What it does
Your agent can pay for things. No payment code, no financial plumbing — just add Arden and it works. Try for free with testnet USDC on Base Sepolia. No real funds needed to get started. Run arden provision or ask Claude. Set a name, budget, and which vendors it can pay. Arden creates a wallet on Base automatically. Send USDC to the agent's wallet address on Base. That's its spending money. You stay in control — top it up, drain it, or pause the agent anytime. Add ARDEN_AGENT_KEY to your agent. From that point on, payments happen automatically — policy checked, executed, and tracked. You write zero payment code. Provision agents, manage budgets, and execute payments from your terminal.

AgentGuard – Auto-kill AI agents before they burn through your budget2025 · github.com · ▲47Your AI agent hits an infinite loop and racks up $2000 in API charges overnight. This happens weekly to AI developers. AgentGuard monitors API calls in real-time and automatically kills your process when it hits your budget limit. How it works: Add 2 lines to any AI project: const agentGuard = require('agent-guard'); await agentGuard.init({ limit: 50 }); // $50 budget // Your existing code runs unchanged const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({...}); // AgentGuard tracks costs automatically When your code hits $50 in API costs, AgentGuard stops…
Autonomous AI agents that monitor the stock market for you2024 · decodeinvesting.com · ▲40We created autonomous AI Agents that monitor the stock market for you while you go about your day. How it works: Tell our AI Assistant what you want to monitor, and it creates a project for our team of autonomous AI Agents. You'll get notifications (email + app) when significant events matching your criteria are detected. For short-term projects, you'll be notified when your analysis is ready. Behind the scenes: When you give the AI Assistant a request to monitor an entity (like a stock or group of stocks), an AI Project Manager plans the project and breaks the project down into manageable…

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…
