    Pylar▲502

    Hey HN! We're Hoshang & Vishal, the team behind Pylar - a governed access layer between databases and LLMs. We previously led data and AI and we kept seeing the same problem across teams using LLMs internally: agents are great with unstructured data, but the moment you want them touching your actual systems of record — Snowflake, Postgres, CRMs, product DBs — everything becomes fragile, risky, or outright unsafe. Two issues show up every single time: 1. Agents over-querying They don’t understand cost. They’ll happily generate queries that blow up your warehouse bill. 2. Accidental data…

    While building mendable - we found that feeding LLMs well-structured markdown improved accuracy. We also found it surprisingly hard. We found some great tools online, but none reliably handled the entire process. We wanted an API that took a URL, crawled the pages in the URL, and gave us an easy-to-use, up-to-date markdown we could feed into our index. So, we released an open-source repo and an API that crawls and turns entire websites into a markdown with just a few lines of code The API handles: - Crawling without consistent sitemaps - Infra to handle running many crawling jobs - Proxying,…

    I have been working in AI space for a while now, first at FAANG with ML since 2021, then with LLM in start-ups since early 2023. I think LLM Application development is extremely iterative, more so than any other types of development. This is because to improve an LLM application performance (accuracy, hallucinations, latency, cost), you need to try various combinations of LLM models, prompt templates (e.g., few-shot, chain-of-thought), prompt context with different RAG architecture, different agent architecture, and more. There are thousands of possible combinations and you need a process…

    We built a computer use agent once and got it benchmarked at the 2nd position in the biggest benchmark for this field but in the process, we realized one thing, how outdated and inefficient these benchmarks are and how they don't truly capture how these tasks went. So we thought a community led benchmarking arena would be the way to go about. https://coarena.ai/. You just have to put in a task and two side by side windows with hidden models will show up and do the same task and at the end you vote which one did better(or none). We have a leaderboard where we rank all the…

    Hi HN, we built world-model-optimizer, an open source tool to continually improve a specialized model for an agent. It does this by simulating production tool responses through text world modeling (similar to QwenAgentWorld, summary here https://x.com/silennai/status/2073887455884058814). We can then use this to train a router for frontier, OS, and local models (use defaults or pick which ones to optimize against). wmo ingests agent traces, builds the simulation, embeds the traces, runs different models you choose against the simulation scenarios, and then uses a KNN…
