I spent a few hours last weekend testing whether AI can replace code by executing directly. Built a contact manager where every HTTP request goes to an LLM with three tools: database (SQLite), webResponse (HTML/JSON/JS), and updateMemory (feedback). No routes, no controllers, no business logic. The AI designs schemas on first request, generates UIs from paths alone, and evolves based on natural language feedback. It works—forms submit, data persists, APIs return JSON—but it's catastrophically slow (30-60s per request), absurdly expensive ($0.05/request), and has zero UI…

I spent the last few days building out a nicer ChatGPT-like interface to use Mistral 7B and Llama 3 fully within a browser (no deps and installs). I’ve used the WebLLM project by MLC AI for a while to interact with LLMs in the browser when handling sensitive data but I found their UI quite lacking for serious use so I built a much better interface around WebLLM. I’ve been using it as a therapist and coach. And it’s wonderful knowing that my personal information never leaves my local computer. Should work on Desktop with Chrome or Edge. Other browsers are adding WebGPU support as well - see…

Hi HN, Code Llama was released, but we noticed a ton of questions in the main thread about how/where to use it — not just from an API or the terminal, but in your own codebase as a drop-in replacement for Copilot Chat. Without this, developers don't get much utility from the model. This concern is also important because benchmarks like HumanEval don't perfectly reflect the quality of responses. There's likely to be a flurry of improvements to coding models in the coming months, and rather than relying on the benchmarks to evaluate them, the community will get better feedback from people…

Hey HN, I made Browser-Use, an open-source tool that lets (all Langchain supported) LLMs execute tasks directly in the browser just with function calling. It allows you to build agents that interact with web elements using natural language prompts. We created a layer that simplifies website interaction for LLMs by extracting xPaths and interactive elements like buttons and input fields (and other fancy things). This enables you to design custom web automation and scraping functions without manual inspection through DevTools. Hasn't this been done a lot of times? Good question, as a general…

Humans vs LLMs▲138Hi HN, We just launched [AI Page Ready](https://aipageready.com) — a tool to check if your web pages are discoverable and understandable by AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. It runs 40+ checks across six areas: Discoverability & Crawlability, Structured Data & Semantics, Content Quality, Answer-Ready Formatting, Accessibility & Rendering, and Deep AI LLM-specific checks. Would love your feedback — especially if you work in eCommerce, SEO, content, SaaS, or are trying to get traffic from AI tools. (Also open to ideas on what else to add to the tool!)

Twigg▲157Hi HN, we’re Jamie and Matti, co-founders of Twigg. During our master’s we continually found the same pain points cropping up when using LLMs. The linear nature of typical LLMs interfaces - like ChatGPT and Claude - made it really easy to get lost without any easy way to visualise or navigate your project. Worst of all, none of them are well suited for long term projects. We found ourselves spending days using the same chat, only for it to eventually break. Transferring context from one chat to another is also cumbersome. We decided to build something more intuitive to the ways humans think.…

Code Mode▲144I’ve been testing a simple idea inspired by Apple/Cloudflare/Anthropic: LLMs are far better at writing a small program than coordinating multiple tool calls. So instead of giving the model 10+ tools, I exposed one: a TypeScript sandbox with access to the same interfaces. The model writes a script → it runs once → done. What changed - +68% reduction in token use - No multi-step drift or retries - Local models (Llama 3.1 8B / Phi-3) became much more reliable Repo: https://github.com/universal-tool-calling-protocol/code-mode Curious whether others have seen…

Hello HN! I've been thinking about the idea of a LLM thats a clone of me - instead of generating replies to be a helpful assistant, it generates replies that are exactly like mine. The concept's appeared in fiction numerous times (the talking paintings in Harry Potter that mimic the person painted, the clones in The Prestige), and I think with LLMs, there might actually be a possibility of us doing something like this! I've just released a fork of the facebookresearch/llama-recipes which allows you to fine-tune a Llama model on your personal WhatsApp conversations. This adaptation can…

I've been building a tool that changes how LLM coding agents explore codebases, and I wanted to share it along with some early observations. Typically claude code globs directories, greps for patterns, and reads files with minimal guidance. It works in kind of the same way you'd learn to navigate a city by walking every street. You'll eventually build a mental map, but claude never does - at least not any that persists across different contexts. The Recursive Language Models paper from Zhang, Kraska, and Khattab at MIT CSAIL introduced a cleaner framing. Instead of cramming everything into…

We've been building data pipelines that scrape websites and extract structured data for a while now. If you've done this, you know the drill: you write CSS selectors, the site changes its layout, everything breaks at 2am, and you spend your morning rewriting parsers. LLMs seemed like the obvious fix — just throw the HTML at GPT and ask for JSON. Except in practice, it's more painful than that: - Raw HTML is full of nav bars, footers, and tracking junk that eats your token budget. A typical product page is 80% noise. - LLMs return malformed JSON more often than you'd expect, especially with…

I built PageToChat, a Chrome extension that lets you invoke an LLM from any page via the right-click menu. What’s different: it doesn’t sell credits. It just opens your chosen provider in a new tab, selects the right model, fills your prompt, and uploads attachments-using the LLM account you already have. Why? Most “AI from any page” tools proxy your data or make you buy credits. I wanted something transparent that: - stays in your browser, - uses the official provider UI, - and doesn’t require another wallet of tokens. How it works 1. Right-click -> PageToChat. 2. A sidebar appears where…

I recently saw a post from the Vercel CEO pointing out that LLMs understand websites much better when they can request: `Accept: text/markdown` Most websites today are built for humans. When AI agents try to consume them, they get complex HTML instead of clean, structured content. So I built *accept-md* – a simple open-source package for Next.js that helps solve this. Getting started is intentionally minimal: ``` npx accept-md init ``` After that, your existing Next.js routes can automatically respond with Markdown whenever an AI agent (or any client) requests it. No redesigns, no CMS…

I’ve been playing around with local LLMs for the past couple of months and decided to build something that can run on an iPhone. It’s a universal app built with SwiftUI and the excellent ggml library. The model is an SFT fine tuned and 4 bit quantised version of the RedPajama-INCITE-Chat-3B-v1 OSS LLM. It works reasonably well on recent-ish (~3 year old) iPhones, iPads and Macs. It was launched on the App Store yesterday[1] and Product Hunt today[2]. It seems to be reasonably ok at natural language interactions, but given its size, does pretty badly at coding and reasoning. Also, it…

Hi HN! I built LLM OneStop (https://www.llmonestop.com), a unified interface for accessing multiple AI language models in one place. The main problem I wanted to solve: constantly switching between different AI platforms, managing multiple subscriptions, and losing conversation context when comparing outputs across models. Key features: Switch between GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Llama, and other models mid-conversation Compare responses side-by-side Single interface instead of juggling multiple tabs/subscriptions Free tier available to try it out (no credit card needed) "Connect"…

This is like ChatGPT but simpler, with less features (for now). It offers unlimited access to o3, Claude Sonnet 4 and other models for the pro plan. It offers access to o4-mini and the like for the free version. Requests are unlimited up to rate limits that we hope apply to less than 2% of users (they're transparent and can be seen on the account page). I was sick of having these like t3.chat or abacus.ai that give you very few messages for the $8-$10 / month subscription, so wanted to create something closer to Cursor's new pricing but transparent. Image generation will come soon, I…
