What it does
A self-hosted tool for building computer use workflows on a real desktop inside Docker. Runs in a Docker container with a full browser and desktop. You can watch it work over VNC, pause and take control, then hand back. git clone https://github.com/aadya940/orbit-ui cd orbit-ui cp .env.example .env # Set GEMINI_API_KEY (or any supported LLM key) docker compose up Open http://127.0.0.1:3000 Windows: use 127.0.0.1 not localhost — on Windows, localhost resolves to IPv6 and the connection will fail.

Construct ComputerAug 2026 · construct.computer · ▲378We are building Construct Computer a cloud OS where autonomous AI agents ("Constructs") live and do your day to day work. You can observe them in real-time through a desktop OS frontend. The idea is agent-native infrastructure: instead of agents being API calls, they're persistent processes with their own compute, storage, and network identity. With integrations with a vast ecosystem of business tools, the Construct Agent can do anything from scheduling meetings, preparing documents, to deep researching the web, join meetings, and automate long running business operations with minimal human…

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…
