    Hey HN, this is Igor, one of the engineers behind Inworld Runtime, which we're releasing today in public preview. We built it to solve the common problem we and our customers had: engineers spend more time on AI ops and plumbing than on actual feature development. This was often due to the challenge of using Python for I/O-bound, high-concurrency workloads and complexity maintaining pipelines with streams that use always-changing ML models. Our solution is a high-performance runtime written in C++ with the core idea of defining AI logic as graphs. For instance, a basic voice-to-voice…

    Hi, I was a corporate lawyer for many years working with a lot of financial services and insurance companies. In practicing law, I noticed there was a lot of repetition in the tasks I was working on even as a highly paid attorney that could be automated. I wanted to solve the problem of dealing with a lot information and data in a practical way, using AI. This motivated me to start AI Bloks/LLMWare with my husband, who had a deep background in software and is a very early adopter of AI. We have been on this journey with our open source project LLMWare for the past 4 months, producing a…

    I run a small AI lab and playground and got super excited about Anthropics paper "Verbalizable Representations Form a Global Workspace in Language Models" (https://transformer-circuits.pub/2026/workspace/index.html) It talks about how they use a tool they call a Jacobian Lens to view inside the middle layers of LLM while it's working before it commits to a word (token). I wanted to see if I could get a version of this running on the open models and to my surprise it worked! I ran some experiments with it and build a public facing free tool anyone can use with your…

    Hey HN, I’m really excited to show off a project I’ve been tweaking and tuning for more than seven months. One thing that drove me nuts about running LLMs locally was having to use terminals, install Python, and write code for the most basic things. I write software, but I don’t want to have to write it just to use a chatbot. So, I made Wingman with a friendly interface that lets you get started with zero coding or terminals required. It runs on MacOS and Windows, and even evaluates AI models up front to determine if they will run on your machine. There’s other stuff it does, too, like let…

    I’ve been building LLM tooling for a small VC fund and found myself explaining the same mental model over and over to non-technical people around me: how a stateless LLM becomes a chatbot, how tool use works, what an agent is mechanically, and why context windows shape all of it. I never found a guide that covered that full chain at the level I wanted, so I wrote one. It’s nine short chapters, each building on the last. Deliberately simplified: the goal is a useful mental model, not a textbook. Feedback, corrections, and contributions welcome: github.com/ymyke/aiaiai

    We recently completed validation of SIGMA Runtime v0.3.7 — a cognitive architecture for LLM identity stabilization. Across 550 cycles on GPT-5.2 (five runs × 110 cycles), the system maintained 100% persona coherence with an average 33% token reduction and 13% latency improvement. The key finding: runtime parameters act as cognitive control levers, enabling dynamic trade-offs between semantic depth and efficiency. Discussion welcome — especially from those working on long-horizon coherence, cognitive attractors, and multi-cycle LLM stability.
