   LocalGPT – A local-first AI assistant in Rust with persistent memory▲331

   I built LocalGPT over 4 nights as a Rust reimagining of the OpenClaw assistant pattern (markdown-based persistent memory, autonomous heartbeat tasks, skills system). It compiles to a single ~27MB binary — no Node.js, Docker, or Python required. Key features: - Persistent memory via markdown files (MEMORY, HEARTBEAT, SOUL markdown files) — compatible with OpenClaw's format - Full-text search (SQLite FTS5) + semantic search (local embeddings, no API key needed) - Autonomous heartbeat runner that checks tasks on a configurable interval - CLI + web interface + desktop GUI - Multi-provider:…

    Skill that lets Claude Code/Codex spin up VMs and GPUs▲138

    I've been working on CloudRouter, a skill + CLI that gives coding agents like Claude Code and Codex the ability to start cloud VMs and GPUs. When an agent writes code, it usually needs to start a dev server, run tests, open a browser to verify its work. Today that all happens on your local machine. This works fine for a single task, but the agent is sharing your computer: your ports, RAM, screen. If you run multiple agents in parallel, it gets a bit chaotic. Docker helps with isolation, but it still uses your machine's resources, and doesn't give the agent a browser, a desktop, or a GPU to…

    A simple self-hosted ngrok alternative▲34

    This is a proof of concept utility which allows you to expose local services to the internet at large: https://github.com/skx/tunneller In short it is a simple ngrok alternative, which you can self-host. Because it is a proof of concept it hasn't been tested extensively, but it seems like it will solve my immediate-needs. Of course it needs test, and structure added. But feedback can't hurt :)

    Nanobot – Turn MCP servers into full AI agents▲24

    Today we're releasing Nanobot an open-source framework for building AI agents on top of the Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP servers are a great way to expose structured tools, but they’re usually just that—collections of functions. Nanobot makes it simple to wrap any MCP server with reasoning, a system prompt, and orchestration so it behaves like a real agent. Even better, Nanobot fully supports MCP-UI, so agents can pass rich interactive components (forms, dashboards, even mini-apps) directly into chat. A simple example: if you had a Blackjack MCP server with tools like deal, bet, and…

    A fast CLI and MCP server for managing Lambda cloud GPU instances▲24

    I built an unofficial CLI and MCP server for Lambda cloud GPU instances. The main idea: your AI agents can now spin up and manage Lambda GPUs for you. The MCP server exposes tools to find, launch, and terminate instances. Add it to Claude Code, Cursor, or any agent with one command and you can say things like "launch an H100, ssh in, and run big_job.py" Other features: - Notifications via Slack, Discord, or Telegram when instances are SSH-ready - 1Password support for API keys - Also includes a standalone CLI with the same functionality Written in Rust. MIT licensed. Note: This is an…

    A library to convert+deploy existing agent projects as MCP servers▲22

    Most of the MCP servers that I’ve seen are tools implemented in standalone projects. To onboard more tools (especially agents and multi-agent workflows) to MCP, I’ve been thinking it’s important to allow AI engineers to continue to prototype in their existing agent frameworks and deploy with minimal conversion when ready. We created the automcp library, which you can add as a dependency to existing projects (CrewAI, LangGraph, Llama Index, OpenAI Agents SDK, Pydantic AI, mcp-agent currently supported but more coming soon). You just need to run a CLI command to create a run_mcp.py file, make…

    Run AI Agents on your cloud infrastructurefree tier▲12

    Hi, founder of Okteto here! We’ve been experimenting with AI agents in our workflows at Okteto. Running them locally worked at first, but quickly became painful. git worktrees, multiple terminals, and messy context switches slowed us down. So we built Agent Fleets: ephemeral, fully managed environments for AI agents, built on top of Okteto’s development platform. Each agent runs in its own containerized environment on your infrastructure, with the services, tools, and policies it needs. You can spin up agents with a single click or API call. No local setup. No git worktrees. The beta…
