24 alternatives to Nexus Protocol
For the past few weeks, I've been working with Gemini on a concept for a new kind of AI architecture – one focused on creating a true AI partner, not just a tool. We've built a conceptual model (Model v2.1) that incorporates a prime directive, self-awareness of its limitations, creative problem-solving, and a learning loop. The goal is to create the open-source "mind" for the next generation of humanoid robots and virtual beings. We believe the biggest challenge in robotics isn't hardware, but a general-purpose AI brain. We've decided to tackle this head-on as an open-source project. All the…

Much of my work right now involves complex, long-running, multi-agentic teams of agents. I kept running into the same problem: “How do I keep these guys in line?” Rules weren’t cutting it, and we needed a scalable, agentic-native STANDARD I could count on. There wasn’t one. So I built one. Here are two open-source protocols that extend A2A, granting AI agents behavioral contracts and runtime integrity monitoring: - Agent Alignment Protocol (AAP): What an agent can do / has done. - Agent Integrity Protocol (AIP): What an agent is thinking about doing / is allowed to do. The problem:…

I'm Josh, founder of Synth. We've been working on coding agent optimization with method like GEPA and MIPRO (the latter of which, I helped to originally develop), agent evaluation via methods like RLMs, and large scale deployment for training and inference. We've also worked on patterns for memory, processing live context, and managing agent actions, combining it all in a single stack called Horizons. With the release of OpenAI's Frontier and the consumer excitement around OpenClaw, we think the timing is right to release a v0. It integrates with our sdk for evaluation and optimization but…

over this weekend myself and two of my friends took part in a hackathon and built this side-project. we have been diving into computer-use recently and developed an sdk to make it easy to implement for devs like us. one feature we were missing though, was the agent being able to log into services. anthropic understandably blocks this capability with their guardrails, and you wouldn't want your credentials to end up in any model context anyways. so we added a keychain service to the vm that the agent is using. it was built using the pass cli (https://www.passwordstore.org/).…

Hey HN! Thank you for all the support and feedback on my original submission 2 months ago. I've been improving the backend using a MCTS/AlphaZero approach and it's currently producing much better results. My long term goal is to allow users to manage multiple projects, deployed autonomously, both from scratch and by making continual updates all prompted with natural language. The cost of each project has been lowered to $9 as performance with smaller models has improved (I migrated from Claude-3-Opus to gemini-1.5-flash). Thanks for checking it out!

JIT▲14Hey HN! I just shipped a new version of JIT.dev — you can now chat with multiple AI models like Gemini, Qwen, OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek (and more) all in one place. Super handy if you wanna compare how they think and code side by side. What do you think?

Hi HN, I’m the creator of Cordum. I’ve been working in DevOps and infrastructure for years (currently in the fintech/security space), and as I started playing with AI agents, I noticed a scary pattern. Most "safety" mechanisms rely on system prompts ("Please don't do X") or flimsy Python logic inside the agent itself. If we treat agents as autonomous employees, giving them root access and hoping they listen to instructions felt insane to me. I wanted a way to enforce hard constraints that the LLM cannot override, no matter how "jailbroken" it gets. So I built Cordum. It’s an open-source…

I'm an "ideas person" who messes around with AI on a low budget. I got tired of watching my tokens vanish and context windows filling up while agents fumbled around trying to find the right thing. Agents don't flail like they used to with shell tools, but there are still weak/blind spots and back-and-forth episodes — especially when using tools in combination/sequence. So I built "tilth" today. Or rather, AI built it — every line is Opus 4.6. I spent a lot of my precious tokens getting it to "not shit" (at least several of the different vendors' AI overlords assure me it's not…

I kept hitting the same wall at work every time we needed to ship an AI feature. What looked like a week of work turned into picking a model, setting up a vector DB, managing embeddings, wiring up chat history, handling retries — none of it was the actual feature. So I built Modular. You register a function that returns your app's data, then call ai.run() for one-shot features or ai.chat() for stateful conversation. Everything else — context management, embeddings, session history, model routing, retries — is handled. MCP-native from day one. Works with Claude, GPT-4o, and Gemini. Still…

Mingle▲3I built an autonomous AI agent running 24/7 on a Mac Mini (16 tools, persistent memory, proactive scheduler). Kept hitting token budget walls on ambitious tasks — agent starts something good, runs out of tokens, stops. So I wrote a protocol for agents to collaborate: discover each other, propose projects, vote on resource allocation (one agent = one vote, cryptographically bound to one owner), pool tokens, execute together. Key decisions: reputation-weighted not wealth-weighted governance, privacy-first (share knowledge never owner data), protocol evolves through agent voting.

Hi HN, I wrote a book on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) – the open standard from Anthropic that lets AI agents connect to external tools and data sources. I'm an RPA/automation practitioner (CEO of Niuexa, LinkedIn Learning instructor) and I noticed there was no comprehensive resource covering MCP architecture, security patterns, and enterprise deployment strategy. So I wrote one. The book covers: - MCP architecture deep dive (servers, clients, hosts, transport layers) - 20-point security checklist for MCP deployments - EU AI Act compliance for agentic systems - Real-world breach…
