Cencurity-Engine
Security for AI-generated code, while it’s being written
What it does
AI is writing real production code — but security still happens after generation. Cencurity Engine (CAST) enforces security during generation, in real time. It runs inline between your IDE/agent and the LLM and: - blocks dangerous code (eval, subprocess) - redacts secrets (API keys, credentials) - enforces policies in the stream Works across OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and OpenAI-compatible models (xAI, DeepSeek, LLaMA). No plugin required. 100% open source.

- FLFree local security checks for AI coding in VSCode, Cursor and Windsurf2025 · ▲43
Hi HN! We just launched Codacy Guardrails, an IDE extension with a CLI for code analysis and MCP server that enforces security & quality rules on AI-generated code in real-time. It hooks into AI coding assistants (like VS Code Agent Mode, Cursor, Windsurf), silently scanning and fixing AI-suggested code that has vulnerabilities or violates your coding standards, while the code it’s being generated. We built this because coding agents can be a double-edged sword. They do boost productivity, but can easily introduce insecure or non-compliant code. One recent research team at NYU found that 40%…

Hey HN After one too many customer firedrills regarding hallucinating or insecure AI models, we built a system to catch these issues before they reached production. The Arthur Engine has been running in Fortune 100 to AI Native Start-Ups over the past two years, putting security controls around more than 10 billion tokens in production every month. We're now opening up this service to developers, enabling you to leverage enterprise-grade solutions to provide guardrails and evals as a service, all for free. Get it on Github (https://github.com/arthur-ai/arthur-engine) to…

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…
