Abide – Prevent employees from leaking API keys/NDA data to AI tools
Hi HN, We’re the founders of Abide — a tool to prevent employees from leaking sensitive data to AI models. Over the past month we’ve spoken to lots of friends at tech companies, law firms, creative agencies, and more. There was a consistent theme: companies aren’t sure how AI tools affect their data privacy and security processes. There are concerns that when employees use LLMs to write code or send emails, there's a security/compliance risk (e.g., accidentally sharing an API key in a prompt) or violation of privacy agreements (e.g., using AI to draft a memo about non-public client…

Hi HN, We’re the founders of Abide — a tool to prevent employees from leaking sensitive data to AI models. Over the past month we’ve spoken to lots of friends at tech companies, law firms, creative agencies, and more. There was a consistent theme: companies aren’t sure how AI tools affect their data privacy and security processes. There are concerns that when employees use LLMs to write code or send emails, there's a security/compliance risk (e.g., accidentally sharing an API key in a prompt) or violation of privacy agreements (e.g., using AI to draft a memo about non-public client work). The companies we spoke with have done one of two things: (a) outright banned use of LLMs until they figure out a plan or (b) sent a memo to employees telling them to be cautious. We want everyone to have the 10x productivity gain of AI, but compliance is important for a business to do right by its customers, its regulators, and keep its name out of the news. For now, we’ve built a straightforward product that does two things: (a) an app for compliance teams to upload words that cannot be sent to AI models and (b) a tool that monitors AI usage on employee laptops to enforce those policies. We’re in beta with a couple of customers, but we’d love for you to checkout the demo on the website! If you’re interested, join the sign up list and we’ll set up an account for you today to poke around. Welcome to any questions, feedback, ideas, etc.! Thanks! Jitesh & Vaibhav

- WPWe post-trained a model that pen tests instead of refusingJun 2026 · argusred.com · ▲93
Anthropic and OpenAI's publicly available models are explicitly guard-railed so that they refuse offensive tasks. And their cyber-focussed models are gated for enterprises. This leaves SMEs and mid market open to major vulnerabilities. AI can be used as both an adversarial and defensive tool in the world of cyber. A worst case outcome is if only the adversaries have access. Meanwhile, most existing AI cyber tools are just wrappers. The problem is that they still have all the guardrails on from the foundation model where they will inherit its refusals. For this project we've post-trained a…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
