Nerve: Stitches all your data sources into one mega-API
Hi HN! Nerve is a solo project I've been working on for the last few years. It's a developer tool that stitches together data from multiple sources in real-time. A lot of high-leverage projects (AI or otherwise) involve tying data together from multiple systems of record. This is easy enough when the data is simple and the sources are few, but if you have highly nested data and lots of sources (or you need things like federated pagination and filtering), you have to write a lot of gnarly boilerplate that's brittle and easy to get wrong. One solution is to import all your data into a central…

In plain words
Nerve is a developer tool that combines data from multiple sources into a single API in real-time. It eliminates the need to write complex boilerplate code for handling nested data, federated pagination, and filtering across multiple systems. Instead of setting up a data warehouse with pipelines and stale copies, developers can query live data directly from its original sources through Nerve's unified interface. The tool is designed for projects that require integrated data from multiple systems of record.

NerveDec 2025 · usenerve.com · ▲122Hi HN, Tanooj and Aziz here from Nerve. We’re building a work AI that handles full end to end workflows rather than just chat replies. It starts with proactively figuring out what’s important to you - anything you need to take action on or updates on any projects - and then moves all the way through the process. Nerve gathers the relevant information, drafts documents, writes jira tickets, sends emails, etc. What this looks like in practice is: say an account executive has a sales call that gets recorded into Gong, Nerve automatically picks up the call, and extracts the next steps. Users can…
Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M ModelMay 2026 · github.com · ▲776Hey 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…

Context GatewayMar 2026 · github.com · ▲220We built an open-source proxy that sits between coding agents (Claude Code, OpenClaw, etc.) and the LLM, compressing tool outputs before they enter the context window. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vFZ6MPrwjw#t=9s. Motivation: Agents are terrible at managing context. A single file read or grep can dump thousands of tokens into the window, most of it noise. This isn't just expensive — it actively degrades quality. Long-context benchmarks consistently show steep accuracy drops as context grows (OpenAI's GPT-5.4 eval goes from 97.2% at 32k to 36.6% at 1M…
Spice.ai – materialize, accelerate, and query SQL data from any source2024 · github.com · ▲177Hi HN, We're Luke and Phillip, and we're building Spice.ai OSS - a lightweight, portable runtime, built in Rust and powered by Apache DataFusion to locally materialize, accelerate, and query data tables sourced from any database, data warehouse or data lake. Phillip and I first introduced Spice on Show HN in September 2021. Since then, we’ve been schooled and humbled in every way building 100TB+ data and ML systems for the https://spice.ai cloud platform. Along with our customers, we struggled with getting fast, low-latency, high-concurrency SQL query within a budget, accessing and…

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
