Show HN: Hyperlane – A IDE and ADE merging agent worktrees with native toolinghttps://hyperlaneide.comHi HN, my co-founder and I run Akkento, a small self-funded team building Hyperlane, an independent IDE built on the VS Code source (Code OSS), made for merging worktree-based agent development with actual IDE features.Agent orchestrators give you a worktree based workflow where several agents run in parallel, but they are not IDEs (they are not meant to be), so the moment an agent finishes you have to leave and review the diff somewhere else, actually debug the code and go through a process to sanity check it. In a commercial team, that review step isn't optional which is the problem we came across, where you have 2 editors open at the same time for the same job. IDEs are where you actually read, debug and profile the code, but none of them give you the worktree workflow. We are hoping to fix that by merging the two together in an IDE with tooling for profiling, building and testing.Try it out: https://hyperlaneide.com/Hyperlane runs on macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows and Linux (x64 an

Show HN: Keystroke – open sourcing our internal agents and automations platformhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49160376Hello HN,I’m Dallin, building Keystroke with my co-founder Blake. Keystroke is a recent pivot from Buster, our original YC W24 company.Keystroke lets you build agents and durable workflows as TypeScript in your own repo, then deploy them to a web application where your team can use them. Our repo (ELv2 licensed) is here: https://github.com/keystrokehq/keystroke.At Buster, we spent a lot of time building internal agents and automations. We used visual platforms like n8n and Zapier, as well as code-first tools like Trigger.dev, Mastra, and several of Vercel’s open frameworks. We genuinely liked many of them, but kept encountering two different problems:1. Visual platforms gave us integrations, credentials, hosting, and an app the rest of the team could use, but became difficult to test, review, and debug as our systems grew.2. Code-first tools gave us the flexibility of ordinary TypeScript and worked well with coding agents, but left us building the UI, runtime, permissions, credentials,

SOTA on the hardest AI memory benchmark (BEAM, 10M tokens), with a smaller modelhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49085375Hey HN. I'm Johnny, founder of Exabase. We just hit the highest reported score on BEAM, the hardest AI memory benchmark, at every scale up to 10 million tokens. We also ran our evaluation using Gemini 3 Flash, when all previous leaders depended on a much larger model (Gemini 3 Pro).At 10M tokens, the scale is vastly larger than any model's context window, so context stuffing isn't an option (aside from the fact that only about half of a large window can be effectively utilised without degradation). The only way to score well is recall that fundamentally works.Our system (M-1) scored 76.9% at 100K, 75.0% at 1M, and 68.0% at 10M. Previous leaders were Hindsight (73.4%, 73.9%, 64.1%) and Honcho (63.0%, 63.1%, 40.6%), both using Gemini 3 Pro, while we used Flash.We saw the competitive gap get wider at scale: 3.5 points ahead of Hindsight at 100K, 3.9 at 10M. The gap with Honcho goes from 13.9 to 27.4 points. As the corpus gets bigger, it filters out effective recall vs. brute-forcing / mod

Show HN: I built a hypervisor and client for inference on consumer computehttps://scalattice.com/blog/openai-sdk-scalattice/I'm the founder of Scalattice, this is my second company, third total product. I'm a 2x founder building some challenging software, some easy software, and some curiosity based tools that I've just always wanted to be a part of!So here is Scalattice.Scalattice is an OpenAI-compatible inference API. You keep the OpenAI SDK, swap base_url + API key, and call open models (Qwen3, Llama 3.3 70B, Gemma 3, DeepSeek R1, etc.). Inference is performed by a provider node on our distributed network of consumer hosted inference machines, we run an open source agent (https://github.com/scalattice/scalattice-agent) which works in Rust to run the inference and get the provider paid.In short, anyone can become a provider, offer up their machine with our Windows/Linux Rust agent, and earn some extra cash, or start a farm of machines to make big bucks.I decided to build some innovative behavioural traits to the API for higher performance/security: 1. output vetting - Scalattice Cloud vets the response ag

Show HN: Orate – On-device neural text-to-speech queue for Machttps://orate.to/Hey friends! Brad here - long time HN user, founder, engineer (Coinbase, Soothe, Jeevz, Release, Hired, GrowthX, etc)...I have been struggling recently with too many tabs, emails, articles, etc sitting unread while I swap between Claude code sessions all day. So I decided to build Orate to help me work through the backlog by listening to it all like I would a podcast.Orate allows you to select any text on your screen and keyboard shortcut it to a listening queue where it gets processed using the latest + greatest TTS AI models, and then read back to you in a mostly-natural sounding voice. Orate works fully on-device and offline. Whatever you pass to it stays yours. It's native, lives in your menu bar, and supports things like tagging, system playback controls, speed adjustment, and more. There's also an optional HD-voice tier that uses Chatterbox instead of Kokoro which ships with it for more expressive TTS.I'm also burnt out on being chipped away at little by little with a subscriptio

Show HN: PMG, open source package firewallhttps://github.com/safedep/pmgHi HNI am the founder of SafeDep. We have been detecting malicious packages for a while. Coming from DevSecOps background, I always considered malicious package detection & protection to be a build stage problem. But I was wrong since the S1ngularity and early Shai-Hulud days.In 2026, we pretty much started worrying more about our own dev machines than CI/CD environment. Depending only on threat intelligence data (OSV / SafeDep / Socket / any other source) to protect our own dev machines did not feel right. We wanted to build a multi-layered protection that can get 100% visibility of OSS packages coming in, and can protect against known and “hopefully” unknown threats. That’s how Package Manager Guard (PMG) started. Core idea was simple:- Start a local proxy (localhost)- Make sure supported package managers like npm, pnpm, pip etc. goes through it- Use threat intelligence data to fail fast on known malicious packages- Apply policies like dependency cooldown as additional guardrails- Ad

Show HN: Finterm.ai Bloomberg terminal for Claude Codehttps://finterm.ai/Hi, my name is Kam, and today my cofounder Josh and I are shipping Finterm, a CLI that gives coding agents direct access to financial data: stock prices, options data, SEC filings, and Ticker Deep Research, a filtered ticker news search. I’m a developer and have been a full-time trader for the past few years.Recently I have been using LLMs more and more in my trading and strategy. I always found it frustrating that Claude Code or GPT did not have direct access to actual financial information and had to rely on web search, so it couldn’t get me more granular numbers for specific options pricing.When making a trade I want to understand as much as possible about the stock. Instead of relying on analysts or interpretations of the data, I like to go directly to the truth. So whenever I have a trade thesis, I break research into a few parts: company research, analyst sentiment, and market sentiment.Last September I had a short thesis on Popmart Labubu's parent company.

Show HN: OpenBenchmarks – Helping agents discover and pick the right SaaS APIshttps://openbenchmarks.comI'm Fenil, co-founder/CEO of OpenFunnel (YC F24), building this with my co-founder/CTO Aditya. We're launching OpenBenchmarks (https://openbenchmarks.com), open-source, reproducible benchmarks for SaaS APIs, starting with the category we know best: GTM APIs.## Why we built thisMore and more B2B software evaluation will/already runs through reasoning models inside agentic workflows rather than through people. And buyers increasingly pick vendors that are API-first and ship MCPs, so they can wire them into internal workflows. Strong reasoning models are skeptical of marketing. When a genuinely neutral benchmark is available, they discount SEO and self-published benchmarks, and they lose trust the moment something looks like a marketing claim.The thing that survives that skepticism is an independent build-first benchmark the agent can reproduce itself and trust.Reproducible by default: every cell ships the literal HTTP request/response plus the judge prompt/responseAll benchmarks live at

We're building Playground, an open-source sandbox that lets your non-technical teams prototype directly on production codebases, without bugging you (developers) to spin up and maintain another repo.The repo is here: https://github.com/B1u3B01t/design-playground.We've been working together for six years. Last year we built an AI design agent because we thought designers were the biggest bottleneck. But we were wrong.After talking to teams, we realised designers, PMs, founders and even sales people all wanted to quickly change and explore flows for their users, that looked and behaved like the real app.But devs don't trust non-technical teams to work on production and not fuck up the code. Agree. So the other way is setting up another mock repo.And that defeats the point. It adds maintenance cost of keeping both in sync. This is what happened when both of us were working together too. So we built an open-source Playground.It has all the features out of the box: s

Show HN: Sipp – Run small local LLMs in browser 3x fasterhttps://www.sipp.shHi HN! Sipp is an open-source AI inference library for running local models in browsers with up to 3x faster decode speeds than alternative libraries.My background is in HCI (human-computer interaction) and graphics programming. Me along with my co-founder have been experimenting and thinking a lot about what the next user experience will look like when tokens are commodified to the point of being essentially “free.” A motivation for us was to try to move beyond the chat app and information retrieval use cases that are dominant now, and figure out how AI could instead act as a continuous and silent hand that helps the user indirectly, subtly monitoring their intent and dynamically generating or shifting the UI to meet their needs.In our explorations, we ran into two pain points: 1) when running AI in the browser, performance wasn’t good enough for real-time applications, and model loading and caching were issues; 2) when trying to run locally on desktop, there weren’t any good solution

Show HN: Startup sci-fi novel that took me 5 years to writehttps://www.blockchainednovel.com/It started after reading Stephen King's "On Writing" where he likened the art of writing as the unearthing of an archeological site after you stumbled upon a unique bone of a story. His advice was to choose a domain you are deeply intimate with. For me, I've been a struggling startup founder for 15 years—enough material to inspire a novel.A 1,000-word writing exercise turned into a complete 125k-word manuscript over the course of a year.In year 1, I learned the sheer joy of unencumbered creative flow and authentic expression. A similar flow I used to get from coding (and more recently vibe coding). What made it effortless was a mindset that I was writing for the sake of it, not with the intention of publishing.After a year of keeping it close to my chest, I decided to show it to a few close friends. They liked some of it, destroyed some of it. Some ultimately encouraged me to publish it.In year 2, I learned about the chasm between writing for myself and writing for an audience. Nerdy s
