Hi Hackers, Excited to share a macOS app I've been working on: https://recurse.chat/ for chatting with local AI. While it's amazing that you can run AI models locally quite easily these days (through llama.cpp / llamafile / ollama / llm CLI etc.), I missed feature complete chat interfaces. Tools like LMStudio are super powerful, but there's a learning curve to it. I'd like to hit a middleground of simplicity and customizability for advanced users. Here's what separates RecurseChat out from similar apps: - UX designed for you to use local AI as a daily driver.…

thisorthis.ai▲135Hey HN — I'm Parth, I built thisorthis.ai because I was tired of copy-pasting the same prompt across ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini tabs to figure out which model actually gave the best answer. What it does: You type one prompt, pick 2–6 models (we support 47 text models and several image models across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Meta, Amazon, Mistral, Cohere, AI21), and see every response side-by-side. There's also a feature called SmartPick that uses an LLM evaluator to score each response on Clarity, Accuracy, Completeness, and Helpfulness — useful when you're comparing 6 models and…

There's so many cool models to try but they're all in different places. In Chorus you can chat with a bunch of models all at once, and add your own system prompts. Like 4o with a CBT overview, or a succinct Claude. Excited to hear your thoughts!

We built SwiftAI, an open-source Swift library that lets you use Apple’s on-device LLMs when available (Apple opened access in June), and fall back to a cloud model when they aren’t available — all without duplicating code. SwiftAI gives you: - A single, model-agnostic API - An agent/tool loop - Strongly-typed structured outputs - Optional chat state Backstory: We started experimenting with Apple’s local models because they’re free (no API calls), private, and work offline. The problem: not all devices support them (older iPhones, Apple Intelligence disabled, low battery, etc.). That…
