We built SwiftAI, an open-source Swift library that lets you use Apple’s on-device LLMs when available (Apple opened access in June), and fall back to a cloud model when they aren’t available — all without duplicating code. SwiftAI gives you: - A single, model-agnostic API - An agent/tool loop - Strongly-typed structured outputs - Optional chat state Backstory: We started experimenting with Apple’s local models because they’re free (no API calls), private, and work offline. The problem: not all devices support them (older iPhones, Apple Intelligence disabled, low battery, etc.). That…

Agnes AI ▲124Hi HN, I'm Daniel, part of the team at Agnes AI, a Singapore-based AI lab. We've been building quietly for a while and I wanted to share what we've made with this community and get honest feedback from people who actually build things. What is Agnes AI? Agnes AI gives you access to three models through a single free API. We have text, image and video models. The API is fully OpenAI-compatible, so you can just swap the base URL to https://apihub.agnes-ai.com/v1 and use your Agnes API key. No other changes needed in your existing code. It is completely free. No need to submit…

Hi everyone, we’re a small team, supported by Mozilla, who are working on re-imagining a UI for training, tuning and testing local LLMs. Everything is open source. If you’ve been training your own LLMs or have always wanted to, we’d love for you to play with the tool and give feedback on what the future development experience for LLM engineering could look like.

api2ai parses OpenAPI Spec to generate an agent that can make API calls. For context, I recently need to explore a handful of API suites and thought LLMs can help expedite this process. After some digging, I found OpenAPI Specs are perfect fit for function calling. Based on a text prompt, api2ai can select the right endpoint and properly parse request params and make api calls. It also handles authentication, currently it supports basic auth, api keys, and bearer token schemes. The tool has helped me explore and see APIs in action without a deep dive into the docs or using postman. It’s open…
