    Hi HN! I want to share our latest project at NEXA AI. We developed AI agent foundation models designed to transform how developers create AI agent powered apps. One major challenge we've observed with current human-computer interactions is that many simple, one-step tasks become unnecessarily complex, multi-step workflows due to limitations of current GUIs. AI agents can solve this, but existing AI agent models are slow and costly. To tackle these issues, we built lightweight AI agent models based on our Octopus V2, small language models for function calling (You can learn more about our…

    Hey HN, This is my take on the agent harness. Everything on an isometric map. Agents are grouped into "buildings" that run in a sequence or a loop; e.g., the CodeForge has an agent that writes a PRD, another one that implements, and a third that reviews. Everything is customizable, you build your own buildings/teams however you want. It's a Tauri app, really light (about 8x less energy than the closest competitor I benchmarked, so it actually runs from a coffee shop on battery). It's macOS only for now, but ping me if you are willing to test the Windows or Linux version. I've been…

    I've been building computer-use tools for a while, and I quietly launched this about a month ago (122 Stars on GH). I figured it was worth sharing here. Over the last few months, a lot of computer-use agents have come out: Codex, Claude Code, CUA, and others. Most of them seem to work roughly like this: 1. Take a screenshot 2. Have the model predict pixel coordinates 3. Click x,y 4. Take another screenshot 5. Repeat That works, but it's slow, expensive in tokens, and fragile. If the UI shifts a few pixels, things break. And the model still doesn't know what any element actually is. But the…

    Hey HN! Alex and Zack here from Nexa AI. We're excited to share something we've been working on. Our journey began with the Octopus series --- action models for mobile AI agents (https://huggingface.co/NexaAIDev/Octopus-v2). We focused on making sub-billion parameter models excel at function calling, making high accurate and fast function-calling possible on mobile and edge devices. But as we delved into developing full-fledged on-device applications, we hit a roadblock. We realized that optimizing for function calling (tool-use) alone wasn't enough. Building powerful…

    AI that actually controls your Windows/Mac desktop - clicks, types, automates workflows across any application. Native OS integration, not cloud APIs. Built this because I was tired of AI that could only chat. Free tier (Gemini) + paid tier (Claude) for reliable automation. The AI can automate complex workflows, manage files/emails, control browsers and native apps. Just launched 2 weeks ago. What workflows would you want automated?

    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…

    Hey HN! We’ve been experimenting with integrating multimodal models directly into creative workflows, and ended up building an AI-first image editor using OpenAI’s new `gpt-image-1` (from GPT-4o) inside our SDK. Instead of prompting in ChatGPT and pasting outputs into a design tool, this lets you generate, edit, and remix images all in one canvas. This allows for really interesting new workflows, like quickly mixing multiple images, or creating visual prompts by using annotations and reference on the canvas. Some key details: - Built with our plugin system in CE.SDK (CreativeEditor SDK) -…
