    Many teams connecting LLMs to external tools eventually encounter the same architectural issue: as more tools and agents are added, the integration pattern becomes an N×M mesh of direct connections. Each agent implements its own auth, retries, rate limiting, and logging; each tool needs credentials distributed to multiple places and observability becomes fragmented. We built LLM gateway with this goal to provide a single place to manage authentication, authorization, routing, and observability for MCP servers, with a path toward a more general agent-gateway architecture in the future. The…

    We built an open-source proxy that sits between coding agents (Claude Code, OpenClaw, etc.) and the LLM, compressing tool outputs before they enter the context window. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vFZ6MPrwjw#t=9s. Motivation: Agents are terrible at managing context. A single file read or grep can dump thousands of tokens into the window, most of it noise. This isn't just expensive — it actively degrades quality. Long-context benchmarks consistently show steep accuracy drops as context grows (OpenAI's GPT-5.4 eval goes from 97.2% at 32k to 36.6% at 1M…

    We built any-llm because we needed a lightweight router for LLM providers with minimal overhead. Switching between models is just a string change : update "openai/gpt-4" to "anthropic/claude-3" and you're done. It uses official provider SDKs when available, which helps since providers handle their own compatibility updates. No proxy or gateway service needed either, so getting started is pretty straightforward - just pip install and import. Currently supports 20+ providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, and AWS Bedrock. Would love to hear what you think!

    Hi HN, I've been developing Portkey Gateway, an open-source AI gateway that's now processing billions of tokens daily across 200+ LLMs. Today, we're launching a significant update: integrated Guardrails at the gateway level. Key technical features: 1. Guardrails as middleware: We've implemented a hooks architecture that allows guardrails to act as middleware in the request/response flow. This enables real-time LLM output evaluation and transformation. 2. Flexible orchestration: The gateway can now route requests based on guardrail verdicts. This allows for complex logic like fallbacks…

    I built this because Claude Code loads every rule and skill into context on every prompt. With 50+ rules and skills installed, you're burning tokens on Docker best practices while writing a commit message. ai-nexus runs a hook before Claude starts — it picks 2-3 relevant rules and skills via keyword matching (free) or GPT-4o-mini (~$0.50/mo), and physically hides the rest. Claude doesn't even know they exist. An ETH Zurich study (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.11988) on 12 repos and 5,694 PRs found that loading all rules at once hurts performance by ~3% and increases…

    For the past few weeks, I've been working with Gemini on a concept for a new kind of AI architecture – one focused on creating a true AI partner, not just a tool. We've built a conceptual model (Model v2.1) that incorporates a prime directive, self-awareness of its limitations, creative problem-solving, and a learning loop. The goal is to create the open-source "mind" for the next generation of humanoid robots and virtual beings. We believe the biggest challenge in robotics isn't hardware, but a general-purpose AI brain. We've decided to tackle this head-on as an open-source project. All the…
