FORGE

Formalized Optimized Refactoring Guided by Explainable AI

FORGE launched on May 18, 2025 with 9 votes, #2,448 of 7,905 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

What it does

FORGE is a VSCode extension that uses Llama 4 to refactor your Python code — then formally proves it's equivalent to the original using Z3, CrossHair, and runtime tests. Clean, bug-free refactoring with guarantees. AI + formal methods, finally.

This is the README for your extension "forge". After writing up a brief description, we recommend including the following sections. Describe specific features of your extension including screenshots of your extension in action. Image paths are relative to this README file. Tip: Many popular extensions utilize animations. This is an excellent way to show off your extension! We recommend short, focused animations that are easy to follow. If you have any requirements or dependencies, add a section describing those and how to install and configure them. Include if your extension adds any VS Code settings through the contributes.configuration extension point. Calling out known issues can help…from github.com

  • Forge – Guardrails take an 8B model from 53% to 99% on agentic tasksMay 2026 · github.com · ▲687

    Hi HN, I'm Antoine Zambelli, AI Director at Texas Instruments. I built Forge, an open-source reliability layer for self-hosted LLM tool-calling. What it does: - Adds domain-and-tool-agnostic guardrails (retry nudges, step enforcement, error recovery, VRAM-aware context management) to local models running on consumer hardware - Takes an 8B model from ~53% to ~99% on multi-step agentic workflows without changing the model - just the system around it - Ships with an eval harness and interactive dashboard so you can reproduce every number I wanted to run a handful of always-on agentic systems…

  • Talanoa▲346

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

    We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
