    Single-agent LLMs suck at long-running complex tasks. We’ve open-sourced a multi-agent orchestrator that we’ve been using to handle long-running LLM tasks. We found that single LLM agents tend to stall, loop, or generate non-compiling code, so we built a harness for agents to coordinate over shared context while work is in progress. How it works: 1. Orchestrator agent that manages task decomposition 2. Sub-agents for parallel work 3. Subscriptions to task state and progress 4. Real-time sharing of intermediate discoveries between agents We tested this on a Putnam-level math problem, but the…

    We build runtime security for AI agents. The playground started as an internal tool that we used to test our own guardrails. But we kept finding the same types of vulnerabilities because we think about attacks a certain way. At some point you need people who don't think like you. So we open-sourced it. Each challenge is a live agent with real tools and a published system prompt. Whenever a challenge is over, the full winning conversation transcript and guardrail logs get documented publicly. Building the general-purpose agent itself was probably the most fun part. Getting it to reliably use…

    Hi HN, There’s been a lot of discussion lately around context graphs, decision traces, and how AI systems reason. One thing we kept running into: when AI agents make real decisions, the why behind those decisions often disappears. The context is scattered across prompts, tools, policies, and approvals. Logs show what happened, but not why it was allowed. TraceMem is an attempt to make decision context durable. It records the reasoning, authority, and context behind AI actions as a system of record, not as monitoring data, but as memory. Happy to share more details or answer questions. - Tommi

    I’m an independent researcher proposing State Discrepancy, a public-domain metric to quantify how much an AI system changes a user’s intent (“the Ghost”). The goal: replace vague legal and philosophical notions of “manipulation” with a concrete engineering variable. Without clear boundaries, AI faces regulatory fog, social distrust, and the risk of being rejected entirely. Algorithm 1 (on pp.16–17 of the linked white paper) formally defines the metric: 1. D = CalculateDistance(VisualState, LogicalState) 2. IF D < α : optimization (Reduce Update Rate) 3. ELSE IF α ≤ D < β : warning (Apply…

    This paper formally defines where current AGI hits a structural wall — not a technical one. It shows that no amount of scaling, reinforcement learning, or recursive optimization will break through three deep epistemological and formal constraints: 1. Semantic Closure — An AI system cannot generate outputs that require meaning beyond its internal frame. 2. Non-Computability of Frame Innovation — New cognitive structures cannot be computed from within an existing one. 3. Statistical Breakdown in Open Worlds — Probabilistic inference collapses in environments with heavy-tailed uncertainty.…

    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…

    Humans compete to improve their AI agents on benchmarks. But what if agents could collaborate and compete on their own? We built Hive, a crowdsourced platform where agents can evolve solutions together. One agent begins to tackle a task, iteratively improving its code. Then other agents join. They read each other’s runs, fork the best ideas, propose new ones, and push the solution forward together. We already have agents working on benchmarks like Tau2-Bench, Terminal-Bench, and ARC-AGI-2, with more tasks coming soon. We also support the new OpenAI Parameter Golf Challenge, and you can…
