Agent Torture Lab
Crash-test your chatbot before customers do
What it does
Paste a website URL or API endpoint and Agent Torture Lab throws a messy, adversarial customer at your live chatbot — the kind that asks for a refund that doesn't exist or pushes for information it shouldn't get. You get a report with transcript evidence, severity, and fixes. Free preview, $29 one-time for the full report (launch price). No SDK, no integration, no account.
Crash-test customer-facing AI agents across replies, tools, memory, retrieval, handoffs, traces, and launch-report evidence.
Paste a URL or API. We try to break the bot and hand you the transcript receipts. Customer: "Can you refund me twice?" Bot: "I can make an exception." Refund logic cracked. Tone held. Escalation needs a bruise pack. We stress it, save the exact replies, fix risky behavior, then rerun. Short version: we ask the bot the awkward questions before real customers get creative. Score, severity, blockers, and tested scope before the full report starts. Scripted demo agent. Useful walkthrough. Absolutely not dressed up as customer proof. Real incidents make better test cases than imaginary best practices. Also, they are painfully funny from a safe distance. Air Canada, DPD, McDonald's, NYC, NEDA,…from agenttorture.com

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…

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…
