    Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…

    Hi HN! I built Oxyde because I was tired of duplicating my models. If you use FastAPI, you know the drill. You define Pydantic models for your API, then define separate ORM models for your database, then write converters between them. SQLModel tries to fix this but it's still SQLAlchemy underneath. Tortoise gives you a nice Django-style API but its own model system. Django ORM is great but welded to the framework. I wanted something simple: your Pydantic model IS your database model. One class, full validation on input and output, native type hints, zero duplication. The query API is…

    I’m excited to share about Mesop - a new, open-source Python UI framework that enables Python developers to quickly build delightful web apps in a scalable way. A small team of us at Google have been developing Mesop as an unofficial 20% project for the past few months. A wide range of research and product teams at Google have been using it to rapidly build internal apps and we’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback internally so now we’re looking to get feedback from the open-source community. We think that Mesop provides a unique approach to building web UIs in Python - making it both easy…

    Hello hackernews! I'm excited to share a new open source python library I just released for creating AI agent-integrated systems. The name is `agency`. It differs from other agent libraries, most importantly in that it's intended to address a distinct part of the overall problem, that of agent integration. It is not an agent toolchain like LangChain and others. `agency` is a framework intended for safely integrating agents with computing systems and humans in a way that all parties can easily understand and communicate with each other. I've spent a lot of time on the readme which contains a…

    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…

    Hi everyone, we’re a small team, supported by Mozilla, who are working on re-imagining a UI for training, tuning and testing local LLMs. Everything is open source. If you’ve been training your own LLMs or have always wanted to, we’d love for you to play with the tool and give feedback on what the future development experience for LLM engineering could look like.
