Show HN: PantheonGPU – GPU health testing and AI workload benchmarkinghttps://pantheongpu.com/Hi HN, I built PantheonGPU because I wanted a better way to answer a simple question: is this GPU actually healthy and performing the way it should?A GPU can show normal temperatures and utilization and still be underperforming, unstable under certain workloads, or have memory, PCIe, or configuration issues.PantheonGPU actively tests the GPU instead of only monitoring telemetry. It currently includes 45+ tests covering compute, tensor workloads, memory, cache, PCIe, thermals, stability, and AI/LLM inference.It supports both NVIDIA CUDA and AMD ROCm.I’m also exploring a larger use case: running Pantheon across GPU fleets to identify individual GPUs that behave differently from the rest of a server or cluster.I’d especially appreciate feedback from people running AI infrastructure, multi-GPU systems, local LLMs, or GPU clouds.Aug 18, 2026 6:47 PM

Show HN: Voidleap Code – agentic IDE, own harness, swap models mid-conversationhttps://voidleap.com/We wanted to build a development environment that can make you a better agentic engineer, not a tool that makes money when you waste tokens. A tool where you can swap models between turns, edit the context, and see every agent action. To do it, we had to build our own harness.Free to use. We don't sell inference, so bring your own key. The sore spot is Claude subscriptions. We can't support them because of Anthropic's terms.The app runs on your machine, and your data never touches our servers.We've been building Voidleap Code using Voidleap Code since January. We didn't rush to launch, but instead focused on getting the architecture and package just right. There are still more features to build, and more polishing to do, but it's ready for you to try.Judge it for yourself and tell us what you think.Aug 18, 2026 6:40 PM

We are launching our public beta now to get more feedback before scaling up.Tips for better performance: - Add more details to your prompt. If you just provide a short sentence prompt, it will likely get detected as AI. - Try changing the style in "advanced options" - Deft currently works better for some use cases like Analysis/Essays, Creative writing, and Rewrites. It works less well for Marketing copy and news articles.Our main goal is better writing, fooling AI detectors is just a side effect.Here's the launch announcement the Deft model wrote for itself:Introducing Deft Writing We are proud to announce the launch of our new startup, Deft Writing. Having spent many years in the trenches with other Large Language Models (LLMs), we were continually hampered by poor writing. We believe writing well is hard. So Aug 18, 2026 6:33 PM
