LLMs from Scratch: Build a GPT in Pure PyTorch, No LLM Libraries
A bonus chapter on Gemma 3 270M showed KV-cached CPU inference on a Mac Mini M4 (130–224 tok/sec) outrunning an A100 GPU (26–99 tok/sec), which sparked 57 HN comments questioning GPU efficiency at small model sizes. Thi...
Get started with Harness Engineering now !!!
You get a 2,869-star course repo, but open issues say chapters 9 and 10 still have no content. It is a TypeScript and VitePress course plus a skill pack from WalkingLabs that shows you how to control AI coding agents wi...
SuperSplat: Browser-Native 3DGS Editor
SuperSplat runs entirely in your browser — no install, no GPU rig — and lets you crop, filter, and publish a 3D Gaussian Splat scene in minutes from a .ply file. It is an MIT-licensed editor built by PlayCanvas on WebGL...
Floci: 24ms local AWS emulation in a Docker container
The free-tier LocalStack Community Edition — with 64.9k GitHub stars — was archived and gated behind mandatory auth tokens in March 2026; Floci launched as a wire-compatible replacement 48 hours before that archival. Fl...

From Claude Code Source Leaked: Detailed AI Agent Architecture
Anthropic accidentally published Claude Code's entire source code (~512,000 lines) via a source map file in npm package v2.1.88. The leak exposed the internal architecture of one of the most capable AI coding agents, re...
9B model beats Qwen3-Omni-30B on 6 of 7 omni tasks
A 9B model outscores Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B on 6 of 7 omni-modal benchmarks while running at 212.3 tokens/s on a single RTX 4090 at INT4 (11GB VRAM). MiniCPM-o 4.5 is an open-source multimodal model from Tsinghua's NLP lab ...
ARIS Forces a Rival AI to Audit Every Claim Your Agent Makes
ARIS introduces a named failure mode for autonomous AI agents: 'plausible unsupported success' — where the agent produces internally coherent but evidentially hollow claims its own review loop can't catch. It's a Markdo...
Robot VLA beats GPT-5 on 13 embodied-reasoning benchmarks
Despite claiming complete openness, MolmoAct2's GitHub repo states training code is 'coming soon' — weights and datasets are live, but you cannot reproduce training yet. MolmoAct2 is Ai2's open Vision-Language-Action mo...
CocoIndex: Re-index Only Changed Rows, Skip 99.9% of Re-runs
CocoIndex's flagship claim — 99.9% cache hits when 10 of 10,000 rows change — is mathematically correct but applies only when your corpus changes rarely; a 50% daily change rate cuts that savings to roughly 2×, and no i...
AI Hedge Fund: A 19-Agent Multi-Agent System for Stock Analysis
A repo named 'AI Hedge Fund' has 58,438 GitHub stars despite its README explicitly stating it does not execute real trades and exists for educational purposes only. It's a Python system that runs 19 LangGraph agents — 1...
Rocket Chip: Open-Source RISC-V SoC Generator
You get an active 2026 codebase, but your latest tagged release is still `v1.6` from October 2022. You are looking at a Scala and Chisel generator that emits RTL for a full RISC-V SoC instead of handing you one fixed co...
LocalAI: 36 AI backends behind one self-hosted API endpoint
A single Docker container running LocalAI exposes text generation, image synthesis, speech recognition, text-to-speech, and object detection behind one OpenAI-compatible REST API — 36 distinct ML runtimes, one port. Loc...
Valkey: Redis fork that hit 1.2M RPS
Valkey 8.0 added async I/O threading that pushed single-node throughput from 360K to 1.19M RPS on an AWS c7g.16xlarge — a 3× gain with no protocol changes. It is a Linux Foundation fork of Redis 7.2.4, launched March 20...
Chipmunk2D: A fast and lightweight 2D game physics library.
In August 2025, Scott Lembcke moved Chipmunk2D's canonical development from GitHub to Codeberg after AI crawlers overwhelmed his website — GitHub now hosts only a mirror, not the upstream. Chipmunk2D is a C library that...

Instacart Cuts Zero-Result Searches 6% With Postgres
If you think hybrid search needs Elasticsearch plus a vector store, Instacart gives you a counterexample: it reports a 6% drop in zero-result searches after it moves hybrid retrieval into Postgres. You are reading a Byt...
Reachy Mini: The $299 Open-Source Desktop Robot With Its Own App Store
You're looking at a robot SDK that ships 7 releases in about 5 weeks and still carries 124 open issues, so you get a live platform, not a finished appliance. You control Reachy Mini, a 1.475 kg open-source desktop human...
LeRobot: Hugging Face's Open Robotics Stack
You get an open robotics stack with 23,839 GitHub stars, 16,065+ community datasets, and an accepted ICLR 2026 paper, yet its async inference server still has an unpatched CVSS 9.3 RCE as of May 8, 2026. LeRobot is a Py...
NVIDIA GR00T N1.7: 3.08x faster
You can cut H100 end-to-end latency from 85.8 ms to 27.9 ms with the full TensorRT path, but NVIDIA still labels GR00T N1.7 as Early Access. It is NVIDIA's public GitHub repo for a humanoid robot control model, finetuni...
Anthropic's financial-service AI stack
Anthropic's 10-agent financial-services stack has no build step — every agent and skill is a plain markdown file you fork, edit, and deploy without compiling anything. The repo ships named agents for investment banking,...
The Only Open-Source WiFi Stack That Can Send ACKs on Time
openwifi enforces the 10µs SIFS ACK timing in FPGA hardware — a constraint that GNU Radio-based alternatives explicitly document as impossible to meet via CPU latency, making it the only open-source 802.11 platform wher...
MimiClaw: Full LLM agent loop on a $10 chip — no Linux, 1.18 MB
MimiClaw accumulated 5,361 GitHub stars in roughly 10 weeks with zero Hacker News traction, meaning its entire audience lives in maker and embedded hardware communities rather than the typical developer crowd. It is bar...
Run Helios-Distilled text-to-video inference
A 14B video model (Helios-Distilled) reaches 19.53 FPS on a single NVIDIA H100 GPU by cutting historical context tokens 8x and noisy context tokens 2.3x — landing in the same throughput band as 1.3B distilled competitor...
Microsoft Qlib: handles market data, model training & trading
You get a 42,126-star quant stack that still tells you its starter Yahoo Finance data "might not be perfect." Qlib is a Microsoft-backed GitHub repo that puts data prep, model training, backtests, online serving, and re...
OpenBB: Opensource financial data normalization
Four years after OpenBB scraped GitHub public commit emails for marketing — confirmed in a 190-point HN thread — finance developers still cite the incident when the project comes up. OpenBB is a Python SDK plus FastAPI ...
