What it does
Stop paying OpenAI for dev bills. Freeloader is an open-source Node gateway that load-balances free tiers (Groq, Gemini, Cerebras) behind a Redis circuit breaker. If one rate-limits you, it instantly fails over. 100% uptime for $0.
Freeloader is an OpenAI-compatible AI gateway that maximizes free-tier LLM usage. It intelligently cascades requests across providers like Gemini, Groq, Cerebras, and Ollama. With built-in circuit breakers, automatic failover, and quota tracking, you get enterprise-grade API reliability and zero downtime without paying a single cent. - Arnav8452/Freeloader

- AAAI agents run my one-person company on Gemini's free tier – $0/monthMar 2026 · ▲16
I'm a solo dev in Taiwan. I built 4 AI agents that handle content, sales leads, security scanning, and ops for my tech agency — all on Gemini 2.5 Flash free tier (1,500 req/day). I use ~105. Monthly LLM cost: $0. Architecture: 4 agents on OpenClaw (open source), running on WSL2 at home with 25 systemd timers. What they do every day: - Generate 8 social posts across platforms (quality-gated: generate → self-review → rewrite if score < 7/10) - Engage with community posts and auto-reply to comments (context-aware, max 2 rounds) - Research via RSS + HN API + Jina Reader → feed…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

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…
