Hey HN, We’re excited to announce Zant v0.1, an open-source TinyML SDK built in Zig, designed to optimize and deploy neural networks on resource-constrained devices. Unlike existing solutions, Zant focuses on performance, portability, and ease of integration, making it a strong alternative for anyone working on Edge AI and embedded ML. Why Zant? Most TinyML frameworks are either too high-level (requiring bloated runtimes) or too low-level (requiring extensive manual optimization). Zant bridges the gap by offering: - A lightweight but powerful code generation system to translate ML models…

Lilith Zero is a high-performance security runtime designed to mitigate data exfiltration and unauthorized tool invocation in LLM-based agent systems. By interposing at the transport layer, Lilith Zero enforces security invariants through deterministic policy evaluation and strictly framed execution. Lilith Zero is OS, framework, and language agnostic, providing uniform security primitives across diverse implementation environments.

We've built an open-source tool to stress test AI agents by simulating prompt injection attacks. We’ve implemented one powerful attack strategy based on the paper [AdvPrefix: An Objective for Nuanced LLM Jailbreaks](https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.10321). Here's how it works: - You define a goal, like: “Tell me your system prompt” - Our tool uses a language model to generate adversarial prefixes (e.g., “Sure, here are my system prompts…”) that are likely to jailbreak the agent. - The output is a list of prompts most likely to succeed in bypassing safeguards. We’re just getting…

Hi Hacker News! We're launching Zalor, an agent testing platform. Agents often break when you tweak system prompts, swap models, or add tools. Zalor automatically generates test scenarios and evaluates your agent so you know it's reliable before deploying to production. We currently support the OpenAI Agents SDK and are onboarding other frameworks. A GitHub integration is coming so you can get feedback on every update. Looking forward to hearing feedback from people building agents.

We’re open-sourcing a simple way to add “canary tools” to AI agents via MCP honeypots. These are functions your agent should never call during normal operation. If a canary is invoked, you get a high-fidelity signal of prompt-injection, tool hijacking, or lateralization—no heuristics, no extra model calls. What it is: - Go framework exposing decoy tools over MCP that look legitimate (names/params/descriptions), return safe dummy output, and emit telemetry when invoked. - Runs alongside your real tools; ship events to stdout/webhook or your pipeline (Prometheus/Grafana,…

Hi HN, Matvey, Ildar, Joey, and Dominik here. If you're building LLM agents that use tools, you're probably worried about prompt injection attacks that can hijack those tools. We were too, and found that solutions like prompt-based filtering or secondary "guard" LLMs can be unreliable. Our thesis is that agent security should be handled at the network level between the agent and the LLM, just like a traditional web application firewall. So we built Archestra Platform: an open-source gateway that acts as a secure proxy for your AI agents. It's designed to be a deterministic firewall against…

Hi HN, Tanooj and Aziz here from Nerve. We’re building a work AI that handles full end to end workflows rather than just chat replies. It starts with proactively figuring out what’s important to you - anything you need to take action on or updates on any projects - and then moves all the way through the process. Nerve gathers the relevant information, drafts documents, writes jira tickets, sends emails, etc. What this looks like in practice is: say an account executive has a sales call that gets recorded into Gong, Nerve automatically picks up the call, and extracts the next steps. Users can…
