Agent Forge, an agent framework, heuristic routing and graph execution
I’ve been working on a temporal database for agents that combines graphs, tables, and compute. While building it, I ended up needing an agent framework that could handle both simple tool-use tasks and more graph-based execution, so I pulled that out into a separate project, Agent Forge. Agent Forge uses a two-tier execution model: * a heuristic router decides whether a request is simple or complex * simple requests go through a lightweight agent loop with a single system prompt and tool-calling loop * more complex requests can use memory retrieval, reflection constraints, tree search, and…

- ACAgent-contracts, contract-based LangGraph agentsJan 2026 · github.com · ▲8
Hi HN, I’m the author of agent-contracts, a Python library that explores a contract-based approach to structuring LangGraph agents. When building larger LangGraph-based systems, I kept running into the same issues: - node responsibilities becoming implicit - state dependencies spreading across the graph - routing logic getting harder to reason about - refactoring feeling increasingly risky agent-contracts is an attempt to make these boundaries explicit. Each node declares a contract that describes: - which parts of the state it reads and writes - what external services it depends on - when…

Hi HN, I built this to address what I see as the fundamental problem with ReAct-style agents: compounding errors. Even a small mistake made early enough in the loop can snowball and ruin the final output. But with search, agents can look multiple steps ahead and backtrack before committing to a particular trajectory. This has already been shown in a few papers to help agents avoid mistakes and boost overall task performance, but there's no easy way to actually build these kinds of agents. So that's why I made this framework. I believe search will eventually become table stakes for building…

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…
