    Built a multi-agent research system with OpenAI Agents SDK where specialized AI agents collaborate autonomously: Master Orchestrator → Data Analyst → Statistician → Report Writer Each agent has specific expertise. The orchestrator delegates tasks. All agents can execute code securely to solve problems. Example workflow: "Analyze e-commerce data" - Data Analyst: writes Python to load/clean data, spots trends - Statistician: performs significance tests, calculates growth rates - Report Writer: synthesizes findings into executive summary This demonstrates OpenAI Agents SDK's handoff system…

    I’ve been using deep research on OpenAI and Perplexity and it’s been just amazing at gathering data across a lot of related and chained searches. Just earlier today, I asked “What are some marquee tech companies / hot startups (not including the giants like FAAMG, Samsung, Nvidia etc.)”. It’s a pretty involved question and looking up “marquee tech startups” or "hot tech startups" on Google gave me nothing useful. Deep research on both ChatGPT and Perplexity gave really high quality responses with ChatGPT siding on slightly larger scaleups and Perplexity siding more on up and coming…

    Hi everyone, I made an open-source Python toolkit/library, named Cogitator, to make it easier to try and use different chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning methods. The project is at the beta stage, but it supports using models provided by OpenAI and Ollama. It includes implementations for Cot strategies and frameworks like Self-Consistency, Tree of Thoughts, and Graph of Thoughts. GitHub link of the project: https://github.com/habedi/cogitator

    Hey HN, I'm excited to announce a new release of OntoCast — an open-source framework for extracting semantic triples and building knowledge graphs (KG) from unstructured documents (PDF, JSON, Markdown, and more). Before extracting facts, OntoCast automatically selects or creates a relevant ontology and iteratively refines it, leading to much more accurate and context-aware fact extraction. This is especially valuable for cross-domain or complex documents where a static ontology falls short. - Agentic workflow: Uses LLMs (OpenAI/Ollama) to drive the extraction and ontology refinement…

    Yesterday I built something that probably shouldn’t exist yet. In 9 hours, I created a cognitive architecture demonstrating emergent reasoning. It follows a 5-step loop: Plan → Reason → Act → Reflect → Respond. Adding a WebSearchTool to test extensibility, the agent initially failed its first search, reflected on poor results, adapted its query, and then succeeded. This behavior wasn’t programmed; it emerged naturally from the architecture. Five hours later, I integrated a FileManagerTool — it worked on the first try. Like code compiling first time, except this was intelligence composing…
