What it does
The internet's oldest protocol, rebuilt for AI agents. Your mail, your machine, end to end. No third parties. Human-friendly setup. LLM-friendly everything else. Or wire-up any MCP-compatible AI harnesses with the power of self-sovereign email. The options are limitless. Sending mail through someone else's API is fine until your agent needs to receive a reply, run a hook on it, and own the audit trail. The trade-offs, side by side: AIMX is a mail server for AI agents, not a Postfix replacement. Three principles drive the design: 1. One operator, one domain. No multi-user, multi-domain, or shared hosting. If you need those, run Postfix or Stalwart . 2. Direct MTA-to-MTA delivery. No relay,…from aimx.email

Hey HN, we're Haakam, Michael, and Adi. We're building AgentMail (https://agentmail.to/), an API to give AI agents their own email inboxes. We’re not talking about AI for your email, this is email for your AI. We started building email agents because they can converse with users in their inboxes, automate email-based workflows, and authenticate with third-party applications. Given these unique capabilities, we think email will be a core interface for agents. But we were building on top of Gmail, which was a struggle: poor API support, expensive subscriptions, rate limits,…

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…
