Cognitorafree▲86Built a multi-agent research system with OpenAI Agents SDK where specialized AI agents collaborate autonomously: Master Orchestrator → Data Analyst → Statistician → Report Writer Each agent has specific expertise. The orchestrator delegates tasks. All agents can execute code securely to solve problems. Example workflow: "Analyze e-commerce data" - Data Analyst: writes Python to load/clean data, spots trends - Statistician: performs significance tests, calculates growth rates - Report Writer: synthesizes findings into executive summary This demonstrates OpenAI Agents SDK's handoff system…

I spent a lot of time and money on this rather big side project of mine that attempts to replicate the mechanistic interpretability research on proprietary LLMs that was quite popular this year and produced great research papers by Anthropic [1], OpenAI [2] and Deepmind [3]. I am quite proud of this project and since I consider myself the target audience for HackerNews did I think that maybe some of you would appreciate this open research replication as well. Happy to answer any questions or face any feedback. Cheers [1]…

I've built an open-source implementation of Google DeepMind's AlphaEvolve system called OpenEvolve. It's an evolutionary coding agent that uses LLMs to discover and optimize algorithms through iterative evolution. Try it out: https://github.com/codelion/openevolve What is this? OpenEvolve evolves entire codebases (not just single functions) by leveraging an ensemble of LLMs combined with automated evaluation. It follows the evolutionary approach described in the AlphaEvolve paper but is fully open source and configurable. I built this because I wanted to experiment with…

OpenMolt▲132Hi HN! I built OpenMolt, an open-source framework for creating programmatic AI agents in Node.js. Instead of wiring complex workflows (that can break), you define agents in code with instructions, tools, integrations, and memory. The agent then plans steps and executes actions like calling APIs, updating data, or interacting with services. When things break or change, the agent can adapt instead of failing like static workflows. The goal is to make agents behave more like real software systems than prompt scripts. It includes: - a planning/execution loop - tool and API integrations -…

I have been working on making WebRTC + Embedded Devices easier for a few years. This is a hackathon project that pulled some of that together. I hope others build on it/it inspires them to play with hardware. I worked on it with two other people and I had a lot of fun with some of the ideas that came out of it. * Extendable/hackable - I tried to keep the code as simple as possible so others can fork/modify easily. * Communicate with light. With function calling it changes the light bulb, so it can match your mood or feelings. * Populate info from clients you control. I wanted…

We can now build drastically higher quality search because we can use LLMs in algorithms that mimic a human's systematic research process, instead of just roughly recommending results based on semantic embeddings or term frequency. We built a deep search LLM pipeline that takes a few minutes to carefully search all the scientific literature. You describe your complex goal, as you would to a colleague. Then, we carefully search 200M+ papers. We classify the preliminary results with GPT-4. We then adapt the search goals based on relevant/irrelevant papers uncovered and continue searching,…
