Codiff, a local diff review tool
Nowadays I review a lot of code locally that was written by llms. I used to review my own code using git + delta. It started to feel limiting with the amount of code written by llms. When looking at a large diff on Friday I pointed an llm at diffs.com and trees.software and told it to build an app. It only took 16 minutes, is extremely fast for large diffs, beautiful and minimal. Today I polished it up and added all the features that I need. It has file filters, search, an llm walkthrough mode, and review comments that you can paste back into your llm. I will be using Codiff a lot, and can…

In plain words
Codiff is a local diff review tool designed for developers who need to examine large code changes, particularly those generated by language models. It offers file filtering, search functionality, an LLM walkthrough mode for guided reviews, and the ability to add review comments that can be exported back to AI tools. The tool prioritizes speed and minimal design while handling substantial diffs more effectively than traditional git-based review workflows.

CodeRLM – Tree-sitter-backed code indexing for LLM agentsFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲81I've been building a tool that changes how LLM coding agents explore codebases, and I wanted to share it along with some early observations. Typically claude code globs directories, greps for patterns, and reads files with minimal guidance. It works in kind of the same way you'd learn to navigate a city by walking every street. You'll eventually build a mental map, but claude never does - at least not any that persists across different contexts. The Recursive Language Models paper from Zhang, Kraska, and Khattab at MIT CSAIL introduced a cleaner framing. Instead of cramming everything into…

A recent HackerNews comment - “For one programmer's hourly cost, you could run 4000 CPU cores continuously. Can there really be no practical way to apply thousands of cores to boosting the programmer's productivity?” https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19339467 This is what we have come up with. The current productivity tools - Slack, Asana, Trello, Facebook Workplace, etc. - are great, but lack direct access to your code. Building a tool directly around the code makes it more powerful for software developers: CoDiff. https://codiff.com The foundation of CoDiff is a…

Hello, everyone! We posted on HackerNews a couple of weeks ago debuting CoDiff (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19593637), a productivity tool centered around your code. Since then, we’ve received a lot of useful feedback from the community that we have integrated with our product. Now, even as an individual, CoDiff (https://CoDiff.com) can boost your productivity by notifying you as soon as your local changes conflict with upstream commits. Conversely, if you do not see a conflict marker on your files within CoDiff, you can rest assured that you will be able to…

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…
