What it does

KeyRunner 2.0 goes beyond API testing. Teams can now turn tested APIs into tools for AI agents, connect them through MCP or SDK, and run them securely with credentials, policies, approvals, redaction, and observability built in. It brings API development and agent execution into one workflow, without exposing production secrets to the agent.

KeyRunner converts enterprise APIs into governed AI tools. Agents execute approved actions with policy enforcement, runtime credential isolation, and full audit trails, without ever receiving secrets. Free API client for developers. Enterprise governance for agentic workflows.

KeyRunner is the governed execution layer for enterprise AI agents. Connect an existing API, add the KeyRunner SDK, onboard your agent, and run governed actions with policy enforcement, runtime secret injection, approvals, redaction, and auditability built in. KeyRunner converts enterprise APIs into governed AI tools. Connect your API, add the SDK, onboard your agent, and run governed actions with policy enforcement, secret injection, and full audit trails. Internal API workflows often require tokens, service accounts, OAuth grants, or environment secrets. When agents, scripts, or MCP tools handle them directly, credentials can leak into logs, traces, prompts, local files, or overly broad…from keyrunner.app

  • 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…

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
