A lot of my non-developer friends still think that AI is basically just Google or something you ask to write something and then copy paste it around... if they use it at all. When I ask them why they don't use the good stuff like Claude Cowork or its competitors, they tell me a few things: 1. Well, I don't wanna pay a bunch of money for it, and the $20 plans run out real fast. 2. I'm dealing with sensitive info (student grades, therapy notes, legal work, etc) and I don't wanna give it to anyone. So I built Sageling to give them a first taste of what a good coworking experience feels like. It'β¦

We needed a framework to write our evals in and easily update them, run A/B tests, set all kinds of constraints (ex: timeouts, number of turns), and configure the execution environment (ex: sandboxes, dependencies, how to handle AskQuestion). We also have an agent judge. Itβs all in a YAML file now. We seem to be moving toward a world where companies rely more and more on evals to decide what to ship, so this should be super helpful for normalizing evals across teams.

Hey HN, I've been working on this for about a year and figured it was time to share it. Visor started with my own kids. I actually think YouTube has a lot of good content for kids, but I was tired of the weird video recommendations, ads, and most of all YT Shorts! I was looking for a way to simply say: these channels are fine, everything else isn't. I couldn't really find one, so I built Visor. Parents approve channels, kids get their own curated YouTube experience, and they can request new channels when they find something they're interested in. No Shorts, no ads, and no algorithm rabbit holβ¦

Hey HN. We built an openai-compatible API for running open-weight VLMs, OCR VLMs and ViT-based vision models. The motivation was mostly frustration when running these models in production and discovering all the details around serving VLMs, especially around visual accuracy. A few footguns we kept running into: - quantized models served under the same name (this one still drives me nuts): providers often serve models with different quants, environments, vLLM/SGLang serving params with the same model-id. Vision is especially sensitive to this; some quants that look fine on text benchmarks notiβ¦

It wonβt work : My suspicion was that GPT 5.6-Cyber would succeed, but the frequency and manner of its success removed all doubt. We have to reassess sandboxing quality for capable AI agents, and in general the software stack with which they interact. An off-the-shelf VM is not enough to contain a modern, cyber-capable AI agent. There is simply too much attack surface. Even innocuous features (like running with a display) add extra, exploitable attack surface.
