Checksum AI

Your coding agent’s testing buddy

What it does

Checksum is an AI-native continuous testing platform for engineering teams shipping faster than manual QA can keep up. It generates, runs, and auto-heals end-to-end and API tests on every pull request, all as standard Playwright code in your own repo. When a test fails, Checksum tells you whether it found a real bug or a stale test, then fixes the false failures so your suite keeps pace with your coding agents.

The Checksum platform generates, runs, and heals your test suite automatically. Full E2E and API coverage with no manual maintenance.

Checksum is a continuous quality platform that runs alongside CI/CD: testing, healing, and validating automatically so teams can ship more code without trading speed for reliability. Creates production-ready Playwright tests. When your app evolves, the agent automatically heals broken tests. Creates production-ready Playwright tests.

    Checksum – generate and maintain end-to-end tests using AI2023 · ▲78

    Hey HN! I’m Gal, co-founder at Checksum (https://checksum.ai). Checksum is a tool for automatically generating and maintaining end-to-end tests using AI. I cut my teeth in applied ML in 2016 at a maritime tech company called TSG, based in Israel. When I was there, I worked on a cool product that used machine learning to detect suspicious vehicles. Radar data is pretty tough for humans to parse, but a great fit for AI – and it worked very well for detecting smugglers, terrorist activity, and that sort of thing. In 2021, after a few years working in big tech (Lyft, Google), I joined…

  • 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…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
