A browser-based RTS inspired by Warcraft 2, Age of Empires &amp; Starcraft. 9 factions, 200+ units, fog of war, tech trees, naval combat, multiplayer, and AI opponents.

Flat chunking throws away document structure. A PDF isn’t a bag of paragraphs. It has sections, subsections, and a hierarchy that carries meaning. An agent that can’t navigate that structure can’t do serious research.<p>I ran into this building RAG over scientific literature. The standard approach (embed chunks, find top-k, generate) works fine for simple Q&amp;A but falls apart when you need real...

I run a Claude Code agent 24&#x2F;7 on a Mac Mini. After a few months my morning routine was gone and I was reviewing agent output at midnight. Built this to teach it boundaries.<p>The interesting part ended up being the error registry. Agents fail silently way more than you&#x27;d expect. Same error repeats 50 times burning tokens before you notice.<p>Zero dependencies, Python stdlib only. Would ...

We built AKI.IO because we needed a way to run open-source models (like Minimax, GLM, Qwen3, Llama3, Flux etc.) in production without managing our own GPU clusters, while keeping data within EU jurisdiction. It&#x27;s a managed API that aims to be a drop-in replacement for the OpenAI&#x2F;Anthropic API spec, so you can switch the base URL in your existing code. Under the hood, it routes requests t...

Vibe check shares benchmarking insights on any vibe coded URLs like: Make, Lovable, Claude code, V0, etc. Provide a link and we&#x27;ll share your &#x27;time-to-value&#x27;.

Background: I&#x27;ve been building openboot for the Mac setup side of this problem — getting a new machine configured in minutes instead of hours. The agent integration came later when I noticed the same trial-and-error pattern showing up in Claude Code.<p>Happy to answer questions about how the dep detection works. That part was more interesting to build than the rule file itself.

Built because I wanted Gmail to feel simpler. Built for myself, then realized why not give it to the world too.<p>Nothing is badly broken, but a lot of small things add friction: conversation order, collapsed messages, visual clutter, and newer UI elements that feel more distracting than useful.<p>It’s a small Chrome extension that changes a few of those things.<p>Right now it mainly:<p>* reverses...

I built a groovebox for making loops: techno, house, acid, anything electronic that works in loops.<p>No install, no account.<p>The idea is simple: a groove is a URL.

I find Claude code to be a token hog. No matter how confidently the papers say context rot is not an issue I find curating context to be highly important to output quality. Manually managing this in the Claude Webui has helped with my use cases more than freely tossing Claude code at it. Likely I am using both &quot;wrong&quot; but the way I use it is easier for me to reason about and minimize con...

Opal is a CLI that provides a TUI to run Gitlab pipelines locally.<p>It tries to achieve as much compatibility with Gitlab pipelines as it makes sense to help developers get a fast feedback loop by running their jobs locally. On MacOS it uses the Apple Container CLI to spin up fast containers - you can customize the VM specs for this, but it&#x27;s also compatible with Docker and Podman. On Linux...

Yesterday (pro plan) I ran one small conversation in which Claude did one set of three web searches, a very small conversation with no web search, and I added a single prompt to an existing long conversation. I was shocked to see after the last prompt that I had somehow hit my limit until 5:00pm. This account is not connected to an IDE or Code, super confusing.

Every AI workflow tool I&#x27;ve seen works the same way: bolt AI on top of an existing builder, inheriting all its boundaries. Zyk flips that. Claude is the interface. You describe what you want, it builds and deploys it. Retries, scheduling, human-in-the-loop approval all built in. Zyk UI handles diagrams, task list, and run history. Hatchet runs durable execution underneath. The demo is a GitHu...

The distinction between wish list and contract is real. CLAUDE.md tells the agent what you want but can&#x27;t enforce it. The enforcement has to happen downstream - hooks for deterministic rules (formatting, test runs, linting), but risk scoring for the non-deterministic stuff (did it introduce a security vulnerability? did it touch auth middleware without tests?). The model will cheerfully ignor...

When I ask the LLM to try and solve a problem that turns out to be difficult or impossible to solve, I&#x27;ve found it will absolutely lose the plot.<p>I feel like a human would give up a lot quicker and start to learn where the limits are. Claude spins in circles convinced it&#x27;s finally found a solution. Again. And again. And eventually gets back to where it started.

&gt; Magnificent 7 companies are increasing capex to their biggest ever to differentiate their tech from each other and the big AI labs, but the key realization is that they don’t have to spend it to win.

Completely agree. Every SaaS tool will come with an MCP or an API to leverage composability. We can unlock useful functionalities from Claude Code and other aggregators (terminology from the post) to be able to compose different MCP&#x27;s from different SaaS.

Abstract -<p>General-purpose AI agents can reason, plan, and execute — but they cannot perform well in a specific operational domain without local knowledge. We argue that the gap between general intelligence and domain effectiveness is filled entirely by knowledge, and that the scaffolding commonly built for domain agents — skills, routes, SOPs, policies — are all knowledge encoded in different f...

I have spent a long time working in an XP&#x2F;TDD style, so when AI coding tools became useful enough for real work, I adopted them quickly.

Hi HN!<p>I&#x27;ve been very unimpressed with how LLMs think when it comes to anything creative.

Claude Code uses Ink (React for CLIs) which positions text via cursor moves. When you copy text from its terminal output, each line gets padded with trailing spaces to fill the terminal width, and every line gets a consistent leading indent from the UI chrome. The result is text that looks right in the terminal but pastes like garbage.<p>I assumed this was a hard problem — that the copy operation ...

&gt;Knowledge distillation works like this: you take a large model, have it perform tasks with detailed reasoning, then feed those reasoning traces to a smaller model until the student learns to mimic the teacher.

Worth noting this is intentionally headless — no UI shipped. The bet is that between MCP and AI code gen tools, the bottleneck is no longer the frontend, it’s having a solid typed API behind it.

AI agents can make data visualizations now. Ask Manus, Claude, or ChatGPT to chart a dataset and you&#x27;ll get something back in seconds. The output is almost always... fine. Functional. Generic. The kind of chart that communicates data but doesn&#x27;t communicate insight. In this post, I experimented with how to make AI agents visualize data better.

Agentic AI is powerful, but most people never experience it — it&#x27;s trapped behind text commands and dev tools.<p>MUP (Model UI Protocol) lets you embed interactive UI directly in LLM chat.

Hi HN, I built this because I kept pasting client data and API keys into ChatGPT without thinking.<p>It detects 15+ types of PII as you type, masks them with placeholders like [PERSON_A] before sending, then unmasks the AI&#x27;s response. Everything runs locally — no servers, no data collection, zero network requests. You can verify in DevTools.<p>Built as a solo project using Claude Code.<p>Chro...

Hey HN,<p>I spent the last 20 years building enterprise software and cybersecurity tools. Last year I started using AI agents for real work — and got terrified.

MCP servers let AI assistants (Claude, Copilot, Cursor) interact with databases, APIs, and filesystems.

I ran into this with Claude too. Using the gh CLI worked far better than the GitHub MCP.

Hi HN, I built AgentHub because I was frustrated by the trade-offs required to build multi-model agents in 2026.

AI agents are getting more capable, but we&#x27;re increasingly in the dark about what they&#x27;re actually doing. They run complex multi-step workflows, call dozens of tools, reason through problems - and we just watch the output scroll by. It&#x27;s a black box, and humans end up being led around by the agent rather than understanding it.<p>I wanted to flip this. The key insight: all these agen...

Very anecdotal but for me this model has very weak prompt adherence. I compared it a tiny bit to gemini flash 3.0 and simple things like &quot;don&#x27;t use markdown tables in output&quot; was very hard to get with m2.1<p>Took me like 5 prompt iterations until it finally listened.<p>But it&#x27;s very good, better than flash 3.0 in terms of code output and reasoning while being cheaper.

This is a reproducible technical report on how ChatGPT’s UI may hide backend model details via CSS. The DOM includes model strings like GPT-5-2, but CSS properties like `clip-path`, `opacity:0`, and `user-select:none` prevent users from seeing or selecting them.

It has no idea that words can mean anything.<p>This argument does a great job anthropomorphizing ChatGPT while trying to discredit it.<p>The part of this rant I agree with is &quot;Doing your own computing via software running on someone else&#x27;s server inherently trashes your com...

I prefer using LLM. But many people will ask what is an LLM and then I use AI and they get it. Unfortunate.<p>At the same time, LLMs are not a bullshit generator. They do not know the meaning of what they generate but the output is important to us. It is like saying a cooker knows the egg is being boiled. I care about the egg, cooker can do its job without knowing what an egg is. Still very valuab...

Can&#x27;t help but wonder if this was motivated in part by people feeding papers into LLMs for summary, search, or review. PDF is awful for LLMs. You&#x27;re effectively pigeonholed into using (PAYING for) Adobe&#x27;s proprietary app and models which barely hold a candle to Gemini or Claude. There are PDF-to-text converters, but they often munge up the formatting.

And since you can include real code, the output becomes predictable, not “vibes-based.”<p>I’ve been testing them for scaffo...

Claude Code is great, but it’s focused on coding. The missing piece is a native way to build and run custom background agents for non-code tasks. We built RowboatX as a CLI tool modeled after Claude Code that lets you do that. It uses the file system and unix tools to create and monitor background agents for everyday tasks, connect them to any MCP server for tools, and reason over their outputs.<p...

Hey everyone, I'm working on a personal project (AI for agriculture) and I just spent 20+ hours non-stop fine-tuning Qwen2.5-Omni-3B. I’d like your opinion: is what I did considered complex, or did I just suffer for nothing? My goal Fine-tune the model on my dataset (17 specialized conversation examples) WITHOUT losing the multimodal abilities (audio, vision, video). No way I was going to drop t...

I’ve been using ChatGPT since the early GPT-4 releases and have watched each version evolve, sometimes for the better and sometimes in strange directions. 5.1 feels like the first real step backward. The problem isn’t accuracy. It’s the loss of flow. This version constantly second-guesses itself in real time. You can see it start a coherent thought and then abruptly stop to reassure you that it’s...

Hey everyone!<p>I&#x27;m the dev behind this. Started as a weekend project because I kept getting sticker shock from my OpenAI bills. I&#x27;d use GPT-4 for literally everything - even &quot;fix this typo&quot; type requests that cost 20x more than they should.<p>The breakthrough was realizing most requests don&#x27;t actually need the expensive models. So I built quality detection that tries th...

It&#x27;s a drop-in replacement that automatically routes requests to cheaper models when possible, but falls back to premium ones when quality matters.<p>How it works: js &#x2F;&#x2F; Just swap this: const openai = new OpenAI({ apiKey: &#x27;...

It did not go well, but 5.1’s responses compounded the issue. I won’t post all...

Hello everyone. I'm using Lovable, Claude Code, and Codex to code an app together via GitHub synchronization. I'm looking for a solution to get Code and Codex to handle UX/UI improvements as well as Lovable does. Currently, Lovable is significantly better at managing the interface, but it's also much more expensive. I'd therefore like to bring Code and Codex up to its level, but so far all my att...

Introduction Latent Space in AI is the compressed, lower-dimensional representation of data used in AI to capture essential features and patterns. Where similar points cluster together closely. AI uses this space to make meaningful connections and generate outputs based on the patterns it has processed. I’ve made an interesting testable observation; the tone of input can influence the depth, ela...
