What it does
A free, OpenAI-compatible LLM API. No credit card, no billing, no trial. Every so often a response ends with a small ASCII block from a sponsor. Forty columns, plain text, nothing to block. That is the whole business model. You never see one in an agent turn — requests with tools, structured output, or a long system prompt are exempt, so aider, Cursor and Continue behave normally. Three models. Two env vars and any OpenAI client works. Sign in with GitHub, get a key in a minute.
Developers stopped visiting websites. They are in Cursor, VS Code and the terminal. infr.ad puts your brand inside the answers they are already reading.
Every place you used to buy their attention is emptying out. They ask a model now and never open the tab. That question has a Stack Overflow page with millions of views. Today it is answered without anyone opening a tab. Two decades of developer attention, answered now before anyone opens a tab. Those visits are not coming back. Below the fold, collapsed sidebar, behind the blocker this audience installs first. All of it counts as delivered. Printing an impression costs a network nothing. Everyone in the chain is paid by the number they report. The attention did not disappear. It moved somewhere nobody is selling. No script, no iframe, no third-party domain. Nothing for a blocker to match…from infr.ad

A private, flat monthly subscription for open-source LLMs2025 · synthetic.new · ▲31Hey HN! We've run our privacy-focused open-source inference company for a while now, and we're launching a flat monthly subscription similar to Anthropic's. It should work with Cline, Roo, KiloCode, Aider, etc — any OpenAI-compatible API client should do. The rate limits at every tier are higher than the Claude rate limits, so even if you prefer using Claude it can be a helpful backup for when you're rate limited, for a pretty low price. Let me know if you have any feedback!

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

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…
