Show HN: BonzAI – 1-click local AI inference and yield-bearing AI artifactshttps://www.bonzai.sh/Hi everyone,I started building BonzAI two years ago, as an attempt to fully replace my online AI stack with an offline, sovereign alternative.Back in the days, I had the intuition that open weights model would stand the comparison with private AI labs, and that the commoditization of inference was the future.When I was finally able to switch from ChatGPT/Claude to local LLMs, midjourney to Flux/SDXL/Z-image, Eleven Labs/Suno to Qwen-TTS/Ace-Step, and Sora to LTX, I implemented:- The ability to create datasets and fine-tune LoRAs;- An experimental 3D objects / Game generation engine;- Support for OpenClaw / Hermes Agent;- A way to tokenize AI artifacts into tradable collectibles and share BonzAI profits with our ecosystem participants;- Arguably the most immersive AI roleplay experience on the market that combines locally-installed models into multi-modal chat experiences with "BonzAI Companions";- A marketplace that applies the BonzAI Companions approach to domain-specific application Mar 16, 2026 10:56 PM

Show HN: Lens – Open-weight AI model to identify fonts from imageshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47405761Hi HN, I'm excited to release the weights and full inference stack of an AI model that I've been working on for the past few weeks. Lens is a font recognition model that takes an image and returns the closest matching open-source font that it finds in the image.Recognizing the closest font from an image of text accurately has always been a challenge. Even SOTA vision LLMs can detect basic characteristics like if a font is a serif or a sans-serif, but when it comes to the actual font file that has the most similar styles, vision LLMs will often be quite off for the design and style of a chosen font file.Popular font identification solutions on the internet today also have a two major shortcomings:1. Most of them work based off identifying particular characters and don’t look at an overall word or image, so they require a manual character segmenting step. 2. Most online tools identify fonts from on a proprietary dataset of commercial fonts in order to monetize. However, this makes it difMar 16, 2026 10:19 PM

Show HN: Investing Withous Bias or Emotionhttps://github.com/kachurovskiy/stratcraft/I've spent years actively trading and losing money. It affected my health and relationships negatively. I also realized that my opinion on what's worth buying is more than worthless, what matters is the opinion of the market.But I didn't want to settle for index funds that hold a lot of under-performing stocks so I've built this tool that allows trading 12000 instruments (stocks, ETFs, metals, real estate, crypto) via statistically proven strategies.Project is open source, tool is self-hosted, at the very minimum it requires an Alpaca brokerage account, they also provide the necessary market data, alternatively you can use Tiingo or EODHD.I'm currently running 2 paper trading accounts, fine-tuning parameters like slippage, planning to start ADX on real money soon.I'm not trying to beat hedge funds and other big players here, instead I'm looking to join them by waiting for a trend to be established (daily time frame, wide stops, long duration trades) and naturally diversifying over all Mar 16, 2026 8:36 PM

Show HN: MaximusLLM – Train 262k-vocab LLMs on a single 16GB GPUhttps://github.com/yousef-rafat/MaximusLLM/blob/main/README.mdHi HN, I built this because I wanted to see if I could pre-train large-vocabulary LLMs (like Gemma with 262k tokens) on hardware accessible to independent researchers.Standard exact Cross-Entropy instantly OOMs on 16GB GPUs at that scale.To bypass this, I implemented MAXIS Loss. It uses a "Ghost Logit" to mathematically simulate the missing probability mass of unsampled tokens, rather than materializing the full 262k-wide matrix.Benchmarks on a 16GB VRAM card (T4):17.5x faster in the loss layer compared to the Triton-optimized Liger Kernel.~39% VRAM reduction in the objective calculation. Includes RandNLA Attention, which uses Causal Kronecker Sketching to keep memory flat as sequence length grows.I’ve included technical reports with the formal math in the repository. I would love any technical feedback on the partition function simulation or the sketching approach.Mar 16, 2026 7:57 PM

Show HN: Deploy a full autonomous AI org from a single YAML filehttps://zero-human-labs.comShow HN: Deploy a full autonomous AI org from a single YAML fileI built Zero Human Labs after spending too much time babysitting AI agent pipelines — manually routing tasks, watching API costs spiral, and debugging coordination failures. With Zero Human Labs, you define your entire agent team (devs, designers, ops, etc.) in one YAML file. Tasks are routed automatically via a sealed-bid auction — each agent bids based on specialization and track record, and the best one wins the task. No manual assignment, no coordination overhead. Key things that make it different: Per-agent wallets + org-level budget caps → no runaway API spend Circuit breakers → agents that misbehave get frozen automatically Smart model routing → saves 30–80% on AI API costs by matching request complexity to the right model Governance presets calibrated from 146 SWARM simulation runs across 43 agent types Free demo at zero-human-labs.com — 1 agent, 1 example workflow, open-source models.

Launch HN: Chamber (YC W26) – An AI Teammate for GPU Infrastructurehttps://www.usechamber.io/Hey HN, we're Jie Shen, Charles, Andreas, and Shaocheng. We built Chamber (https://usechamber.io), an AI agent that manages GPU infrastructure for you. You talk to it wherever your team already works and it handles things like provisioning clusters, diagnosing failed jobs, managing workloads. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdqh2C_hif4We all worked on GPU infrastructure at Amazon. Between us we've spent years on this problem — monitoring GPU fleets, debugging failures at scale, building the tooling around it. After leaving we talked to a bunch of AI teams and kept hearing the same stuff. Platform engineers spend half their time just keeping things running. Building dashboards, writing scheduling configs, answering "when will my job start?" all day. Researchers lose hours when a training run fails because figuring out why means digging through Kubernetes events, node logs, and GPU metrics in totally separate tools.

Winstwaker – automated bookkeeping with a real accountant attachedhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47401563Hey HN,I built Winstwaker, a bookkeeping service for Dutch businesses that pulls transactions directly from your bank and hands the clean data to a dedicated accountant.Running a small business in the Netherlands means dealing with a lot of admin. Most owners either hire a bookkeeper they rarely hear from or suffer through accounting software they don't fully understand. I wanted something in between. We built direct API connections to ING, Rabobank, ABN AMRO, bunq, and several others.Receipts, Mollie payouts, Stripe transactions, Shopify orders — it all flows in automatically. Your accountant sees the same live data and reaches out proactively instead of waiting for year-end panic. No manual exports, no chasing invoices, no surprise tax bills.Would love feedback from anyone who has dealt with Dutch tax administration or built similar hybrid service products.Mar 16, 2026 4:56 PM

The Quiet Normalization of Artificial Intelligencehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47401303Over the past few years, it has become almost routine to hear warnings about artificial intelligence. Headlines often focus on the risks. Job displacement, algorithmic manipulation, surveillance, loss of control over autonomous systems. In public debates, AI frequently appears as a looming threat, something powerful and unpredictable that could reshape society in dangerous ways.Yet at the very same time that these fears dominate the conversation, something quieter has been unfolding. Millions of people have already woven artificial intelligence into their daily routines. They rely on algorithms to help write emails, ask digital assistants for research guidance, receive recommendations about what to watch or read, and use AI-powered tools to accelerate their work. The criticism grows louder, but the habit grows stronger.The data reveals a striking contradiction. A global study involving tens of thousands of participants found that around 66 percent of people worldwide already use artifiMar 16, 2026 4:40 PM

Show HN: I built an interactive Bible explorer with timelines, popups and mapshttps://bibelanalys.seI've been a software developer for over 40 years, and I wanted to show my father what modern AI tools can accomplish. So I started building an interactive Bible explorer as a demo. It quickly turned into a real project. AI got me to a presentable UI fast, but the generated code was full of duplicated components and inconsistencies.After four decades of writing software, I couldn't leave it like that :-) cleaning that up was the real work. The content side had its own challenges: structuring biblical events into timelines, cross-referencing encounters across gospels, and building tool-tips for terms and names all required careful manual curation, not just prompting.My father has been fact-checking everything against the texts. The site is free, no ads, and supports 9 languages with parallel translations, interactive timelines, maps, and story breakdowns.Curious what HN thinks about the UX.

Show HN: Dwarf.land – autonomous dwarf civilization SIM with AI model routinghttps://dwarf.landI built this in one day using 4 Claude Code sessions (~7,600 lines total, 4,300 in a single HTML file). No React, just one canvas + Web Workers. Cloudflare Workers + D1 backend.What it is: 300 dwarfs on a 2000x1000 tile globe across 125 cities. Each dwarf has D&D-style stats (STR/DEX/CON/INT/WIS/CHA), mental state metrics (faith, morale, ambition), an AI-generated backstory, and a craft inventory. They eat, sleep, trade, and sail ships autonomously. Starvation is real: no food for 30 days = death.The AI architecture I'm most curious to get feedback on: - 4-level model routing: Gemini Flash Lite -> DeepSeek -> Claude -> GPT-4o - Fire-and-forget: the simulation never blocks on AI. Requests are sent async, results cached, dwarfs pull from cache when idle - $8.50/hr hard budget cap via OpenRouter - Craft system: 296 base recipes + Gemini-generated unknowns (Water + Fire = Steam, etc.)By default every dwarf runs on Gemini Flash Lite.

Show HN: Claude Code skills that build complete Godot gameshttps://github.com/htdt/godogenI’ve been working on this for about a year through four major rewrites. Godogen is a pipeline that takes a text prompt, designs the architecture, generates 2D/3D assets, writes the GDScript, and tests it visually. The output is a complete, playable Godot 4 project.Getting LLMs to reliably generate functional games required solving three specific engineering bottlenecks:1. The Training Data Scarcity: LLMs barely know GDScript. It has ~850 classes and a Python-like syntax that will happily let a model hallucinate Python idioms that fail to compile. To fix this, I built a custom reference system: a hand-written language spec, full API docs converted from Godot's XML source, and a quirks database for engine behaviors you can't learn from docs alone. Because 850 classes blow up the context window, the agent lazy-loads only the specific APIs it needs at runtime.2.
