Codios - AI Agent Caging Infrastructure

Signed capability contracts for AI agents

What it does

AI agents trust each other because they're on the same network. That's not trust — it's hope. Codios gives every agent a cryptographic identity (Ed25519 + DID:key) and issues signed contracts between them. Agent A can only call Agent B within the scopes the contract specifies. Verified locally — zero added latency, no call home on the hot path. Free tier: up to 5 agents. SDKs for Python and TypeScript. CLI for teams that prefer the terminal.

    20+ Claude Code agents coordinating on real work (open source)Feb 2026 · github.com · ▲53

    Single-agent LLMs suck at long-running complex tasks. We’ve open-sourced a multi-agent orchestrator that we’ve been using to handle long-running LLM tasks. We found that single LLM agents tend to stall, loop, or generate non-compiling code, so we built a harness for agents to coordinate over shared context while work is in progress. How it works: 1. Orchestrator agent that manages task decomposition 2. Sub-agents for parallel work 3. Subscriptions to task state and progress 4. Real-time sharing of intermediate discoveries between agents We tested this on a Putnam-level math problem, but the…

    Agent-contracts, contract-based LangGraph agentsJan 2026 · github.com · ▲8

    Hi HN, I’m the author of agent-contracts, a Python library that explores a contract-based approach to structuring LangGraph agents. When building larger LangGraph-based systems, I kept running into the same issues: - node responsibilities becoming implicit - state dependencies spreading across the graph - routing logic getting harder to reason about - refactoring feeling increasingly risky agent-contracts is an attempt to make these boundaries explicit. Each node declares a contract that describes: - which parts of the state it reads and writes - what external services it depends on - when…

  • 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…

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
