Hercules by TestZeus
The world’s 1st open-source AI agent for end-to-end testing
What it does
Zero coding | Zero Maintenance | Autonomous Power for Testing Automation | TestZeus Hercules is the world’s first open-source AI testing agent. Just describe what to test in plain natural language & Hercules autonomously runs end-to-end tests like a real user navigating the UI, validating outcomes, and reporting results without any code involved. It’s agent-first, fully open source, and built to reduce flaky tests and heavy QA maintenance.

Hey HN, After spending way too many late nights wrestling with brittle test scripts and UIs that seem to change just to spite me, we decided to do something about it. So we built Hercules, an open-source testing agent aiming to make end-to-end testing of modern web applications less of a Herculean task (pun absolutely intended). P.S.- Paid solutions can cost upwords of $15000 and still struggle with maintenance. What is Hercules? Hercules is an AI-powered testing agent that turns simple Gherkin steps into fully automated end-to-end tests, eliminating the need for coding skills. It leverages…

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…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
