Show HN: DeepSeek Flash inverted the economics of agent productshttps://www.rtrvr.ai/blog/code-as-plan-deepseek-flash-text-only-browser-agentThere is an adversarial relationship between developers and big model labs.Model labs charged developers higher API prices to subsidize their own agent harness offerings. Think Anthropic charging 5x higher Claude API prices to subsidize consumer subscriptions. So Cursor in a way was subsidizing their own direct competitor.DeepSeek V4 Flash totally inverted this relationship. Now you have a model that beats even Sonnet in some benchmarks and is totally opensourced. Now inference providers are racing to the bottom to optimize and give cheaper hosting. Every player with a non-SOTA is now racing to swap over to stop paying the big model lab tax, even Microsoft is switching Copilot to use DeepSeek.On switching over to Deepseek:- we noticed over a 100x cost decrease while similar or better performance then Gemini 3 Flash- insane saving from the cached input tokens: $0.002/1 Million tokens- both DeepSeek Flash and GLM 5.2 are text-only models, so clearly multimodal training is not worth the aJun 25, 2026 10:56 PM

Show HN: An open source app for navigating CS conferenceshttps://github.com/CuriousG102/conference-plannerHey HN,I wrote a single app that pulls all of a conference's workshops, talks, papers, and posters into one place. You can search everything, star what you care about, and sync across devices with a passcode.When I went to CVPR this year, I was annoyed that I couldn't find talks from all ~150 workshops in a single place. Papers could be pulled from Scholar Inbox, but then they wouldn't live alongside workshops. I decided to build my own app with Claude Code and push it to Cloudflare. I used my own experience & feedback from friends and colleagues to refine it along the way.It's open source - feel free to clone my app and adapt it for your next conference! Even better if you pay it forward and host an instance for other attendees.Live demo (CVPR 2026): https://cvpr2026.mileshutson.workers.devCoolest hidden feature: Use agent workflows to choose papers that match your tastes, then use the app's import feature to get a "Robot picks" tab.Jun 25, 2026 4:19 PM

Show HN: OpenKnowledge – open source AI-first alternative to Obsidian/Notionhttps://github.com/inkeep/open-knowledgeHi HN, Nick here. We’re launching OpenKnowledge (https://openknowledge.ai/), a “what you see is what you get” markdown editor that has direct integrations with Claude, Codex, and other agents. Available as MacOS app or Web UI+CLI. Fully free/local and OSS.We built this because we wanted a Notion-like experience for writing and sharing markdown files across our team. Obsidian is the best alternative we tried, but found it doesn’t have a true WYSWIG UI and it didn’t integrate well with Claude/Codex outside of community plugins.So we built OpenKnowledge. It takes shape as:1. A MacOS app with a file navigator, the WYSIWYG editor, and link explorer.2. Integrations with the Claude, Codex, and Cursor desktop apps. The agents can open an OpenKnowledge editor within their embedded web browsers for a side-by-side experience.3. Built-in mcps, skills, and RAG for LLM-wiki and “AI Second Brain” scenarios + spec writing4. An embedded terminal and CLI for TUI-first usersOSS stack includes: Tiptap/proJun 25, 2026 4:04 PM

Show HN: Contraband – Ticketed VR cinema for indie and AI-made filmshttps://contraband.watchPeople who makes films don't have it easy. In a typical scenario - the team that produced the film makes 15% of the topline revenues. The Distributor takes 35%. And the theatre (the exhibitor) takes 50%.So even in a scenario like Obsession where the movie is making a rocket ride, the filmmakers were capped at $50M (15M upfront + 15%). The Distributors and theatres get the upside of the $330 million.In the startup world, we get upset about appstores charging 30% :)The situation gets worse for Indie films and more so for people who are using AI tools to tell stories. Films that got made, got finished, and then have nowhere to go because the distribution infrastructure wasn't built for them. That's increasingly true for indie films. It's almost entirely true for AI-made films right now.CONTRABAND is our attempt to fix that. It's a scheduled, ticketed VR cinema that runs inside a Meta Quest headset. Films screen at a set time, with a real audience in the room, the way a cinema is supposed Jun 25, 2026 3:25 PM

Show HN: Turn native language audio into flashcards and shadowing practicehttps://lingochunk.com/tryHere is a tool I built initially for myself to help with my German and Greek language studies. It started as a hack for creating Anki cards from native language audio. It extracts the words, finds their base forms (lemmas) and groups the examples by the lemma. At some point I realised that I have a transcription with word level timestamps that opens a lot of other opportunities. So I added a mode to click the first and last word in the transcript and it starts looping with the right gap and repeat count.Another feature I use a lot is selecting an audio fragment, sending a predefined prompt to an AI to "explain grammar" or "explain nuances of meaning" and I still experimenting with prompts.And because shadowing is so easy I also use it as a player to improve my English pronunciation. (I am not a native English speaker.)I made a quick video showing the workflow for creating Anki cards and shadowing: https://youtu.be/TaR58uuDBvU?si=o5aGLAi2S-BZ7Zy9The app supports 15 input languages (JapaJun 25, 2026 11:29 AM

Thoughts on Asimovian AI Beyond LLMs and Creative Machineshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48671659Asimovian AI is the ideal AI that should have emerged in an ideal universe — the AI intended to replace the grueling pains and labors of the masses, not the one striving to become a businessman's utopia of intellectual worker replacement.Intention is the most important aspect of any implementation, and we are seeing the results of current AI implementation right in front of us: workers getting sacked with each passing day, humanity competing with itself day in and day out over who impresses their superiors more on these token metrics, emerging glorious narratives of how AI will be 'The Future', the recurring advice of 'Use AI or perish in the tech market'. Now who really gains from these events and who loses? I wonder if anyone ever gives serious thought to this broader question or just keeps being a cog in the corporate wheel like everyone else.It's high time we pushed the "Pause AI" button right now and take a breather and reflect a bit on what exactly is going on here.

A single Proto-Indo-European root, *deru-.Source code: https://github.com/stared/tree-of-treeI am grateful to Miroslav Šedivý, a Czechoslovak polyglot I met at PiterPy 2018, who sparked a curiosity that Polish 'zdrowy' (healthy) is from 'drewno' (wood) or 'drzewo' (tree), which are related to the English word 'tree'.

Instead of focusing solely on prediction aggregation, the governance layer evaluates specialists, aggregates diagnostic signals, adjusts trust, performs bounded mitigation, and produces an auditable decision trace.So far I've completed three benchmarks covering: a- Predictive Performance. b- Robustness under multiple corruption families. c- Reproducibility and stability.From these benchmarks, we see that MAVS-GC has competitive predictive performance.However,the more interesting behavior appeared under severe corruption. Across high-corruption conditions (corruption level ≥ 0.6), MAVS-GC achieved 85.30% accuracy with 0.45% unsafe acceptance, while the ensemble baselines averaged 43.24% accuJun 25, 2026 7:35 AM

What you are looking at is the result of pure architectural discipline. To handle massive global budgets, complex subcontractor workflows, and real-time synchronization with massive enterprise CAD suites, I engineered a closed-loop, self-aware data object model. The data objects carry their own application logic and database schemas. It is a zero-exception, self-contained architecture that eliminates the need for lazy, nested error handling. It runs perfectly because it mathematically cannot run corruptly. It has a bidirectional interface to Revit, the same software Boeing used to design their jets.I bring 30+ years of deep engineering experience across both Microsoft and Linux stacks.
