AetherGrid
Open-source AI workload orchestrator, lease-based execution
AetherGrid launched on August 21, 2026.
What it does
AetherGrid is an open-source AI workload orchestrator built to survive real failure, not demo well. Jobs run under time-bound, continuously-renewed leases, not a simple assignment flag, so a crashed worker can't cause duplicate execution. Real subprocess execution with enforced timeouts, reconciliation that reclaims abandoned work, and 280 tests proving it, including one that force-kills a process ignoring SIGTERM. Clean Architecture, Domain-Driven Design,26 ADRs, live with CI/CD on every merge.

Demo: https://aether.saphal.me GitHub: https://github.com/saphalpdyl/Aether Aether is a multi-BNG (Broadband Network Gateway) ISP infrastructure lab built almost from scratch that emulates IPoE IPv4 subscriber management end-to-end. It supports IPoE/Ipv4 networks and runs a python-based vBNG with RADIUS AAA, per-subscriber traffic shaping, and traffic simulation emulated on Containerlab. It is also my first personal networking project, built roughly over a month. Motivations behind the project I'm a CS sophomore. About three years ago, I was assigned, as an…

AetherJul 2026 · runaether.dev · ▲26Since coding agents like Claude Code and Codex came out, I've been pretty obsessed with them. It's hard not to when you're getting a 20x discount on inference. I've also been frustrated by them a lot. I hated walking around with my laptop lid open while connected to a hotspot on my phone, having to tediously accept commands so I don't lose my root directory, and running out of RAM when running multiple agents that were spinning up dev servers in different worktrees at once. A lot of people would say existing cloud agents are the solution to this, as none of the above problems apply to any…

OpenTiger – Autonomous dev orchestration that never stopsFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲11Hi HN. I've been running AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) on real repos for a while now. The dirty secret of "autonomous coding" is that agents stop all the time — quota limits, test failures, policy violations, bad judgement calls. You end up babysitting them. So I asked a different question: what if the system was designed around the assumption that agents WILL fail, and the job of the infrastructure is to never let that failure become a dead end? openTiger is a "non-human-first" orchestration system that runs multiple AI agents in parallel — planner, workers, testers, judge —…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
