~16 tokens/tool mcp2cli --mcp https://mcp.example.com/sse create-task --help # ~120 tokens, once mcp2cli --mcp https://mcp.example.com/sse create-task --title "Fix bug" Token savings are real, measured with cl100k_base: 96% for 30 tools over 15 turns, 99% for 120 tools over 25 turns. It also ships as an installable skill for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex): `npx skills add knowsuchagency/mcp2cli --skill mcp2cli` Inspired by Kagan Yilmaz's CLI vs MCP analysis and CLIHub. https://github.com/knowsuchagency/mcp2cli Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47305149 Points: 69 # Comments: 36  ( 26 min )

    Show HN: I built a real-time OSINT dashboard pulling 15 live global feeds
    Sup HN, So I got tired of bouncing between Flightradar, MarineTraffic, and Twitter every time something kicked off globally, so I wrote a dashboard to aggregate it all locally. It’s called Shadowbroker. I’ll admit I leaned way too hard into the "movie hacker" aesthetic for the UI, but the actual pipeline underneath is real. It pulls commercial/military ADS-B, the AIS WebSocket stream (about 25,000+ ships), N2YO satellite telemetry, and GDELT conflict data into a single MapLibre instance. Getting this to run without melting my browser was the hardest part. I'm running this on a laptop with an i5 and an RTX 3050, and initially, dumping 30k+ moving GeoJSON features onto the map just crashed everything. I ended up having to write pretty aggressive viewport culling, debounce the state updates, and compress the FastAPI payloads by like 90% just to make it usable. My favorite part is the signal layer—it actually calculates live GPS jamming zones by aggregating the real-time navigation degradation (NAC-P) of commercial flights overhead. It’s Next.js and Python. I threw a quick-start script in the releases if you just want to spin it up, but the repo is open if you want to dig into the backend. Let me know if my MapLibre implementation is terrible, I'm always looking for ways to optimize the rendering.

    For the first time in my life, at 38, I'm alone. When I was 18 I basically moved out of my parents' straight in with my highschool sweetheart, and we were together ever since. That chapter of my life is over now, and I'm finding the adjustment very difficult. There are a few parts to the difficulty. One is that when I have something to say about my day, there's nowhere to say it; no one on HN cares whether I fixed up the blinds or cooked pork steaks. I hang out in an IRC chatroom for that, but sometimes nobody's around for hours. Another is that weekends are hard. I used to be in a house filled with life each weekend, and now it's me and my dog (and my cat, when he decides to grace me with his presence). Having animals helps somewhat, but it's still hard simply being alone with myself for …  ( 46 min )

    Show HN: µJS, a 5KB alternative to Htmx and Turbo with zero dependencies
    I built µJS because I wanted AJAX navigation without the verbosity of HTMX or the overhead of Turbo. It intercepts links and form submissions, fetches pages via AJAX, and swaps fragments of the DOM. Single tag, one call to `mu.init()`. No build step, no dependencies. Key features: patch mode (update multiple fragments in one request), SSE support, DOM morphing via idiomorph, View Transitions, prefetch on hover, polling, and full HTTP verb support on any element. At ~5KB gzipped, it's smaller than HTMX (16KB) and Turbo (25KB), and works with any backend: PHP, Python, Go, Ruby, whatever. Playground: https://mujs.org/playground Comparison with HTMX and Turbo: https://mujs.org/comparison About the project creation, why and when: https://mujs.org/about GitHub: https://github.com/Digicreon/muJS Happy to discuss the project.

    Zero dependencies. No external databases. Single binary. Just deploy and go. I needed something that would allow for real-time monitoring, and installation is as simple as dropping a single file and running it. That's exactly what Kula is. Kula is the Polish word for "ball," as in "crystal ball." The project is in constant development, but I'm already using it on multiple servers in production. It still has some rough edges and needs to mature, but I wanted to share it with the world now—perhaps someone else will find it useful and be willing to help me develop it by testing or providing feedback.

    I’m ready to retire. In my younger days, I remember a few pivotal moments for me as a young nerd. Active Server Pages. COM components. VB6. I know these are laughable today but back then it was the greatest thing in the world to be able to call server-side commands. It kept me up nights trying to absorb it all. Fast forward decades and Claude Code is giving me that same energy and drive. I love it. It feels like it did back then. I’m chasing the midnight hour and not getting any sleep.
