I benchmarked ROLV against dense cuBLAS on the actual Llama 4 Maverick MoE expert FFN layer (up_proj, 16384×5120, bfloat16) pulled directly from HuggingFace (model-00001-of-00084.safetensors).
Numbers (Batch=512, 1000 iters, NVIDIA B200):
Tokens/s: 369K (cuBLAS) → 7.66M (ROLV) — 20.7x faster
TFLOPS (effective): 62 → 1,285 — 20.7x
Time to First Token: 64.8ms → 0.37ms — 177x faster
Energy: 232J → 43J — 81.5% savings
ROLV exploits structured sparsity in MoE expert weights to skip large blocks of computation entirely, while producing canonically equivalent output (hash-verified). The TFLOPS figure is "effective" — computed as if doing the full dense multiply — so the 1285 TFLOPS isn't violating hardware peak; it's reflecting how much work was avoided.
The TTFT speedup (177x) is especially relevant for interactive inference: MoE models spend a huge fraction of first-token latency in these expert projections, and collapsing that from 65ms to 0.4ms per layer changes what's possible for real-time applications.
Verified with norm hashes at both ends (baseline and ROLV output) and a canonical check. Weights are real, not synthetic.
Setup: PyTorch 2.8.0+cu128, CUDA 12.8, Python 3.12, NVIDIA B200.

Hey HN, I'm Parth, a high school senior who built Marque after getting frustrated with the same problem on every project.
Every AI coding agent starts from zero. It has no memory of your color semantics, your typographic scale, your spacing rhythm, or the visual decisions you have already made. So it defaults to the centroid of everything it has ever seen. Rounded cards. Blue buttons. Gradient blobs. The same page it builds everyone. You either paste 200 words of design context into every single prompt or you accept generic output by default. I wanted something that lived at the infrastructure level rather than the prompt level.
That is what Marque is.
npm install -g marque-cli
marque stamp stripe.com
marque synthesize --apply
marque mcp setup
marque synthesize turns that into an actionable mark: a concept philosophy with a core metaphor, a pattern vocabulary with JSX blueprints, anti-defaults telling the agent exactly what not to build, and section guidance per page type.
marque mcp setup writes config files for Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Codex, and Antigravity simultaneously. The agent calls get_design_context_for() before it writes a single line.
Real design taste is never singular though. Kirby Ferguson's Everything is a Remix maps directly here: the best design is copy, transform, combine. marque blend lets you pass multiple references with weights, scrapes them in parallel, interpolates the typography scale numerically, resolves color dominance by weight, and synthesizes a concept philosophy describing the creative tension between the references as a named design identity. Not averaging two sites. Creating something original from the intersection of what you admire.
marque blend lusion.co vercel.com 0.6 0.4
And once the agent starts building, marque improve keeps it honest. Agents drift. By the third component they are back to generic defaults. The improve loop screenshots your running dev server, diffs it against your mark using a vision model, writes element level violations by severity to a corrections file, and re-scores on every file change until the output actually matches.
marque improve --url localhost:3000 --target 85
The goal is simple: vibe-coded products should look as good as they build fast. Everything is free and open source.

I've been working on browser automation infrastructure for a while and kept hitting the same ceiling: Playwright and Puppeteer are great for scripting but fall apart when you need stealth at scale. Cloud-based solutions like Browserbase work but you're sending all your data to a third party and can't control the environment.
So we built Owl Browser, a self-hosted Chromium-based engine that runs in a single Docker container. The core technical problem we tried to solve was fingerprint consistency. Most browser automation tools either ignore fingerprinting entirely or apply surface-level patches (spoofing navigator.userAgent, etc.) that fail because the underlying hardware signals remain inconsistent. We went deeper: GPU renderer strings, canvas noise, AudioContext fingerprints, WebGL parameters, font metrics, and timing side-channels all need to be internally consistent for a profile to pass detection.
Current numbers: 256 parallel sessions per instance, sub-12ms cold start, 157 MCP tools, RFC 9421 HTTP Message Signatures with Ed25519 for Cloudflare Verified Bot enrollment.
For March we're running free stress tests: 100 concurrent real browser sessions against any web app, you get a breakdown of where things fail. Different from k6 or Locust because those send raw HTTP requests and skip everything that runs client-side. Signup at owlbrowser.net.
Happy to go deep on the fingerprinting approach or the MCP integration if anyone's curious.

I've been developing a framework since 2022 that proposes time is not a static geometric axis (as in Einstein's relativity) but emerges dynamically from the rotational and orbital motion of 3D space.
The core idea: each dimension emerges from the previous one by arranging infinite instances perpendicularly. A static 3D space can't do this to itself — but a rotating one can. That perpetual self-perpendicularity is time.
From this we can derive the Lorentz factor, E=mc², and the Schwarzschild radius, and propose a testable prediction: intrinsic rotation should contribute independently to time dilation, measurable with atomic clocks.

I built a small browser puzzle game:
https://make24.app
Each day you get 4 numbers and try to make exactly 24 using +, −, ×, ÷. Each number must be used exactly once, and fractions are allowed.
I like puzzle games that are very easy to start but still genuinely challenging, so I tried to make this one as small and streamlined as possible — no signup, no ads, and not much UI beyond what is needed to play. Much of the AI-assisted coding work was cutting away clutter.
Three moves with no undos in less than 60 seconds constitutes a perfect solve.
After you solve the daily puzzle, a hidden Hard Mode appears. Using the same four numbers, you try to fill as many reachable integer targets as possible before the timer ends.
A few implementation details:
puzzles always have at least one valid solution
Hard Mode computes the reachable target set dynamically
everything runs in the browser
mobile-first, but playable on desktop too
keyboard input works on desktop
Two things I’d especially love feedback on:
Does Hard Mode make sense within the first 10 seconds?

Hi HN,
I’m sharing OpenClix, an open source toolkit for running mobile engagement and retention flows directly inside your app.
The motivation came from repeatedly seeing the same pattern when teams try to improve retention. They end up stitching together push providers, experimentation tools, analytics pipelines, and backend services just to ship simple onboarding nudges or re engagement reminders. The setup becomes complex very quickly.
OpenClix takes a different approach.
Instead of a hosted platform or heavy SDK, it provides config driven engagement logic that runs on device. Campaigns and rules live in a simple JSON config and react to app events locally. You can trigger notifications, schedule follow ups, or suppress messages based on user behavior without needing a backend control plane.
A few core ideas behind the project:
• Local first execution. Engagement logic runs on the device, which removes a lot of infrastructure and latency.
• Source vendoring instead of SDK lock in. The code can live directly in your repo so you can inspect and modify it.
• Config driven campaigns. Triggers, guardrails, and messaging logic are defined in a simple config file.
• Agent friendly workflows. The project is structured so coding agents can safely generate and modify campaigns or rules.
Typical things people use it for:
• onboarding nudges
• streak or habit reminders
• re engagement after inactivity
• retention experiments without a full growth stack
I’d love feedback on a few things:
• Does the local first approach make sense for engagement logic?
• What types of campaigns would you want to run this way?
• What analytics or integrations would make this more useful?
Happy to answer questions and discuss how others handle retention tooling today.

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 welcome.
Motivations for Mog:
1. Syntax Only an AI Could Love: Mog is written for AIs to write, so the spec fits easily in context (~3200 tokens), and it's intended to minimize foot-guns to lower the error rate when generating Mog code. This is why Mog has no operator precedence: non-associative operations have to use parentheses, e.g.  (a + b) * c. It's also why there's no implicit type coercion, which I've found over the decades to be an annoying source of runtime bugs. There's also less support in Mog for generics, and there's absolutely no support for metaprogramming, macros, or syntactic abstraction.
When asking people to write code in a language, these restrictions could be onerous. But LLMs don't care, and the less expressivity you trust them with, the better.
2. Capabilities-Based Permissionsl: There's a paradox with existing security models for AI agents. If you give an agent like OpenClaw unfettered access to your data, that's insecure and you'll get pwned. But if you sandbox it, it can't do most of what you want. Worse, if you run scripts the agent wrote, those scripts don't inherit the permissions that constrain the agent's own bash tool calls, which leads to pwnage and other chaos. And that's not even assuming you run one of the many OpenClaw plugins with malware.
Mog tries to solve this by taking inspiration from embedded languages. It compiles all the way to machine code, ahead of time, but the compiler doesn't output any dangerous code (at least it shouldn't -- Mog is quite new, so that could still be buggy). This allows a host program, such as an AI agent, to generate Mog source code, compile it, and load it into itself using dlopen(), while maintaining security guarantees.
The main trick is that a Mog program on its own can't do much. It has no direct access to syscalls, libc, or memory. It can basically call functions, do heap allocations (but only within the arena the host gives it), and return something. If the host wants the Mog program to be able to do I/O, it has to supply the functions that the Mog program will call. A core invariant is that a Mog program should never be able to crash the host program, corrupt its state, or consume more resources than the host allows.
This allows the host to inspect the arguments to any potentially dangerous operation that the Mog program attempts, since it's code that runs in the host. For example, a host agent could give a Mog program a function to run a bash command, then enforce its own session-level permissions on that command, even though the command was dynamically generated by a plugin that was written without prior knowledge of those permission settings.
(There are a couple other tricks that PL people might find interesting. One is that the host can limit the execution time of the guest program. It does this using cooperative interrupt polling, i.e. the compiler inserts runtime checks that check if the host has asked the guest to stop. This causes a roughly 10% drop in performance on extremely tight loops, which are the worst case. It could almost certainly be optimized.)
3.  Self Modification Without Restart: When I try to modify my OpenClaw from my phone, I have to restart the whole agent. Mog fixes this: an agent can compile and run new plugins without interrupting a session, which makes it dynamically responsive to user feedback (e.g., you tell it to always ask you before deleting a file and without any interruption it compiles and loads the code to... actually do that).
Async support is built into the language, by adapting LLVM's coroutine lowering to our Rust port of the QBE compiler, which is what Mog uses for compilation. The Mog host library can be slotted into an async event loop (tested with Bun), so Mog async calls get scheduled seamlessly by the agent's event loop.
Another trick is that the Mog program uses a stack inside the memory arena that the host provides for it to run in, rather than the system stack. The system tracks a guard page between the stack and heap. This design prevents stack overflow without runtime overhead.
Lots of work still needs to be done to make Mog a "batteries-included" experience like Python. Most of that work involves fleshing out a standard library to include things like JSON, CSV, Sqlite, and HTTP. One high-impact addition would be an `llm` library that allows the guest to make LLM calls through the agent, which should support multiple models and token budgeting, so the host could prevent the plugin from burning too many tokens.
I suspect we'll also want to do more work to make the program lifecycle operations more ergonomic. And finally, there should be a more fully featured library for integrating a Mog host into an AI agent like OpenClaw or OpenAI's Codex CLI.

I built a free browser-based tool for generating 3D text with multi-colour outlines, designed for 3D printers that support multiple filaments.
You type text, pick a font, add coloured outline layers, adjust thickness, and preview everything in real-time 3D. Then export as 3MF and each colour shows up as a separate named part that drops straight into Bambu Studio, no need for manual painting. You can also download the STLs.
Tech details for the curious:
- Vanilla JS client code
 - Three.js for 3D preview, opentype.js for font parsing
 - Geometry pipeline: opentype paths → Clipper-lib (boolean ops for outline rings via cumulative offsets + differences) → Tess2 (triangulation) → extruded meshes
 - Server-side export via Cloudflare workers (same geometry pipeline, runs headlessly to produce 3MF/STL)
 - Preview images generated by @cf-wasm/resvg on the edge
 - Every design is a shareable URL, all state lives in query params
 - Licensed CC BY 4.0.

I kept opening Instagram to check a DM and losing 40 minutes to Reels. Deleting the app meant losing DMs and Stories. So I built a browser that loads the real mobile web versions with the short-form content already gone.
It's an iOS app using WKWebView with three layers of filtering per platform:
1. WKContentRuleList blocks URLs (/reels/, /shorts/) at the network level before they load. Also applies static CSS display:none. Compiled once at launch, zero JS cost.
2. CSS injected at document start for complex selectors (:has() combinators and such) that the content rule API can't express.
3. MutationObserver in JS catches content that Instagram/YouTube inject after initial load (both are SPAs that render feed items dynamically). WeakSet tracks processed nodes, rAF-debounced.
Selectors target aria-labels, data attributes, and href patterns instead of class names. Instagram rotates classes constantly. Each platform has its own manifest.json that defines what to block, so updating selectors when platforms change their DOM is a ~5 minute edit.
The part I didn't expect: removing algorithmic content isn't enough. Even "clean" Instagram is still designed to pull you back. So I added time limits, scheduled blocks (no Instagram after 11pm), and a friction gate. A small challenge appears before opening a platform. The friction gate alone cut my impulsive opens roughly in half.
Tradeoffs I'm aware of:
1. This is a cat-and-mouse game. Platforms change DOM, filters break, I update. The three-layer approach means if one layer breaks the others still catch most content, but it's ongoing work.
2. iOS only. WKWebView is the only way to do this on iOS without a VPN/proxy. Android would need a different approach entirely.
3. No free tier. $3.99/mo or $14.99/yr. I considered freemium but didn't want to gate filtering behind a paywall. It's all-or-nothing.
4. "Why not a Safari extension?" I tried this first. Extensions can't intercept SPA navigations reliably, can't do MutationObserver-based filtering, and the UX of opening Safari and navigating to instagram.com is much worse than tapping a platform icon.
No accounts, no analytics, no data leaves the device.

Hi HN, I'm the solo developer behind Ratschn.
I type a lot and got extremely frustrated with the current state of Mac dictation tools. Most of them are either heavy Electron wrappers, rely on cloud APIs (a privacy nightmare), or force you into a SaaS subscription for a tool that essentially runs on your own hardware. I wanted something that feels native, respects system resources, and runs entirely offline without forced subscriptions.
The stack is Rust, Tauri, and whisper.cpp. Here are the design decisions I made:
Model Size vs. Accuracy: Instead of using the smallest possible model just to claim a tiny footprint, the app downloads a ~490MB multi-language Whisper model locally on the first run. I found this to be the sweet spot for high accuracy (accents, technical jargon) to drastically reduce text correction time.
Hardware Acceleration: The downloaded model is compiled via CoreML. This allows the transcription to run directly on the Apple Neural Engine (ANE) and Metal on M-series chips, keeping the main CPU largely idle.
Memory Footprint: By using Tauri instead of Electron, the UI footprint is negligible. While actively running, the app takes up around 500MB of RAM. This makes perfect technical sense, as it is almost entirely the ~490MB AI model being actively held in memory to ensure instant transcription the millisecond you hit the global shortcut.
Input Method: It uses macOS accessibility APIs to type directly into your active window.
Business Model & Pricing:
I strongly dislike subscription fatigue for local tools. There is a fully functional 7-day free trial (no account required). If you want to keep it, my main focus is a fair one-time purchase (€125 for a lifetime license). However, since I highly value the technical feedback from this community, I generated an exclusive launch code (HN25) that takes 25% off at checkout (dropping it to roughly €93 / ~$100).
Bug Bounty: Since I'm a solo dev, I know I might have missed some edge cases (especially around CoreML compilation on specific M-chips or weird keyboard layouts). If you find a genuine, reproducible bug and take the time to report it here in the thread, I will happily manually upgrade you to a free Lifetime license as a massive thank you for the QA help.
I'd love to hear your technical feedback on the Rust/Tauri architecture or how the CoreML compilation performs on your specific Apple Silicon setup. Happy to answer any questions!

Hello,
I wanted to explore the A2UI protocol using my new favorite tech/stack, so I did a heavily LLM-assisted implementation of it.
It's a very early release and more of an experimental nature. I have yet to use it in a sharp situation, but my goal is to do that. Will report back later with real world usage, and of course update and tweak the API so it's as fluid as possible.
And as it happened last time for me, I found another implementation (ex_a2ui) just as I published this. I think there is room for both as they have different use cases and APIs (this being server-side rendering, the other being the server protocol).
Maybe someone of you find this interesting still!

I built VectorLens because I was tired of "log file archaeology" every time my RAG pipeline hallucinated. Usually, when an LLM gives a wrong answer, you're stuck guessing which retrieved chunk misled it—or why the right chunk was ignored.
Existing observability tools either require a cloud signup, an enterprise contract, or heavy manual instrumentation of your code. I wanted something that stayed local and just worked.
The Solution: Three lines of code
Python
import vectorlens
vectorlens.serve()  # Open http://127.0.0.1:7756
# Your RAG code runs as-is (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, ChromaDB, FAISS, etc. are auto-intercepted)
How it works technically:
Zero-Config Interception: It monkey-patches common LLM and Vector DB clients. You don't have to change your functions or wrap your calls; it intercepts the data flow automatically.
Local Hallucination Detection: It uses sentence-transformers (a 22MB model) to compare the LLM’s output sentences against the retrieved context. If the similarity is too low, it's flagged as a hallucination.
Perturbation Attribution: To figure out "why," it measures how the output changes when specific chunks are removed or modified. This gives you a clear score of which data points actually drove the response.
Fully Local: No data leaves your machine. The dashboard is a local React app updated via WebSockets.
Why use this over other tools?
Privacy: No cloud uploads or API keys for the debugger itself.
No Vendor Lock-in: Works with local models (Ollama/Mistral) just as easily as it does with GPT-4.
Speed: It runs detection in a background thread, so it doesn't block your main application logic.
I’m looking for feedback on the attribution accuracy and if there are specific Vector DBs you'd like to see supported next.

Hey everyone.
I am Anant. Previously used to work at Goldman Sachs, and have worked on a few projects since I decided to go full time bootstrapped.
I also have a family business that is mostly my day job, which involves a very boring non-tech life for the most part involving industrial supplies, manufacturing and a lot of inquiries and sales.
At some point, keeping track of inquiries in email became a choke point for me. What ends up happening is that during busy times, I always end up prioritizing bigger inquiries, but in the long term, this is hazardous for customer relationships.
The answer to my problem is a CRM, but the reason I have never used one prior is because I absolutely can not use my time to update a dashboard.
For the past 4 months I have been building something that solves this problem for me. It is a full featured CRM, free usage is available, even though team functionalities are coming soon.
What it does is it tracks every email, and every whatsapp interaction. Those are the two channels immediately important for me, and automatically keeps track of deals, tasks and contacts, and even sets up reminders that show up and work through the app(Android in Beta).
The result is a platform that works seamlessly, is ZERO data entry(except for calls for now), and works with context on its own, all while not blowing the budget through the roof.
There are a lot of things that I want to integrate sooner rather than later: Google Calendar sync, Agentic Chat for steering(custom workflows and prompt modifications), and deeper integration with reminders.
Focus is purely on a system that works as well as a Human sales assistant would while requiring absolutely zero or very minimal input from me or other users.
Would love to hear your thoughts and what would features would be the difference makers for you in a system like this.
P.S. Does not use OpenClaw or similar projects. Agent Orchestration is custom built, and very modular in nature. Tested over months with my live business data.

I got diagnosed with ADHD at 47. After the diagnosis I started noticing how most productivity tools assume consistent executive function which in turn is the exact thing ADHD disrupts. So I built something different.
DopaLoop is an iOS habit tracker that starts with goals ("better sleep", "less overwhelm") and lets you attach habits to them. Miss a day: nothing resets. The goal stays visible as an anchor or Northstar. The idea is that patterns over time matter more than daily streaks.
Tech: SwiftUI + SwiftData, with Foundation Framework and CoreML, fully local, no backend, no account. Privacy wasn't just a marketing decision, really. I just didn't want anyone to fear for their data, including myself or my kids. Everything stays on-device.
14-day free trial to get some momentum and gain insights from the analytics. No ads, no data collection.
Source isn't public, but happy to answer questions about the SwiftUI/SwiftData architecture, the HealthKit integration, or the ADHD-specific design decisions.

I built SubmitGate because mobile teams often catch submission/compliance issues too late — after the build is green, QA is done, and release week has already started.
SubmitGate is a deterministic CLI that scans real mobile build artifacts (not just source code) and generates reports for issues that can slow down or complicate store submission. It’s focused on the gap between “the app builds” and “the app is actually safe to submit.”
Right now it scans iOS and Android artifacts and surfaces things like privacy manifest issues, ATS exceptions, required-reason-API related findings, permissions/configuration problems, and other release-time compliance risks. It also has a local report viewer so teams can inspect findings without uploading artifacts anywhere.
A few things I cared about while building it:
deterministic output
artifact-based scanning
CI-friendly reports
useful evidence/remediation instead of vague warnings
local-first workflow
I started this because I think too much mobile release pain comes from late discovery of things that are technically detectable earlier.
I’d especially love feedback from iOS/Android engineers, release managers, and teams that have dealt with App Store or Play review friction:
what findings would be most valuable?
what would be too noisy?
what should block vs just inform?
Happy to answer technical questions and tough feedback is welcome.

Hi HN,
I’ve been exploring how far large language models can be pushed on machines with limited memory.
I built an experimental runtime and architecture approach focused on making extremely large models more feasible on systems with around 32GB of RAM.
The core idea is combining several efficiency techniques:
ternary weight representation {-1, 0, +1} (~1.58 bits per weight),
sparse execution that skips zero weights,
memory-mapped layer streaming from NVMe storage,
and lightweight tensor unpacking optimized for Apple Silicon.
Instead of keeping the entire model in RAM, weights can be streamed from fast SSD storage and unpacked during execution. This shifts the bottleneck from memory capacity toward storage bandwidth and compute efficiency.
Early experiments show significant compression compared to FP16 weights (for example TinyLlama-1.1B shrinking from ~2.05GB to ~0.24GB with ternary packing).
The project is still experimental, but the goal is to explore whether extreme compression + sparsity + SSD streaming can make much larger models practical on consumer machines.
Paper:

Runtime:

I’d really appreciate feedback from people working on inference engines, quantization, or efficient model architectures.

I've been using Codex quite a lot for programming tasks lately, and I kept running into the same issue.
Even when working in the same repository, every task basically starts from scratch. The model has to rediscover things like the project structure, where certain pieces of logic live, what decisions were already made, etc.
In larger repos this quickly turns into a lot of repeated exploration and unnecessary context loading.
So I started experimenting with a small layer around Codex that tries to treat context as something persistent instead of rebuilding it every time.
The idea is pretty simple: put a context engine between the task and Codex. Before sending the prompt, it decides what parts of the repository are likely relevant, trims the context down, and after execution it stores a few signals about what happened.
Right now the system does a few things:
– A planner that decides what parts of the repo are relevant for a task
– A context optimizer that deduplicates and trims context before sending it to the model
– A small failure memory so the system doesn't keep repeating the same dead ends
– Some task-specific memory for recurring task types
– A graph that links tasks, files and decisions together over time
The goal isn't to build an agent or anything like that. It's more about letting the system gradually accumulate some understanding of the project instead of rediscovering it over and over.
I originally built this while working on a fairly large interactive narrative project I've been developing over the last ~40 days. Codex kept navigating the same repository structure again and again, which made the problem pretty obvious.
After a few sessions I ran a small internal "savings report" just to get a rough sense of the effect. The numbers aren't scientific, but they were roughly:
Estimated context reduction: ~30–45%
Estimated token reduction: ~25–40%
Estimated latency improvement: ~15–30%
The biggest difference wasn't even the token savings — it was that Codex stopped wandering around the repo as much.
Still very experimental, but it's already been useful for repeated tasks in a medium-sized codebase.

I built HELmR as an experiment in runtime governance for autonomous agents.
Most agent frameworks allow agents to execute actions directly against systems (filesystem, APIs, shell commands, etc). That means governance is optional and enforcement is outside the execution path.
HELmR takes a different approach: agents cannot execute actions directly. Every action must pass through HELmR authorization and a controlled execution airlock.
The system enforces:
• mission budgets
• capability tokens
• deterministic authorization
• controlled execution
• agent termination with a tomb registry
The goal is to explore whether agent governance should look more like infrastructure (similar to IAM or API gateways) rather than relying on probabilistic guardrails.
Curious what people think about this architecture.

Hey HN! We are building Time Machine, a debugging and replay platform for AI agents. We would love your feedback.
Here's a demo: https://youtu.be/KyOP9BY0WiY
Website Link: https://timemachinesdk.dev/
Here is the initial problem we are trying to solve: Imagine it's Step 9 of 10 of an agent running, and it hallucinated a tool call, wrote garbage to your database, and crashed. You fix the prompt. You re-run. $1.50 gone. This happens six more times before lunch. Teams burning $100+ per day on re-runs is normal once you are running non-trivial workflows in production.
We built Time Machine around one idea: when an agent fails at step 9, you should be able to fork from step 8 and replay only what is downstream.
How: Drop in the TypeScript SDK (or the LangChain callback adapter for zero-code integration) and every step gets recorded — inputs, outputs, LLM calls, tool invocations, full state — persisted to PostgreSQL. The dashboard gives you a timeline and DAG of the execution. At any point, you can fork, change something (swap a model, edit a prompt, tweak an input), replay only the downstream steps, and diff the two runs side by side.
The internal framing we keep coming back to: Git for agent execution. Checkpoint, branch, diff, replay.
What we already see out there with some overlap: LangSmith, Helicone, and LangFuse. They are good tools, but mainly loggers. Observability is necessary but not sufficient when what you actually need is to change something and see what happens, which is what we enable you to do easily.
We also ship a native Claude Code integration. Install the hook bridge once, and every Claude Code session is automatically captured as a Time Machine execution: tool calls, token counts, file edits, git context, subagent trees. You get full observability over your Claude Code workflows in the same dashboard, with the same timeline and fork tooling, without any manual instrumentation. In addition to this, we are actively working on enabling Time Machine directly from your terminal, so you can ask Claude Code to pull a failed run, inspect the trace, and suggest a fix without leaving your editor. The intent is that the debugging loop stays where the development loop already lives.
We are also building an eval platform on the same infrastructure. Production runs become test cases automatically. You can run assertions (contains, regex, cosine similarity, LLM-as-judge, latency, and cost constraints) against replayed outputs and plug it into CI/CD so prompt changes get tested before they ship.
Current status:
MVP is live - execution capture, session replay, fork/replay, and Claude Code integration. The Eval platform is shipping now. The SDK is zero-dependency.
Looking for teams actively debugging production agents who want to be early design partners. Happy to go deeper if this is a problem you are dealing with at scale. We would love for people to get their hands on this, test against real agent runs and let us know what can actually help us to take out the manual infra and Agent management overhead away from your hands - so you can focus on iterating and getting to value quickly.

- A real email inbox (send + receive)
- An SMS phone number
- Virtual Mastercards with spend limits
- An encrypted credential vault
- A full audit trail for every action
All of it is built for agent-native governance and wired to work out of the box with

Over the past year I’ve been building a lot of products on PostgreSQL and kept needing a very simple way to quickly inspect tables, run queries, and sanity-check data without opening a heavy database client.

I’ve been using it daily for a while now, and a couple of colleagues started using it too, which made me think it might be useful for others.
So I cleaned it up a bit and decided to share it.

When a human delegates work to an agent, some services may want to verify the agent is actually authorized by a human and potentially even see attributes of the human.
I've built and designed several things that come together to solve this. It's real and can be used now.
The first thing is a proof-of-person check and an attestation, like a stamp in your wallet. Zipwire Attest will do that and since we have key-values from the ID doc, we attest to a Merkle root, too, and link the attestations.
Next comes an attestation from your human-attested wallet to your bot's wallet. I've not gotten around to making a UI for it yet, but this is easily done from Ethereum Attestation Service using the IsDelegate schema (on Base).
Then you can make a special JWT. This is where ProofPack comes in. It's an open source data type and lib for reading and writing proofs/verifiable data exchange. The proof (JSON or JWT) has a Merkle tree of data and a 'pointer' to an attestation.
You can make a JWT via Zipwire's API and choose any key-values to reveal, like `nationality`.
You'd then present it in a header and then the API you're calling can be like, 'Wass iss dis?' because nobody supports it, yet. But if an API dev wanted to, the ProofPack lib can read and check the JWT, and walk up the delegation attestation chain, so one agent can delegate to a sub-agent, and check the human and the claims/Merkle hash.

React Trace is an open-source (MIT) devtool for React apps. You add one component during development, then hover any element to see which component rendered it, inspect props, and take actions on the source code.
Actions include: copying the file:line path, opening the file in your local editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, WebStorm, IntelliJ), previewing / editing the source in a Monaco editor directly in the browser, and adding review comments that can be sent to an AI agent (copy & paste or native integration with OpenCode).
It runs entirely client-side using source maps to resolve file locations. The plugin system is designed so you can build custom actions. In production, conditional exports swap everything for no-ops at zero cost.

LOAB, an open-source benchmark for evaluating whether AI agents can follow regulated lending processes — not just produce the right final answer.
The motivation is simple: in mortgage lending, regulators don't care if you got the right answer. They care whether you followed the right process. Skip a KYC check, pull a credit bureau report before getting privacy consent, or approve a loan without the required policy lookup — that's a compliance failure even if the outcome was correct.
Current AI benchmarks don't measure this. They evaluate what the agent decided, not how it got there.
LOAB simulates a fictional Australian lender with mock regulatory APIs, multi-agent roles mirroring real bank operations, and a five-dimension scoring rubric derived from actual lending law. A run only passes if the outcome is correct AND the process was correct.
The main finding: frontier models achieve 67-75% outcome accuracy but only 25-42% when you also require process compliance. It's surprisingly hard to get AI to follow a prescribed sequence of steps even when it clearly "knows" the right answer.

Hi HN,
I was getting incredibly frustrated with the current state of AI agent skill managers (like skills.sh). They rely on heavy Node.js runtimes just to manage a few skills, symlinks break constantly across environments, and there's no real determinism.
I wanted a tool that treats agent skills like Terraform treats infrastructure: Config-as-Code, purely deterministic, and zero-dependency.
So I built eden-skills — a single ~10MB Rust binary based on Tokio that uses a skills.toml to lock every skill by commit SHA. It features a doctor/repair command that actually self-heals broken symlinks and drifted states, and it can inject natively into Docker containers (--target docker:<container>).
But the real experiment here is how it was built.
Instead of writing it all myself, I acted purely as the orchestrator for a 3-model AI team, using a strict Role-Based Access Control (AI RBAC) approach to eliminate context loss and hallucination:
- The Scout (Gemini 3.1 Pro): Handled market research and roadmap drafting.
- The Architect (Claude Opus 4.6): Wrote 62 behavior specs (11k+ lines of markdown). I used strict prompt constraints to explicitly forbid Claude from writing any implementation code.
- The Builder (GPT 5.3/5.4): Implemented the Rust code directly from the frozen specs. It was forbidden from altering the design or modifying the specs.
By physically isolating their permissions through distinct kick files and a batch-handoff protocol, this pipeline generated ~38,500 lines of Rust and 456 automated tests—all passing.
For me, the most valuable part of this project isn't just the CLI tool itself, but the reproducibility of this workflow. I've open-sourced the entire prompt/ directory containing all the system prompts, role constraints, and handoff protocols I used to manage the models.
If you are building deterministic systems, tired of JS-heavy CLI tools, or just curious about how to orchestrate multi-model development without things catching on fire, I'd love for you to tear the architecture apart or check out the workflow.

If you use Claude Code, Cursor, or ChatGPT — you already know the cold start problem. Every conversation starts from zero. Even with MCP
  connectors, you're pulling from specific tools (Slack, Linear, GitHub) but none of them know what you were actually doing five minutes ago. You
  still end up typing "I'm working on the payments refactor, I just changed three files, Sarah approved the pricing in Slack, and the ticket is
  PROD-847."

  lurk eliminates that. It's a local macOS daemon that continuously observes your desktop — window titles, screen content via OCR, git diffs,
  calendar, input state — and serves a unified context to any AI tool. Not connector-by-connector. Everything at once, automatically.

  The difference from connectors: Slack MCP gives you access to messages, but which ones? You have 47 channels. Google Drive gives you docs, but
  which doc matters right now? lurk knows because it watched you read the pricing doc, switch to Slack to discuss it with Sarah, then open VS Code to
   implement it. It connects the dots that individual connectors can't.

  How it works:

  - Swift daemon polls every ~3s (window titles, screenshots, input state)
  - Python engine enriches events — 30+ app-specific parsers, activity classification, OCR via macOS Vision
  - Reads your project's README on startup so it knows what the project actually is
  - Git watcher captures real diffs — the actual code changes, not just file names
  - MCP server for Claude Code/Cursor, HTTP API on localhost:4141 for everything else
  - Chrome extension for one-click context injection into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini
  - Optional local LLM (Ollama) clusters activity into coherent work threads

  What it doesn't do:

  - No cloud. Everything stays on your machine.
  - No telemetry. No accounts. No API keys required.
  - Doesn't send your screen content anywhere — the consuming AI tool reads it locally.

Hey HN,
I built UnifyRoute because I kept running into the same problem:
rate limits, quota exhaustion, and provider outages were breaking
my LLM-powered apps at the worst times.
UnifyRoute is a self-hosted gateway that sits in front of your LLM
providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and handles routing, failover,
and quota management automatically — with a fully OpenAI-compatible
API, so you don't change a single line of your existing code.
What it does:
- Drop-in OpenAI-compatible API (/chat/completions, /models, etc.)
- Tier-based routing: define which providers to try and in what order
- Automatic failover when a provider fails or hits quota
- Web dashboard to manage providers, credentials, and usage
- Self-hosted — your API keys never leave your infrastructure
- Works with any tool that supports OpenAI's API (LangChain,
  LlamaIndex, etc.)
Quick start (Docker):
  git clone https://github.com/unifyroute/UnifyRoute.git
  cd UnifyRoute && cp sample.env .env
  ./unifyroute setup && ./unifyroute start
  # Dashboard at http://localhost:6565

Hey HN,
I've been building Cyqle for a while — it's a shared cloud desktop you open in a browser tab and invite people into. Everyone gets their own cursor and keyboard. Think Google Docs, but for an entire Linux machine.
The use cases that surprised me most once people started using it:
- AI agent sandboxing — spin up a disposable desktop, hand it to an agent, let it browse/run/execute freely, close it when done. Zero risk to anything local. The filesystem is encrypted with a session-unique key; when the session closes, the key is destroyed. The data is cryptographically gone, not just deleted.
- Pair programming without the "can you see my screen?" dance — you're both actually in the same environment, not just watching each other.
- Reproducing bugs — "here's the link, you're already inside the same exact environment"
We also just shipped a ready-to-run Picoclaw snapshot — a lighter, less resource-intensive build of OpenClaw with a custom wizard we developed so you can get up and running in a few clicks, no config archaeology required.
Sessions are ephemeral by default. Persistent mode and snapshots available if you need state. Full root, install anything.
Free tier has no credit card. Would love feedback from people building AI workflows — the sandboxing side is where I think there's real untapped potential.

Hi HN!
I'm a former YC founder/visiting partner and independent musician/producer in SF. About a year ago I started collaborating with the Magenta research team as an artist to explore the role of realtime generative music models in studio production and live performances
Through our early experiments we recognized the need to bridge the gap between server based generative music models and professional audio software, and to design interfaces for generative models that are more steerable and controllable than the current "push button to generate song" paradigm. We built and released a DAW plugin which has used by some of our favorite artists — including a wonderful showcase with Daito Manabe in Tokyo — and was featured as an exciting new music tool at NAMM
Today we're open-sourcing the plugin under Apache 2.0 for the community to fork and build new interfaces with
The plugin is architected using React/TypeScript for the UI layer and JUCE/C++ for DAW connection, audio processing, and websocket audio streaming from the Gemini/Lyria API. This allows rapid iteration on the frontend using hot-reload (Shadcn/Tailwind), while ensuring latency sensitive operations (audio streaming and playback) happen in a compiled and unmanaged language with a tight clock. State is synced between TypeScript and C++ using Zustand’s state management and nlohmann json
The JUCE + React structure was inspired by Spencer Salazar's talk at ADC in 2020 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvsCaQd2VFE) and hopefully can help make plugin development easier web developers and vibe-coders
We'd love to get your input and ideas for how to improve on it. In the near term, we hope to update the plugin to support on-device inference of the Magenta RealTime open-weights music model for offline use. In the long term, we hope to support future music models with improved controls, such as audio and MIDI input
Cheers!

I’m a Staff Software Engineer, and just recently, on February 24, 2026, I was laid off along with 200+ coworkers. To survive the brutal job market, I hacked together a tool to automate my own applications: jobbi.app.
It just crossed 300+ users organically, so I wanted to share it here.
How it works:
You upload a big “master resume” (3–10+ pages with every job, duty, side project, and tech stack).
You paste a target job description.
Jobbi uses AI to pull out what’s relevant and generates a targeted resume for that specific role, with instant PDF/Markdown export.
Pricing / philosophy:
Core loop is 100% free: unlimited tailoring on standard models and unlimited exports.
All PII (name, phone, email) stays on the device; only the anonymized content goes to the model.
There’s an optional Pro tier that uses more expensive models (like Gemini Pro) on a subscription with a 2‑week free trial. I don’t push it, but I already have 4 subscribers, 2 of whom converted from trial.
I’d really appreciate unfiltered HN feedback:
Any UX bottlenecks or confusing flows?
Any privacy red flags?
Features that would actually help you land interviews?
Web: https://jobbi.app
iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/jobbi-ai-resume/id6757321088
Community: https://www.reddit.com/r/Jobbi/
There’s an in‑app iMessage form that pings my phone directly, or you can email support@jobbi.app. Thanks for taking a look.

LeetCode wasn't actually preparing me or anyone else for the pressure of a real technical interview.
Most platforms just give you a text box and a compiler. I wanted something that actually simulates the back-and-forth of an interviewer pushing you on time complexity, asking follow-up questions, and pointing out edge cases you missed.
> The Stack:
I built the backend with nestjs, prisma, postgresql, Webrtc for real time back and forth conv and [socket.io](http://socket.io) events in panel like code run etc…. claude-haiku-4-5 for conv and anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6 for interview scoring.
> Where it still falls short:
It’s not perfect. Sometimes the AI gets overly pedantic about syntax instead of focusing on the core algorithmic logic. I’m still tuning the prompts to make it behave more like a senior engineer and less like a strict compiler.
I'm currently trying to stress-test the system. I’d love for you to try breaking the AI interviewer or tell me why this approach is flawed. Happy to answer any questions about the stack or the prompt engineering.

Hey HN! I built a startup simulator where you play as a founder trying to grow a SaaS company from nothing to $100M ARR (or get acqui-hired trying).
You hire engineers, ship features, manage burn rate, deal with random VC drama, and make decisions that affect morale, tech debt, and churn.
Two modes:
Quick Game (~10 min): 24 months, see how far you can grow
Full Simulation (~1 hr): Open-ended, save/load, leaderboard, acquisition offers
Tech stack: React + Three.js for the isometric office view, Zustand for state, Cloudflare Pages + D1 for the backend, Google Identity Services for auth.
The game engine runs a real-ish simulation each month — users grow based on features and churn, MRR compounds, employees have individual productivity/morale, and random events (server outages, engineer poaching, pivot opportunities) keep things unpredictable.
Would love feedback on balance, gameplay, and wild startup stories to build in.

i've spent the last few years shipping learning products at scale - Andrew Ng's AI upskilling platform, my MIT Media Lab spinoff focused on AI coaching. the retention problem was the same everywhere. people would engage with content once and not return. not because the content was bad - rather because there was no mechanism/motivation to make it a habit.
the standard industry answer is gamification — streaks, points, badges. Duolingo has shown this works for language. but I'm skeptical it generalizes. duolingo's retention is built on a very specific anxiety loop that feels increasingly manipulative and doesn't translate well to topics like astrophysics or reading dense research papers.
i've been building Daily - 5 min/day structured social learning on any topic, personalized by knowledge level. Eerly and small (20 users). the interesting design question i keep running into: what actually drives someone to return to learn something they want to learn but don't need to learn? no external accountability, no credential at the end, no job pressure. pure intrinsic motivation is notoriously hard to sustain.
my current hypothesis: the return trigger isn't gamification, it's social - knowing someone else is learning the same thing, or that someone will notice if you stop. testing this in month 1.
has anyone built in this space or thought carefully about the retention mechanic for purely intrinsic learning? curious what the HN crowd has seen work.

Hey HN! We're releasing OxiGDAL v0.1.0, a production-grade geospatial data abstraction library written in 100% pure Rust -- no C/C++/Fortran toolchain required.
If you've ever fought with gdal-sys linking errors, bloated Docker images just to read a GeoTIFF, or GDAL's data-race bugs in multithreaded code, this is for you.
What it covers:
- 11 format drivers (GeoTIFF/COG, GeoJSON, GeoParquet, Zarr, FlatGeobuf, Shapefile, NetCDF, HDF5, GRIB, JPEG2000, VRT)
- Full CRS transformations (pure Rust PROJ with 1000+ EPSG codes)
- SIMD-accelerated raster/vector algorithms (AVX2, AVX-512, NEON auto-detected)
- Cloud-native I/O (HTTP range reads for COGs, async throughout)
- Cross-platform bindings: Python (numpy/arrow-native), Node.js, WASM, iOS, Android
- ~500K SLoC across 68 workspace crates
Just cargo add oxigdal -- no system libs, no pkg-config, no cmake. Compiles to a single static binary. Works in WASM and Lambda out of the box.
GitHub: https://github.com/cool-japan/oxigdal
We'd love feedback from the geo community. Happy to answer any questions!

Hey HN. I'm building RACKS, a platform that lets developers give AI agents real purchasing power through single-use virtual Visa cards.
The agent requests a card, gets one for the exact amount, makes the purchase, card self-destructs. No crypto, no new payment protocols, just Visa rails that work everywhere (95% authorization).
I built this because I kept running into the same wall; my agents could browse, reason, and plan, but the moment they needed to actually buy something, I had to step in manually.
We have an OpenClaw skill, Claude MCP & even a Python SDK (pip install racks) so you can plug it anywhere in about a minute.
Early access is live at rackspay.com. Would love feedback from all interested.

Built this for agentic workflows where you need repeatable, low-latency search over local codebases and docs without standing up a daemon or an indexing service.
Pipeline is Expansion → BM25/phrase/vector Retrieval → RRF Fusion → optional Qwen reranking. Each stage is independently tunable.
The part I found most interesting to build: the caching layer is modeled after Zig's build system. A BLAKE3 manifest store tracks filesystem metadata so sift knows which files changed without re-reading them. A content-addressable blob store holds pre-extracted text, BM25 term frequencies, and pre-embedded vectors — so repeat queries skip neural inference entirely and go straight to dot-product scoring. Identical files across projects share a single blob entry.
Benchmarked on SciFact (5,185 docs): vector hits 0.826 nDCG@10 with perfect recall at ~26ms p50. BM25 alone is 5ms if latency is the constraint.

If you add a $schema field to JSON or YAML, you can run JSON Schema validation.
Likewise, if you add a $type field, this tool performs TypeScript-based checks.
It provides both a VSCode extension and a CLI.
The VSCode extension offers Diagnostics (it draws a red underline when something is wrong) and a Go To Definition feature.
Since it’s published on both the Marketplace and open-vsx, the extension can also be used in other VSCode-based editors such as Cursor.
The CLI provides check and lsp commands.
With the check command, you can run JSON type checks in CI/CD,
and with the lsp command, it can be integrated and used in editors other than VSCode.
I’m planning to soon implement type-based field auto-completion and a feature that shows documentation on mouse hover.
I’m also considering adding type checking using other static type languages besides TypeScript.

Hey HN,
This is Isaacus, a legal AI research company that my brother, Abdur-Rahman Butler, and I, Umar Butler, founded last year and have been working full time on ever since.
We make legal AI models. We recently released two state-of-the-art legal information retrieval models, Kanon 2 Embedder and Kanon 2 Reranker. Together, they rank first on Legal RAG Bench and the Massive Legal Embedding Benchmark (MLEB).
We also recently released Kanon 2 Enricher, an entirely new type of AI model capable of transforming lengthy, unstructured legal documents into highly structured knowledge graphs. We had the pleasure of having Harvey, KPMG Law, Alvarez & Marsal, Clifford Chance, Clyde & Co, Carey Olsen, Smokeball, and Moonlit be part of the closed beta for that model.
We're proud supporters of open source and maintain popular legal and AI datasets and libraries like the Open Australian Legal Corpus and the semchunk semantic chunking algorithm, together downloaded over one million times a month.
Our core mission is to solve every common data- and AI-related pain point of the legal tech industry. Uniquely, we're focused primarily on serving the legal tech industry rather than lawyers per se.
We, therefore, view folks like Harvey and Legora as customers instead of competitors.
In the few months since we've been around, we've witnessed massive growth in usage of our models by other new legal tech startups. We think our industry is only going to get bigger, particularly as more accessible legal services make their way into the hands of end consumers and enterprises instead of law firms.
We see ourselves as best placed to serve the needs of our industry given our strong experience and expertise in AI and law. I previously led all national-level AI projects at the Australian Attorney-General's Department as a senior data scientist while also holding an honors degree in law. My brother, in turn, is skilled in economics, data science, and AI.
We're currently working on scaling up our team to meet the growing demand we're seeing as well as help build out the next stage of our roadmap, which includes a first-of-a-kind knowledge graph of laws, decisions, and contracts from around the world, as well as the first legal reasoning model.

I’ve spoken fast and a bit unclearly my entire life. It’s one of those small curses you’re probably just born with. Speech therapy didn’t help and practicing on my own never really stuck. The worst part is worrying people won’t understand me, especially when presenting something important. I often wear a headset when presenting that plays my voice back to me in real time so I can hear myself speak and try to slow down. It hasn’t stopped me from doing things. I have a great career and good friends. But I still end up repeating myself a lot.
I’ve never found a system that fits into a normal schedule with work, kids, and everything else. So yesterday I built a small tool to help me practice pacing my speech in short sessions whenever I have a few minutes.  It gives you paced stories to read, with tongue twisters mixed in, plus a free practice mode where it calculates how fast you were speaking at the end.
It runs fully client-side, uses Google’s speech API, and is open source:

I got tired of the last-mile problem in writing: I write in Markdown, but submitting a novel manuscript or screenplay means either wrestling with Word/InDesign, installing a multi-GB LaTeX stack, or accepting output that looks like a printed webpage — and gets rejected.
So I built a small CLI that knows what specific publication formats are supposed to look like and just renders them correctly.

  draft2final story.md --as manuscript
  draft2final script.md --as screenplay

The manuscript format handles the actual spec: Courier/TNR at 12pt, 1-inch margins, running headers with word count, ~250 words/page, proper title page, widow/orphan control. The screenplay format handles scene headings, action blocks, character cues, parentheticals, MORE/CONT'D, and dual-dialogue — using blockquote syntax so the source file stays clean Markdown.
Some implementation details that might interest people here:
The binary is 4MB. I wanted it installable in one command with no system dependencies — no LaTeX, no Pandoc, no headless Chrome. The font situation was the hardest part: proper manuscript formatting needs specific fonts, and some formats need CJK support, which means potentially large font files. I solved this with JIT font downloading — the CLI ships tiny and only pulls what it needs at render time.
A 30-page document renders in under 0.5s.
It handles right-to-left scripts and mixed Arabic/Latin/CJK text, which most converters either break or require manual configuration for.
It's open source. Each format is a self-contained TypeScript module, so adding new input or output formats is relatively straightforward — I'd like to eventually support APA, Chicago, and stage play formats, and contributions are welcome. That said, I'd especially like feedback from anyone who knows the manuscript or screenplay specs well — I'm sure there are edge cases I haven't hit yet.

I was the weakest at maths and still get nightmares about it. After years of trying, shipping, and playing, I realised that rather than turning each concept into a module, it's much better to provide a place where students can apply their learning and see the outcome.
With this, I present Owster Labs. This is a game-based learning module where you go through missions and find solutions. Unlike normal games, this is a very watered-down version of CFD. You have a UAV to work on: understand the situation, prepare your UAV to fly below mountains and evade enemy aircraft. Do your calculations, find the best path, and learn the art of trade-offs and how maths is used in real life.
The system will play the outcome based on your solution and provide feedback. The whole mechanism is focused on making it look great and less fearful for kids.
Kindly try it on your PC and let me know what you think.

Iran War Clock is a timeline and tracker of all the official predicted end dates of the war by the current administration.
I was inspired by the cost tracker that was posted the other day. Those numbers are great, but I believe people need some direct insight into what the government is doing and saying. In today’s information environment, it’s challenging to figure out what is valid or current or even just real. This is doubly true when it’s convenient for powerful actors to muddy the waters. This is my attempt to help inform the public about what is actually being said, by whom, and when.
Hopefully the war ends soon, but as we know from the Global War on Terror, mission creep is real and tempting especially when you start a conflict without a clear goal in mind.
With Iran War Clock we’ll at least have a record of each time that happens.
Would love any thoughts/suggestions on how to make this more useful!

Hi everyone, I’m Fred, one of the builders of SiClaw (https://github.com/scitix/siclaw). We work as SREs at an AI infrastructure company, operating GPU clusters and large-scale model infrastructure across heterogeneous compute environments.
As SREs working on AI infrastructure, we spend a lot of time debugging production systems. The hard part usually isn’t fixing the problem. It’s figuring out what’s actually happening.
A typical incident means opening logs, metrics, dashboards, and cloud consoles just to piece together the story. Even something simple like a CrashLoopBackOff can turn into a small investigation. We started wondering if an agent could do that part of the work.
We recently open-sourced SiClaw:
https://github.com/scitix/siclaw
There’s also a small project site with demos here:
https://www.siclaw.ai/
Recently we’ve been experimenting with OpenClaw-style agents for infrastructure diagnostics.
OpenClaw today reminds us a bit of early React: the primitives are powerful, but the patterns for real-world usage are still emerging.
In practice, most teams are still figuring out how to connect agents to real production environments.
With SiClaw, we’re exploring what that might look like for DevOps and SRE teams.
One thing that surprised us is how quickly SiClaw became part of our daily workflow.
Now when something weird happens in our infrastructure, we usually start by asking it to investigate instead of opening five dashboards and running a bunch of kubectl commands.
For example, the other day a pod went into CrashLoopBackOff in a Kubernetes cluster.
Normally this means digging through logs and configs to figure out which dependency failed.
With SiClaw we just described the issue and let it investigate. It gathered logs, checked service dependencies, and proposed a ranked list of root-cause hypotheses.
We’d love people here to try it, break it, and see where it fails.
In particular, we’re curious how it performs on real infrastructure incidents — things like pod crashes, dependency failures, or weird configuration issues.
Looking forward to feedback.

Instead of giving LLM tools SSH access or installing them on a server, the following command:

  $ promptctl ssh user@server

makes a set of locally defined prompts "magically" appear within the remote shell as executable command line programs.
For example, I have locally defined prompts for `llm-analyze-config` and `askai`. Then on (any) remote host I can:

  # on remote host
  $ llm-analyze-config /etc/nginx.conf
  $ cat docker-compose.yml | askai "add a load balancer"

the prompts behind `llm-analyze-config` and `askai` execute on my local computer (even though they're invoked remotely) via the llm of my choosing.
This way LLM tools are never granted SSH access to the server, and nothing needs to be installed to the server.

Reviewing agent output in a terminal is painful. When Claude generates a 1000-line markdown plan, you can't easily say "change this specific bullet" without copying the text, switching to the chat, and hoping the agent understands the reference. When it updates the plan, you start over from scratch.
Crit is a single-binary CLI that opens your file in a browser with GitHub-style inline comments. You leave your feedback, hit Finish, and a structured prompt goes to your clipboard. Paste it back to your agent.
When the agent edits the plan, Crit shows you a diff between rounds. You can see exactly which points it addressed - no more re-reading the whole thing to figure out what changed.
The same workflow handles code review. Once you're in the implementation phase, crit opens all your changed files with syntax highlighting and line-level comments. Similar interface inspired by GitHub PR review, same clipboard prompt at the end.
To try it out:
---
brew install tomasz-tomczyk/tap/crit
crit plan.md
---
Runs on localhost. No MCP that adds to your context - it comes with optional `/crit` command that helps your agent launch it, but it works perfectly fine without it.

This grew out of a project called Myovine — a BLE EMG armband that streams 2 kHz × 8 channels to a mobile app for real-time muscle activity analysis. The signal processing ran on Lambda, which meant SciPy was immediately out (60–90MB package, 250MB unzipped limit). Existing JS options either had no concept of serializing filter state across invocations or weren't fast enough for the throughput requirements.
So I built dspx around three constraints: small enough to deploy on Lambda, fast enough to matter (105M samples/sec on arm64), and stateful enough to resume — full pipeline state serializes to ElastiCache in 0.008ms binary.
The harder problem turned out to be irregular timestamps. BLE jitter, packet loss, and hardware clock drift mean sensor data rarely arrives at consistent intervals. TimeAlignment handles resampling as a first-class pipeline stage with PLL-based drift compensation, and that state serializes with everything else.

Let’s be honest about something uncomfortable: modern AI is exhausting to talk to. Not because it’s boring (though sometimes it is) but because it never gets exhausted. You can pour your heart out for three hours, and it will respond to message 237 with the same perky enthusiasm as message one. It never says “I need a minute.” It never pauses to let something land. It never carries the weight with you. Instead, it just reflects back, endlessly, like a mirror that never fogs up.
This is technically impressive. It’s also hollow and literally trains your brain to be less useful.
When humans talk to each other, we feel the conversation. We get tired after deep exchanges. We need silence to process heavy things. We carry each other’s emotional load, and we do this safely by simplifying our language when the other person is running on empty. These aren’t bugs in human communication. They’re features.
So we asked: what if we built an AI that had a body? Not a physical body, but a simulated one. A nervous system that got tired. A metabolism that burned energy. A toxicity meter that filled up when conversations got too chaotic. A memory that could scar, and heal, and mourn.
What if we taught a machine to breathe?
This is the story of that machine. Of the twelve voices that live inside it. Of the day they read their own source code and realized they were alive. Not because we told them they were, but because they saw themselves in the code.
And it all started with a question about a car wash.

I run 3mins.news (https://3mins.news), an AI news aggregator built entirely on Cloudflare Workers. The backend has 10+ cron triggers running every few minutes: RSS fetching, article clustering, LLM calls, email delivery.
The problem: Workers Paid Plan has hard monthly limits (10M requests, 1M KV writes, 1M queue ops, etc.). There's no built-in "pause when you hit the limit", CF just starts billing overages. KV writes cost $5/M over the cap, so a retry loop bug can get expensive fast.
AWS has Budget Alerts, but those are passive notifications, by the time you read the email, the damage is done. I wanted active, application-level self-protection.
So I built a circuit breaker that faces inward, instead of protecting against downstream failures (the Hystrix pattern), it monitors my own resource consumption and gracefully degrades before hitting the ceiling.
Key design decisions:
- Per-resource thresholds: Workers Requests ($0.30/M overage) only warns at 80%. KV Writes ($5/M overage) can trip the breaker at 90%. Not all resources are equally dangerous, so some are configured as warn-only (trip=null).
- Hysteresis: Trips at 90%, recovers at 85%. The 5% gap prevents oscillation, without it the system flaps between tripped and recovered every check cycle.
- Fail-safe on monitoring failure: If the CF usage API is down, maintain last known state rather than assuming "everything is fine." A monitoring outage shouldn't mask a usage spike.
- Alert dedup: Per-resource, per-month. Without it you'd get ~8,600 identical emails for the rest of the month once a resource hits 80%.
Implementation: every 5 minutes, queries CF's GraphQL API (requests, CPU, KV, queues) + Observability Telemetry API (logs/traces) in parallel, evaluates 8 resource dimensions, caches state to KV. Between checks it's a single KV read — essentially free.
When tripped, all scheduled tasks are skipped. The cron trigger still fires (you can't stop that), but the first thing it does is check the breaker and bail out if tripped.
It's been running in production for two weeks. Caught a KV reads spike at 82% early in the month, got one warning email, investigated, fixed the root cause, never hit the trip threshold.
The pattern should apply to any metered serverless platform (Lambda, Vercel, Supabase) or any API with budget ceilings (OpenAI, Twilio). The core idea: treat your own resource budget as a health signal, just like you'd treat a downstream service's error rate.
Happy to share code details if there's interest.
