    Hey HN, I wanted to share a new project we've been working on for the last couple of months called ART (https://github.com/OpenPipe/ART). ART is a new open-source framework for training agents using reinforcement learning (RL). RL allows you to train an agent to perform better at any task whose outcome can be measured and quantified. There are many excellent projects focused on training LLMs with RL, such as GRPOTrainer (https://huggingface.co/docs/trl/main/en/grpo_trainer) and verl…

    Hi HN, We’re Daniel and Mark, the creators of TrustGraph (https://github.com/trustgraph-ai/trustgraph). TrustGraph is an open source, full end-to-end AI infrastructure that automates knowledge graph building and querying along with modular agent integration. A unique aspect of TrustGraph is that the graph building is a one-time process that builds reusable knowledge cores that can be stored, shared, and reloaded. You can read more about TrustGraph knowledge cores here (https://trustgraph.ai/docs/cores/). Throughout our careers, we’ve been faced…

    Hi HN — I'm Scott. Skillscript is a small language I built to write what I want my local agent to actually do, in a form I can read and version, instead of hoping the model gets it right each time. The itch started with something small. I wanted my NanoClaw agent to run my morning brief the same way every day. Check overnight tickets, summarize the deploy pipeline, flag anything urgent. Every session, it would re-figure out how to do this from scratch, drift a little, and cost tokens for what's basically a fixed procedure. I could put it in a system prompt or an MD skill file, but those are…

    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! I'm excited to share Reagent, an open source Javascript framework to build UI rich AI agents using graph based workflow. Github: https://github.com/reagentai/reagent There are already amazing tools for building agents but most of them seem to be focused on building the AI workflow on the backend with markdown as final output. There is generative UI in AI SDK from vercel but it seems to work only with server components afaik. So, I created a framework for building AI agents with interactive UI components; you can render any component from LLM tool, update it's…

    Hey all! I'm the maintainer of mistral.rs. I just landed support for OpenAI-compatible Agent Skills via a /v1/skills endpoint, and it works with local open models. Until now Skills have basically been locked to closed models, and with the ability to have private, local intelligence becoming increasingly important, but this feature allows you to do XYZ with local models. It's fully compatible with OpenAI's /v1/skills API, so you can drop mistral.rs into your existing code with minimal difficulty. We support the accompanying tools too: /v1/files or input_file for…
