Data visualizations are the bridge between user and data. But building AI agents that can generate visualizations reliably can be very tricky: - simple chart specs can be reliable, but generated charts are often of low quality due to reliance on system defaults; - complex chart specs with explicit details can produce good-looking charts, but they are verbose and agents can struggle with reliability We figured out it is a limitation on the language issue (not just AI capability thing) -- current visualization languages are a bit too low-level for AI agents, requiring them to explicitly make…

Hello! We just released freeact (https://github.com/gradion-ai/freeact), a lightweight agent library that empowers language models to act as autonomous agents through executable code actions. By enabling agents to express their actions directly in code rather than through constrained formats like JSON, freeact provides a flexible and powerful approach to solving complex, open-ended problems that require dynamic solution paths. * Supports dynamic installation and utilization of Python packages at runtime * Agents learn from feedback and store successful code actions as…

Hey HN, I wanted to share a new project we've been working on for the last couple of months called ART (https://github.com/OpenPipe/ART). ART is a new open-source framework for training agents using reinforcement learning (RL). RL allows you to train an agent to perform better at any task whose outcome can be measured and quantified. There are many excellent projects focused on training LLMs with RL, such as GRPOTrainer (https://huggingface.co/docs/trl/main/en/grpo_trainer) and verl…

Hi HN, I built this to address what I see as the fundamental problem with ReAct-style agents: compounding errors. Even a small mistake made early enough in the loop can snowball and ruin the final output. But with search, agents can look multiple steps ahead and backtrack before committing to a particular trajectory. This has already been shown in a few papers to help agents avoid mistakes and boost overall task performance, but there's no easy way to actually build these kinds of agents. So that's why I made this framework. I believe search will eventually become table stakes for building…

recursive-mode is an installable skill package for coding agents. It gives your agent a file-backed workflow for requirements, planning, implementation, testing, review, closeout, and memory, instead of leaving the whole process scattered in context. Long-running agent work has a common failure mode: requirements, decisions, and plans live in the conversation. Once the session ends or the context window overflows, the agent loses track of what was decided, what was implemented, and why. recursive-mode solves context rot by making repository documents the source of truth for every phase.…

We built meta-agent: an open-source library that automatically and continuously improves agent harnesses from production traces. Point it at an existing agent, a stream of unlabeled production traces, and a small labeled holdout set. An LLM judge scores unlabeled production traces as they stream. A proposer reads failed traces and writes one targeted harness update at a time, such as changes to prompts, hooks, tools, or subagents. The update is kept only if it improves holdout accuracy. On tau-bench v3 airline, meta-agent improved holdout accuracy from 67% to 87%. We open-sourced meta-agent.…

I'm one of the creators of The Edge Agent (TEA). We built this because we needed a way to deploy agents that was verifiable and robust enough for production/edge cases, moving away from loose scripts. The architecture aims to solve critical gaps in deterministic orchestration identified by *Prof. Claudionor Coelho Jr. (Stanford alum, ML/DL Faculty at Santa Clara Univ., and Senior Fellow for AI at Majestic Labs)* during our work on the Kiroku project. *Key Technical Features:* * *Neurosymbolic Native:* We integrated Prolog to logically validate LLM outputs. This combines neural…

The most common failures for production agents are behavioral: looping, reasoning leakage, user frustration, and more. Using a frontier model like GPT or Sonnet to judge every turn is too expensive and slow to run at scale. To solve this, we built Reflexes: semantic signals from agent traces, served fast and cheap over API. Built on custom kernels and a custom inference engine forked from vLLM. Under the hood, it is a small LLM architected around multi-head inference. Small models need to be trained for specific tasks, but running 50 separate small models on the same input for 50 tasks makes…

Hello, HN. I've created fast-agent to make building my own products easier - and remove the friction between defining Prompts, MCP Servers and their composition. It uses a simple, declarative style that's easy to work with and source control - with inbuilt support for the patterns in the Building Effective Agents paper. Because you can "warm-up" and interact with Agents before, during or after the workflows, it's easy to diagnose and tune Agent prompts and behaviour for later runs. Being able to set these workflows up makes LLM Context Management and Tool Selection a lot easier and can…

Hi HN! Sean from MindStudio here. I wanted to share something we've been working on that I think introduces some new ideas into the "AI coding agent" space. Remy is an AI agent that builds full-stack TypeScript apps from a spec written in a new flavor of annotated markdown. The spec has two layers: prose describing what the app does, and annotations that carry the technical precision (data types, edge cases, validation rules, code snippets). The agent then "compiles" this into code: backend methods, typed schemas, frontends, test scenarios, and everything else are derived artifacts of the…

Was so sick of reading walls of codex/claude prose, in markdown plans and just in the chat, that I started playing with ideas that force coding agents to display information differently. The human visual cortex is an amazing thing, and getting coding agents to let me use it has been pretty nice so far. Been iterating on this a lot internally for the last few months, polishing and mostly removing stuff.
