24 alternatives to Blink-Edit – Cursor-style next-edit predictions for Neovim (local LLMs)

Hey HN, we built a pure-Lua Neovim plugin that brings Cursor-style next-edit predictions to Neovim, running entirely on local models. Tab to accept, Esc to reject. GitHub: https://github.com/BlinkResearchLabs/blink-edit.nvim We're Blink Research Labs (https://github.com/BlinkResearchLabs) - an open research collective building AI coding tools in the open. Our philosophy is simple: if it's not open, it's not research; if it's not fast, it's not usable. We think the best AI coding tools shouldn't be locked behind $20/month subscriptions or closed-source…

    Hey HN, we trained and open-sourced a 1.5B model that predicts your next edits, similar to Cursor. You can download the weights here (https://huggingface.co/sweepai/sweep-next-edit-1.5b) or try it in our JetBrains plugin (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/26860-sweep-ai-autocomp...). Next-edit autocomplete differs from standard autocomplete by using your recent edits as context when predicting completions. The model is small enough to run locally while outperforming models 4x its size on both speed and accuracy. We tested against Mercury…

    I've been developing this on and off for a few weeks. There are a few videos on the README page showing demos of the plugin. I just shipped an update today, which adds: - inline editing with forced tool use - better pinned context management - prompt caching for anthropic - port to node (from bun) Check it out!

    Hi HN! We're Gabriel & Viraj, and we're excited to open source TensorZero. To be a little cheeky, TensorZero is an open-source platform that helps LLM applications graduate from API wrappers into defensible AI products. 1. Integrate our model gateway 2. Send metrics or feedback 3. Unlock compounding improvements in quality, cost, and latency It enables a data & learning flywheel for LLMs by unifying: • Inference: one API for all LLMs, with <1ms P99 overhead • Observability: inference & feedback → your database • Optimization: better prompts, models, inference strategies • Experimentation:…

    Hey HN, This is my take on the agent harness. Everything on an isometric map. Agents are grouped into "buildings" that run in a sequence or a loop; e.g., the CodeForge has an agent that writes a PRD, another one that implements, and a third that reviews. Everything is customizable, you build your own buildings&#x2F;teams however you want. It's a Tauri app, really light (about 8x less energy than the closest competitor I benchmarked, so it actually runs from a coffee shop on battery). It's macOS only for now, but ping me if you are willing to test the Windows or Linux version. I've been…

    I wrote an nvim plugin that does fuzzy time parsing on plain english dates to help you create + organise periodic notes. I use it daily at work and home. Hope it's helpful to others. :) note: not using NLP, LLMs or 'true' fuzzy parsing as per academic literature; just normal recursive descent parsing

    Hey HN, I'm Saai, one of the creators of Sylix. I made this open-minded version of Cursor where you can get all of the core features of Cursor but in a fully customizable IDE (Ctrl+K, @docs, parallel agents). We love Cursor so much, but there are so many other features we're building, including all things like multi-edit, parallel swaps, agent indexing (but not the traditional one), parallel LSP, or maybe... we might give agents a better understanding of the codebase via multi-semantic memory instead, alongside in-search grep for your system files or workspace. Sylix will be open source once…

    Hi HN, I built OpenGraviton, an open-source AI inference engine that pushes the limits of running extremely large LLMs on consumer hardware. By combining 1.58-bit ternary quantization, dynamic sparsity with Top-K pruning and MoE routing, and mmap-based layer streaming, OpenGraviton can run models far larger than your system RAM—even on a Mac Mini. Early benchmarks: TinyLlama-1.1B drops from ~2GB (FP16) to ~0.24GB with ternary quantization. At 140B scale, models that normally require ~280GB fit within ~35GB packed. Optimized for Apple Silicon with Metal + C++ tensor unpacking, plus…

    Switching back-and-forth a bit between Spacemacs and Neovim, I got inspired by https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ctjhoa&#x2F;spacevim and thought to myself "Hey, that's a great idea!", and so I went into my first time actually toying with vim script (love-hate relationship atm). The result of the last couple of days so far is the ground work for a Neovim specific port of Spacemacs, located here https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Tehnix&#x2F;spaceneovim. The major difference between that and the existing spacevim is that the layers are separated out from the core, and can be updated via an…

    Hey HN, we're Andrew and Mat and we're building Void, an open source Cursor alternative. Our editor is an open-source VSCode fork. Our primary goal is to create a fully-featured AI editor where you can keep your data completely private. Going open source is really important because it let us take the logic that would normally live on a server, like prompt building or message handling, and run it on your local machine instead. This way you can do things like self-host Llama 3.1 or Gemma and never have your data leave your computer. You can also just send your prompts directly to foundational…

    Hello everyone, This past Saturday, I decided to make purchase on Cursor after hearing how good it is with Composer function that allow to generate code on fly, especially on Claude Sonnet (not an affiliate of the products, just curious!). To make the purchase worthwhile, I challenged myself to build a Google Sheets extension in just 24 hours that allows users to connect with any Language Model (LLM)—whether it’s ChatGPT, Claude, Groq, or Gemini. The Idea The idea was simple: a formula like =Claude(prompt, model) that lets users integrate AI anywhere in their sheets. The most impressive…
