Case study: A coding agent refactors a 750k LOC app, no code review
In the following case study, the AI coding agent rebuilds a core system invariant in just three days, with minimal human input, running 31 verification passes and correcting 201 errors, before shipping code with zero bugs, zero regressions, and zero technical debt. https://aisovereignlabs.ai/docs/case-study/liveSession/case-... Disclaimers: This case study is NOT: - a project written from scratch - yet another Rust transpilation - a clone of an open-source project found in the LLM's training data - a Super Mario clone in HTML It IS: - a complex application…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
In the following case study, the AI coding agent rebuilds a core system invariant in just three days, with minimal human input, running 31 verification passes and correcting 201 errors, before shipping code with zero bugs, zero regressions, and zero technical debt. https://aisovereignlabs.ai/docs/case-study/liveSession/case-... Disclaimers: This case study is NOT: - a project written from scratch - yet another Rust transpilation - a clone of an open-source project found in the LLM's training data - a Super Mario clone in HTML It IS: - a complex application maintenance task, about a unique problem with no open-source equivalent, to the best of my knowledge - a true engineering feat, 90% driven by the agent powered by ChatGPT 5.6 Sol Reasoning MAX - 201 bugs, ambiguities, and architectural flaws automatically fixed by the AI agent - proof that one can program perfectly within complex legacy software without any need for human code review Feedback welcome.

Hello all, I'm a software developer. Over the last few months more and more of my work has turned into using coding agents instead of typing the whole code myself. Usually a few claude sessions at once, sometimes codex, one per feature or per revealed bug. I ran them in a split terminal for a few weeks, and quickly spotted two main problems. The first is that I couldn't easily tell which agent was stuck waiting on me and which was still working, so I'd cycle through sessions and checking on them. The second one: agents sharing a single branch step on each other. Two of them could be editing…

The main goal of this was to be able to not just run multiple Claude Code sessions at once, but actually manage them and keep track of what I was doing. Sometimes this is multiple attempts on the same task, sometimes I work several tasks at once. Really I was just sick of twiddling my thumbs waiting for the coding agent to finish, and I wanted it to be easy to work on/review/test another change while I waited.

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…

I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…
