Clark▲264
Hey folks, I've been building Clark solo, with the aim to match Manus agent (I really like it!) in features and capabilities, but also in its relentless ability to just complete tasks while using browser, computer etc. So far I think I've achieved 1:1 core feature parity: 1) computer use agent 2) browser use in same thread 3) wide and deep research - clark calls clark 4) integration with google tools Would love to have community feedback and for you to try it out, a couple thousand people already using it daily for very broad use cases. You can use this referral link, that hopefully works…

KVBoost – chunk-level KV cache reuse for HuggingFace, 5–48x faster TTFT▲20
If you’ve ever been curious about how GPT actually works under the hood, I built a small project you might find interesting. I implemented a GPT-style transformer from scratch in a single notebook—covering tokenization, embeddings, causal self-attention, training, and autoregressive text generation without relying on high-level abstractions. The focus was on mechanistic clarity rather than scale or performance, and the notebook is structured to read more like a technical walkthrough than an experiment log. Feedback from people who’ve built or studied transformers would be very welcome.

Vho – AST-based analysis for better AI refactoring of large codebases▲7
I built Vue-Hook-Optimizer (VHO) to solve a pain point: refactoring "mega-components" where logic is so tangled that it's hard to see where one Hook ends and another begins.

Rift – Open-source AI-native language server for your personal AI SWE▲17
Howdy y'all, I'm Jesse and I'm pleased to share Rift (https://www.github.com/morph-labs/rift), an open-source AI-native language server for the IDEs of the future. Software will soon be written mostly by AI SWEs working alongside humans. Codebases and the development environments around them will soon become living artifacts that can anticipate, maintain context on, and execute your every intention. Software development is rapidly evolving and key infrastructure like language servers must evolve with it to support a new generation of developer tools. As part of Rift,…

Rate limiting, caching and request prioritization for AI apps▲10
Generative AI applications pose a unique challenge in production. They are computationally intensive and orders of magnitude slower than traditional data-intensive applications. Scaling these applications is further complicated by expensive hardware requirements and GPU shortages. Consequently, developers are scrambling to implement home-grown caching and rate-limiting solutions, which are error-prone and difficult to get right. FluxNinja Aperture delivers a production-grade experience with a purpose-built load management platform that provides rate & concurrency limiting, caching, and…
