Cohesor

A neutral control plane for enterprise AI agents

What it does

Cohesor is the neutral control plane for AI agents. It sits between your agents - Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, agentic workflow and every LLM model: compressing ~50% of tokens, routing each request to the right-sized model, and governing spend per user for your team. One endpoint, zero code changes, 60–90% lower agent bills. Agent spend is exploding with almost no tooling to understand or control it. The neutral, cost-first control layer is the empty quadrant. Cohesor is built for exactly that.

Cohesor is the AI gateway between your agents and every model — token compression, smart routing, MCP brokering and governance behind one endpoint. Cut your agent bill 60–90%.

Route, optimize, govern, and secure AI agents while cutting costs by 60–90%. Every call your agents make crosses the same five checkpoints before it ever reaches a model — in about 41 ms. Point your agents at a single URL. Cohesor speaks the Anthropic and OpenAI protocols natively — Claude Code, Codex, opencode and any SDK drop in with a one-line change, no rewrites. Gateway keys, team scopes, rate limits and budget guards run at the edge in under a millisecond. Bad requests die here — not on your invoice. The gateway shrinks prompts and tool output losslessly before they're billed. Context stays intact; your token bill doesn't. A lightweight complexity classifier scores each prompt and…from cohesor.com

  • 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…
