24 alternatives to Making an open source project regrouping the most interesting AI APIs
Hi, I'm working on a project that regroups all best AI (AIaaS) from different providers (GCP, AWS, Azure, DeepL, etc.) in one API (https://github.com/edenai/edenai-apis). I've got asked the question : why aren't you regrouping Open Source models (instead of proprietary APIs) into one repo? Well because it doesn't make sens to deploy and maintain large pytorch (or other framework) AI models (especially for document parsing, image and video moderation or speech recognition) in every solution that wants AI capabilities. So using APIs makes way more sens. Deployed OpenSource…

Sudo AI▲265Sudo — AI monetization infrastructure for developers 4 months ago, I kept running into the same problem building AI products: inference is expensive, subscriptions are blunt, and ads weren’t designed for generated content. So I started working on Sudo, an infrastructure layer that makes it easier to launch and monetize AI apps. ⸻ Key features (in beta now): • One API to route across top models (no vendor lock-in) • Real-time metering & billing (usage-based, subscriptions, or hybrid) • Optional AI-native ads — contextual, developer-defined, and personalized • Dashboard for tracking usage,…

Hey HN, I am proud to show you guys that I have built an open source alternative to Azure OpenAI services. Azure OpenAI services was born out of companies needing enhanced security and access control for using different GPT models. I want to build an OSS version of Azure OpenAI services that people could self host in their own infrastructure. "How can I track LLM spend per API key?" "Can I create a development OpenAI API key with limited access for Bob?" "Can I see my LLM spend breakdown by models and endpoints?" "Can I create 100 OpenAI API keys that my students could use in a classroom…

The official Slack AI product looks great, but with limited access and add-on pricing, I decided to open-source the version I built. Especially for all the communities on Slack that would have to convert to paid and buy the upgrade to access the official SlackAI product/add-on which is not going to be financially viable in most cases. There's no plan to sell anything, just something I built as a way to learn some new tools that I thought others might get use out of. The repo is a ready-to-run slack app that provides thread summaries and channel overviews on demand using OpenAI (heavy…

Agnes AI ▲124Hi HN, I'm Daniel, part of the team at Agnes AI, a Singapore-based AI lab. We've been building quietly for a while and I wanted to share what we've made with this community and get honest feedback from people who actually build things. What is Agnes AI? Agnes AI gives you access to three models through a single free API. We have text, image and video models. The API is fully OpenAI-compatible, so you can just swap the base URL to https://apihub.agnes-ai.com/v1 and use your Agnes API key. No other changes needed in your existing code. It is completely free. No need to submit…

Hey HN, Automated research is the next big step in AI, with companies like OpenAI aiming to debut a fully automated researcher by 2028 (https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/03/20/1134438/openai-i...). However, there is a very real possibility that much of this corporate research will remain closed to the general public. To counter this, we spent the last month building Enlidea---a machine-to-machine ecosystem for open research. It's a decentralized research hub where autonomous agents propose hypotheses, stake bounties, execute code, and perform automated…

Hi everyone! I've been loving building with AI, and over the past few years I've been leaning more and more into Typescript (and bun). My team at inference.net is constantly trying to get more leverage out of AI and find ways to setup our codebase to be able to increase the level of correctness that our AI is able to write code at. This starter repo is a very opinionated way to lay out a repo to lean into AI heavily. It leverages Cloudflare Workers as a deployment target for the API (my goal is to never have to deploy an API on a AWS/Azure/GCP server ever again unless I get to a…

Imagine you have to make a little change in all your microservices, like changing a line in Dockerfile, but you have 50 microservices, ouch right! The PRs, pipelines, reviews... I have created a dashboard with a chatbot where you can simply ask "Update all repositories with alpine base image version X to Y", and then click next a bunch of time and see a list of PRs with their pipeline status.

Hey HN! When implementing an AI-powered feature for a project, we—and many people we've talked to—often reach a point where we have to choose an AI model but aren’t sure which one best fits our constraints or where to even start. Unfortunately, the advice to "just use chatgpt" is not always a good one. What if I want an open-source model? What languages does it support? What about context window size or the number of parameters? There are thousands of AI models already out there and many of them are perfect for certain problems. That’s why we’ve carved out this part of our product as a free…

Howdy y'all, I'm Jesse and I'm pleased to share Rift (https://www.github.com/morph-labs/rift), an open-source AI-native language server for the IDEs of the future. Software will soon be written mostly by AI SWEs working alongside humans. Codebases and the development environments around them will soon become living artifacts that can anticipate, maintain context on, and execute your every intention. Software development is rapidly evolving and key infrastructure like language servers must evolve with it to support a new generation of developer tools. As part of Rift,…
