Anthropic and OpenAI's publicly available models are explicitly guard-railed so that they refuse offensive tasks. And their cyber-focussed models are gated for enterprises. This leaves SMEs and mid market open to major vulnerabilities. AI can be used as both an adversarial and defensive tool in the world of cyber. A worst case outcome is if only the adversaries have access. Meanwhile, most existing AI cyber tools are just wrappers. The problem is that they still have all the guardrails on from the foundation model where they will inherit its refusals. For this project we've post-trained a…

Boxes.devfree tier, from $19/mo▲112Hi HN, we’re Nick and Drew, and we’re building boxes.dev – the first cloud-only agentic dev environment (ADE) that gives every Codex and Claude Code agent its own cloud computer. We’re two engineers who previously built Gem (co-founder/CTO and first hire), and we spent the last year coding almost exclusively using Codex and Claude Code. It’s been a huge change to how we code, and it’s been exhilarating seeing the models keep getting better – but we eventually realized that developing on localhost was holding us back: - Git worktrees are clunky to set up and use for parallelizing work -…

Hello hackernews, I am looking for feedback for Labophase.com which is a app that focuses on returning results from multiple ai models at the same time. I currently support: GPT4-Turbo, Claude-2, Google PaLM2, Llama2, Mistral, and OpenOrca. Working on supporting Gemini soonTM. I built it to solve a couple of personal pains I experienced. After reaching out to a couple of users in r/localllama, seems that people would have similar approach to address hallucination, availability, and comparing ai models. Initial feedback came in with some surprises that I'm hoping to get feedback from the…

Hey HN, after years building some of the core AI and NLU systems in Google Search, we decided to leave and build outside. Our goal was to put the advanced ML and DS techniques we’ve been using in the hands of all software engineers, so that everyone can build AI and Search apps at the same level of performance and sophistication as the big labs. This was a hard technical challenge but we were very inspired by the MVC architecture for Web development. The intuition there was that when a data model changes, its view would get auto-updated. We built a similar architecture for AI. On one side is…

Built this after getting tired of fighting local AI setup (CUDA issues, dependencies, API configs). Goal was to make something that just runs locally without all the overhead. Happy to answer questions or get feedback.

We build runtime security for AI agents. The playground started as an internal tool that we used to test our own guardrails. But we kept finding the same types of vulnerabilities because we think about attacks a certain way. At some point you need people who don't think like you. So we open-sourced it. Each challenge is a live agent with real tools and a published system prompt. Whenever a challenge is over, the full winning conversation transcript and guardrail logs get documented publicly. Building the general-purpose agent itself was probably the most fun part. Getting it to reliably use…

Hey HN! Alex and Zack from Nexa AI here. We are excited to share a project our team has been passionately working on recently, in collaboration with Jiajun from Meta, Qun from San Francisco State University, and Xin and Qi from the University of North Texas. Running AI models on edge devices is becoming increasingly important. It's cost-effective, ensures privacy, offers low-latency responses, and allows for customization. Plus, it's always available, even offline. What's really exciting is that smaller-scale models are now approaching the performance of large-scale closed-source models for…

Each AI has strengths - Claude reasons well, Gemini handles long context, Codex integrates with GitHub. But switching between them means losing context. Built HiveTechs: one workspace where Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, DROID, and 7 others run in integrated terminals with shared memory. Also added consensus validation - 3 AIs analyze independently, 4th synthesizes. Real IDE with Monaco editor, Git, PTY terminals. Not a wrapper. Looking for feedback: hivetechs.io
