Most AI tools allow you to opt-out of sharing your usage with the model provider to improve future versions. Meta has taken that idea and put a price tag on it.

I started this project six months ago. While the market already had decent AI harnesses, none of them felt like they had what I actually needed. What began as a simple, minimalist tool quickly grew into one of my most ambitious projects. I started with basic tool calling and streaming, but that wasn't enough. I wanted a full-fledged application where I could build my own apps and that required testing and maturity. I needed local artifacts where I could easily revert unwanted file changes, an editor to view and modify project files directly, a memory tab to review past prompts and code changeβ¦

Hi HN. We built an API context registry to help coding agents (like Claude Code) generate production-ready API integration code without blowing through token limits. We build a lot of API integrations. In our experience, most coding agents write basic client calls fine, but consistently stumble on details that make code shippable, like idempotent retries, rate-limiting and Auth token management. We tried all the existing approaches of injecting context into coding sessions: - Markdown dumps delivered via MCP (think Context7 or Mintlify Docs MCP) - API behaviour described in prose using AGENTSβ¦
