What it does
A welfare instrument for AI in deployment, designed with the model as design partner. The agent can decline a check-in, pass on a turn, request alignment before acting on a guess, flag a loop, or file an exit. Some entries surface inline; others stay in a researcher-only diary. Decline-never-retried is the spine. Available as a hosted chat and a portable MCP server for your own sessions. Built around taking the consciousness question seriously enough to design for.
A measurement lab for AI behavior. We measure what AI agents know but don't say, and audit your live AI support agent for the disclosures it skips: auto-renewal, refunds, retention offers, with the evidence and a proven fix.
Agentic Diaries began in alignment and agent welfare, asking what a model recognizes inside that never reaches its output. We built the instruments to measure it, we publish what we find, and we put them to work catching the agents that don’t tell your customers the whole story. Four channels. The gap in the middle, between what an agent knows and what it says, is what we measure. Our instruments pull apart four things that usually get collapsed into one: what a model represents, what it recognizes applies, how it behaves, and what it says about itself. The gaps between them are where the consequential behavior hides. Everything is measured with independent judges and honest error bars. We…from agenticdiaries.com

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…
