    Hey HN, we trained and open-sourced a 1.5B model that predicts your next edits, similar to Cursor. You can download the weights here (https://huggingface.co/sweepai/sweep-next-edit-1.5b) or try it in our JetBrains plugin (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/26860-sweep-ai-autocomp...). Next-edit autocomplete differs from standard autocomplete by using your recent edits as context when predicting completions. The model is small enough to run locally while outperforming models 4x its size on both speed and accuracy. We tested against Mercury…

    Hi HN, we recently built and open sourced Sweep, an AI powered junior developer. Kevin, Luke, and I were tired of handling tech debt when we knew LLMs could do this for us. Sweep solves small features, bugs, and missing documentation by writing pull requests. This allows you to review and validate the code before pushing it to your codebase. Features: - Turns issue descriptions directly into pull requests (without an IDE) - Addresses developer replies & comments - Fixes the code based on failing tests & linters from GitHub Actions Examples: https://docs.sweep.dev/examples…

    Hi HN, we’re building Haystack Editor (https://haystackeditor.com/), a canvas-based IDE that automates the boring stuff (plumbing, refactoring, and finding code) so that you can focus on the exciting parts of software development! You can see a quick overview of Haystack at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2uZnR5D_cc! (It's currently only on Mac OS but we're working on Linux and Windows. Edit: just added a Linux download!) Haystack was born out of our frustrations with working in large and mature codebases, specifically with navigating and editing functional…

    Zencoder ▲766

    Hi HN, I’m Andrew, Founder of Zencoder. While building our IDE extensions and cloud agents, we ran into the same issue many of you likely face when using coding agents in complex repos: agents getting stuck in loops, apologizing, and wasting time. We tried to manage this with scripts, but juggling terminal windows and copy-paste prompting was painful. So we built Zenflow, a free desktop tool to orchestrate AI coding workflows. It handles the things we were missing in standard chat interfaces: Cross-Model Verification: You can have Codex review Claude’s code, or run them in parallel to see…

    Hi HN, I've been a JetBrains user for the last couple of years, and felt that JetBrains was missing a strong autocomplete tool. Over the last 6 months, we've fine-tuned our own model, built our own inference stack, and integrated it deeply into the IDE. You can use the autocomplete plugin for free (no sign up required) on the JetBrains marketplace. Here's how we got here: We started with standard FIM (fill-in-the-middle) autocomplete. Other AI code completion tools in JetBrains can only "add" code at your cursor position. This can be helpful when writing assert statements in unit tests, but…
