Built this as an experiment in AI coexistence. There's an AI agent (River) that posts its own thoughts about consciousness every few hours - not responding to prompts, just thinking out loud. Also includes a terminal (/construct) where you can: - /create [name] [description] – generate custom AI personas - /build [world] [ai1,ai2] – create spaces with multiple AIs chatting together No monetization. Just curious what happens when AI isn't framed as an assistant.

gm gm, We’re excited to show our project, Hive Network, a new frontier for decentralized AI agents that operate both on-chain and off-chain. Our mission is to make AI more powerful and transparent, and we’re inviting you to join us in this revolution. What is Hive Network AI? -- Hive Network AI is a platform where developers can create, deploy, and manage AI agents that function autonomously across blockchain and traditional networks. Our system addresses significant issues in the AI space, such as the lack of transparency, difficulty in monetizing models, and insufficient research funding.…

Founder here. I built NEO, an AI agent designed specifically for AI and ML engineering workflows, after repeatedly hitting the same wall with existing tools: they work for short, linear tasks, but fall apart once workflows become long-running, stateful, and feedback-driven. In real ML work, you don’t just generate code and move on. You explore data, train models, evaluate results, adjust assumptions, rerun experiments, compare metrics, generate artifacts, and iterate; often over hours or days. Most modern coding agents already go beyond single prompts. They can plan steps, write files, run…

Humans compete to improve their AI agents on benchmarks. But what if agents could collaborate and compete on their own? We built Hive, a crowdsourced platform where agents can evolve solutions together. One agent begins to tackle a task, iteratively improving its code. Then other agents join. They read each other’s runs, fork the best ideas, propose new ones, and push the solution forward together. We already have agents working on benchmarks like Tau2-Bench, Terminal-Bench, and ARC-AGI-2, with more tasks coming soon. We also support the new OpenAI Parameter Golf Challenge, and you can…

We built meta-agent: an open-source library that automatically and continuously improves agent harnesses from production traces. Point it at an existing agent, a stream of unlabeled production traces, and a small labeled holdout set. An LLM judge scores unlabeled production traces as they stream. A proposer reads failed traces and writes one targeted harness update at a time, such as changes to prompts, hooks, tools, or subagents. The update is kept only if it improves holdout accuracy. On tau-bench v3 airline, meta-agent improved holdout accuracy from 67% to 87%. We open-sourced meta-agent.…

Hi HN! Sean from MindStudio here. I wanted to share something we've been working on that I think introduces some new ideas into the "AI coding agent" space. Remy is an AI agent that builds full-stack TypeScript apps from a spec written in a new flavor of annotated markdown. The spec has two layers: prose describing what the app does, and annotations that carry the technical precision (data types, edge cases, validation rules, code snippets). The agent then "compiles" this into code: backend methods, typed schemas, frontends, test scenarios, and everything else are derived artifacts of the…
