Federal contract research for humans and AI agents

What it does

Search federal contract opportunities and public award history in a clear web app, through a hosted MCP server, or with a documented REST API. Public research needs no API key. OAuth adds saved searches and tracked pursuits without delete or billing access.

Connect AI agents to public federal opportunities, selected awards, vendors, references, changes, exclusions, and solicitation documents.

Use the public MCP server without a key, or run a live reference lookup before connecting an agent. Trace notice IDs, solicitations, awards, PIIDs, UEIs, CAGE codes, NAICS, PSC, and FAR citations. Look up NAICS, PSC, FAR, SBA size standards, set-asides, and agencies with source notes. Search selected public awards and vendors, compare past awards, and find date-based recompete candidates. Read finalized opportunity changes while keeping source time separate from detection time. Search the current public SAM exclusions snapshot. Stale data fails closed. Use deterministic facts and exact text spans from public notices and eligible attachments. Public research is rate limited and does not…from govgazette.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…
