Show HN: Run open-weight OCR, VLM and vision models behind one APIhttps://www.vlmrun.com/gateway

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 noti…

I'm considering spinning up a live instance if there is interest. --- This release contains (relatively) complete UI for sequence definition and taxonomy authorin…

Show HN: GeoRace – geo puzzles and virtual journeys in one gamehttps://worldboard.games/georace

Hi HN. I've been building Worldboard ( https://worldboard.games ), browser games where the game world is the real world. You travel between cities and countries on a realistically simulated public transit system with 65,000 train/subway/tram stations in 46 countries. You can exit most of these stations upon arrival and "walk" around in town using in-game Google Street View. GeoRace is, as the name suggests, a puzzle game inspired by GeoGuessr. But instead of clicking a point on the map as your guess, you have to travel to the exact spot, often a long way away. Along the way, besides doing cha…

The result is that it's an 8 MB applic…

Using a VM to Contain an AI Agenthttps://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2026/09/using-a-vm-to-contain-an-ai-agent.html

It won’t 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.

The Trump White House’s fetish for gamer culture has moved up a level with new arcadehttps://www.theguardian.com/games/2026/sep/04/trump-white-house-gamer-culture-arcade

A string of distractions on the US government’s own website invite you to catch pixelated migrants – showing gaming’s potential to be nastily weaponised The Trump White House on Thursday released a horrible little propaganda arcade via its website, a collection of nasty little riffs on popular games. Wrapped in the cutesy, nostalgic aesthetic of early-90s pixel art, these little fascist diversions are harmless-looking, but their intent is stomach-turning: this is the appropriation of play in service of propaganda. It’s just the latest in a series of attempts from Trump’s administrat…

In the original session Claude flagged the risk. I didn't read carefully, said "go ahead", and it broke a feature. Nothing in the commit shows this. It's obvious in the session. Sessions contain the code and the reasoning behind it. That makes them a better source for review than the diff alone.
