Show HN: Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computerA few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me.But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility.I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context. How it responds in int4 and whether the quality is maintained or not. Until I got to the point, on my computer with 32GB of RAM, I was able to communicate with GLM 5.2 with times that, of course, aren't high in cold start, but even then, we're talking about 0.1 tok/s, but that wasn't important to me. The important thing was the journey to reach this goal. I just wanted it to work at all costs, even sl

IMAGEShow HN: Computer Agents – Agents that work while you sleepHey HN, Most AI “agents” I’ve tried are basically chatbots with amnesia — they forget everything the moment you close the tab and can’t do anything unless you’re sitting there watching them. I wanted real AI coworkers that just… work. So I built Computer Agents (aiOS). Every agent you create gets its own isolated computer in the cloud — complete with persistent memory, a real file system, code execution environment (with automatic dependency management), and the ability to run scheduled or webhook-triggered tasks 24/7. You give it a goal (“research this market and email me a report every Monday”, “generate floor plans from client briefs”, “handle incoming support emails”, “run my weekly data analysis”), walk away, and come back to finished results in your inbox, Telegram, or dashboard. Key highlights: • Persistent workspaces — context and files survive forever (no more “remember what we talked about last week?”) • Native iOS app (iPhone + iPad) + native Mac app + web dashboard • Python

IMAGEAsk HN: How would you set up a child’s first Linux computer?As a tech parent I think one of the best things I did for both my son and daughter was for their first computer to help them to build and setup their own Linux computer (It was Ubuntu back then but they’ve both moved themselves to Arch these days).We went together and bought a second hand desktop (exciting the people selling to us also) and when I got home I pulled out the Ram, HD and CD drive and set them aside; and then together with a screwdriver we “built the computer” over a few days.In windows when a child goes searching the web for a “movie maker for windows” they are going to be in a world of hurt either finding expensive commercial options or super scammy sites promising the world.By comparison on Linux if they search the local “app store” they’ll find stacks and stacks of free, useful, open licensed software.My kids loved the power, freedom and later unexpected community this bought them.Now my friend wants the same for their daughter who is 8 years old.I’m planning to do the

IMAGELaunch HN: Halluminate (YC S25) – Simulating the internet to train computer useHi everyone, Jerry and Wyatt here from Halluminate (https://halluminate.ai/). We help AI labs train computer use agents with high quality data and RL environments.Training AI agents to use computers, browsers, and software is one of the highest-potential opportunities for AI. To date, however, this capability is still unreliable. The emerging method to improve this is called Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR). However, researchers are currently bottlenecked by a lack of high-quality simulators and task + verifiers.To solve this problem, we’re building Westworld, a fully-simulated internet made up of synthetic versions of the most common consumer and enterprise apps. Agents use Westworld to learn how to do economically valuable tasks.For example, AI agents can practice planning vacations on a simulated flight booking site (https://flights.halluminate.ai/), or learn how to reorganize outdated information in your sales platform, or train to do financial modeling directl

You can see some examples here: https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern#real-world-examples-of... and there's a demo video at https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern#demo, along with some instructions on running it locally.We provide a natural-language API to automate repetitive manual workflows that happen within the companies' backoffices. You can check out our code and play with Skyvern here: https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/SkyvernWe talked to hundreds of companies about things they do in the background and found that most of them depend on repetitive manual workflows. The breadth of these workflows surprised us – most companies started off doing things manually, and eventually either hired people to scale the manual work, or wrote scripts using Selenium-like browser automation libraries.In these conversations, one common poin
IMAGELaunch HN: Encord (YC W21) – Unit testing for computer vision modelsEric and Ulrik from Encord here. We build developer tooling to help computer vision (CV) teams enhance their model-building capabilities. Today we are proud to launch our model and data unit testing toolkit, Encord Active (https://encord.com/active/) [1].Imagine you're building a device that needs to see and understand the world around it – like a self-driving car or a robot that sorts recycling. To do this, you need a vision model that processes the real world as a sequence of frames and makes decisions based on what it sees.Bringing such models to production is hard. You can’t just train it once and then it works—you need to constantly test and improve it to make sure it understands the world correctly. For example, you don't want a self-driving car to confuse a stop sign with a billboard, or classify a pedestrian as an unknown object [2].This is where Encord Active comes in. It's a toolkit that helps developers “unit test”, understand, and debug their vision models. We put “unit tes
