LangWatch▲669Founder here. Langy is an AI engineer that lives inside our platform, LangWatch. It reads your production traces, writes Scenario tests and evaluations for the problems it finds, opens a pull request on your repo, and proves the fix by running those simulations in CI. A human still merges. Reachy robot from Hugging Face arrived on the same week we were planing on launching it, so we wanted to use for the launch. So we it wired to our Langy which actually lives on the platform, and asked it to test our own customer-support voice agent. On the video you can see it writing the agent tests…

Hiya HN! Just released Artillery Probe - a Swiss army knife for testing HTTP from the CLI. Think mini-curl with better UX for common use-cases, plus a couple of extra features. Would love for you to try it and give some feedback! https://www.artillery.io/blog/swiss-army-knife-for-http-testing and: npm install artillery@latest What does it do? - First of all, it's a HTTP client! It does all the usual stuff you'd expect from a HTTP client... HTTP methods, request bodies, custom headers, forms, Basic Auth etc. - Got some JSON or XML back? It'll pretty-print it, and syntax…

If you've built any web-based app in the last 15 years, you probably used something like Datadog, New Relic, Sentry, etc. to monitor and trace your app, right? Why should it be different when the app you're building happens to be using LLMs? So today we're open-sourcing OpenLLMetry-JS. It's an open protocol and SDK, based on OpenTelemetry, that provides traces and metrics for LLM JS/TS applications and can be connected to any of the 15+ tools that already support OpenTelemetry. Here's the repo: https://github.com/traceloop/openllmetry-js A few months ago we launched…

I made an open source, MIT license Typescript library based on some of the latest research that generates prompt injection attacks. It is a super minimal/lightweight and designed to be super easy to use. Keen to hear your thoughts and please be responsible and only pen test systems where you have permission to pen test!

Current AI-assisted CLI tools are often part of larger systems and work better on Linux. I built llm-term to address these. It's a Rust-based tool that compiles into a single binary file. You only need to download the binary, add it to your PATH, and configure your OpenAI key to get started. While llm-term offers an option for gpt-4o, it works great with gpt-4o-mini. So it's not costly. I appreciate any feedback or suggestions.
