In plain words

Adam is a cross-platform AI agent library designed for developers who want to embed AI capabilities into their applications. It provides tools for building and integrating intelligent agents that can run across different platforms and environments. The library is open source and available on GitHub, making it accessible for developers looking to add autonomous agent functionality to their projects without building from scratch.

From the sources

Adam gives you a complete agent loop: tool calling, memory, sessions, voice, streaming, structured output, in one #include . Works with cloud APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Groq, Together, xAI) and local models (llama.cpp) through the same interface. Compiles on macOS, Linux, Windows, iOS, Android, and WASM. #include "adam.h" int main ( void ) { adam_init (); adam_settings_t * s = adam_create_settings (); adam_settings_set_provider ( s , ADAM_API_ANTHROPIC , getenv ( "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" ), "claude-sonnet-4-20250514" ); adam_history_t * h = adam_history_create (); adam_run_result_t r = adam_run ( s , h , "What is the capital of France?" ); printf ( "%s\n" , r . final_response ); //…from github.com

  • Evolving Agents Framework2025 · github.com · ▲139

    Hey HN, I've been working on an open-source framework for creating AI agents that evolve, communicate, and collaborate to solve complex tasks. The Evolving Agents Framework allows agents to: Reuse, evolve, or create new agents dynamically based on semantic similarity Communicate and delegate tasks to other specialized agents Continuously improve by learning from past executions Define workflows in YAML, making it easy to orchestrate agent interactions Search for relevant tools and agents using OpenAI embeddings Support multiple AI frameworks (BeeAI, etc.) Current Status & Roadmap This is…

    Hello hackernews! I'm excited to share a new open source python library I just released for creating AI agent-integrated systems. The name is `agency`. It differs from other agent libraries, most importantly in that it's intended to address a distinct part of the overall problem, that of agent integration. It is not an agent toolchain like LangChain and others. `agency` is a framework intended for safely integrating agents with computing systems and humans in a way that all parties can easily understand and communicate with each other. I've spent a lot of time on the readme which contains a…

    Hello! We just released freeact (https://github.com/gradion-ai/freeact), a lightweight agent library that empowers language models to act as autonomous agents through executable code actions. By enabling agents to express their actions directly in code rather than through constrained formats like JSON, freeact provides a flexible and powerful approach to solving complex, open-ended problems that require dynamic solution paths. * Supports dynamic installation and utilization of Python packages at runtime * Agents learn from feedback and store successful code actions as…

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
