Show HN: LLM Council: survival-of-the-fittest multi-modal deliberation
A new open-source tool takes a different approach to getting reliable answers from AI models: make them argue with each other. LLM Council, released last month, queries multiple frontier language models in parallel, anonymizes the...
Show HN: Benzi – Code Intelligence Infrastructure for Frontier AI Models
Most AI coding agents work by stuffing a repository into a context window and hoping the model finds what it needs. Benzi takes a different approach: before answering a single question, it compiles the entire codebase into a struc...
Show HN: Send flowers from your AI agent and make your mum happy
An AI agent can now send your mother flowers without you lifting a finger. A new Model Context Protocol server lets language models trigger real-world flower deliveries, part of a growing push to give AI agents the ability to inte...
Easy Local Copilot with VS Code and Lemonade
GitHub Copilot's rising subscription costs have pushed some developers to look for alternatives that keep their code local and their wallets intact. A recent guide demonstrates how to wire up VS Code's built-in Copilot chat interf...
Show HN: Web Scraping and Crawling – FetchRelay
FetchRelay is a web data workspace that aims to simplify the process of extracting content from websites, collecting structured product fields, and crawling entire sites. The service provides an API-first approach, letting develop...
Ask HN: Best sentence corpora with native audio for language learning?
A language learning community member is sounding the alarm about Glossika, one of the most popular tools for mass-sentence language acquisition, and the search for alternatives is exposing a gap in the market for structured, audio...
Tracarbon: Track GPU power and carbon emissions while running local LLMs
As local language models grow larger and developers run them on increasingly powerful hardware, the energy cost of inference has become a measurable concern. Tracarbon, an open-source Python library, gives developers a way to trac...
Nanobench: A simple and fast single-header microbenchmarking library for C++
Microbenchmarking in C++ has long meant choosing between heavyweight frameworks that pull in dependencies and fragile hand-rolled timing code that produces unreliable results. ankerl::nanobench, a single-header library supporting...
Show HN: The Analyst (A data science analytics simulator)
Data science education has a gap that tutorials and competitions do not fill: the messy reality of working with unreliable data, unclear stakeholder requests, and systems that do not behave like textbook examples. The Analyst, a b...
Is your LLM Biased? Making ChatGPT evaluate itself
When you ask a language model to estimate the probability that a remote worker is slacking off, the answer you get may depend on whether you said "he" or "she." A recent experiment tested ChatGPT with a simple workplace scenario,...
