In plain words

Only 1 LLM can fly a drone is an AI tool available on GitHub that enables language models to control drone operations. It is designed for developers and researchers working with large language models who need drone integration capabilities. The tool appears to focus on LLM-based drone control, though specific technical details about which model works or how the system operates are not provided.

Inspired by Pokémon Snap (1999). VLM pilots a drone through 3D world to locate and identify creatures. %%{init: {'theme': 'base', 'themeVariables': { 'background': '#ffffff', 'primaryColor': '#ffffff'}}}%% flowchart LR subgraph Controller["**Controller** (Rust)"] C[Orchestration] end subgraph VLM["**VLM** (OpenRouter)"] V[Vision-Language Model] end subgraph Simulation["**Simulation** (Zig/raylib)"] S[Game State] end C -->|"screenshot + prompt"| V C <-->|"cmds + state<br>**UDP:9999**"| S style Controller fill:#8B5A2B,stroke:#5C3A1A,color:#fff style VLM fill:#87CEEB,stroke:#5BA3C6,color:#1a1a1a style Simulation fill:#4A7C23,stroke:#2D5A10,color:#fff style C…from github.com

  • LLM Gateway2025 · llmgateway.io · â–²296

    I built an OpenAI-compatible LLM gateway that routes requests to OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, vLLM, llama-server, SGLang... anything that speaks &#x2F;v1&#x2F;chat&#x2F;completions. Single Go binary, one YAML config file, no infrastructure. It does the things you'd expect from this kind of gateway... semantic routing via a three-layer cascade (keyword heuristics, embedding similarity, LLM classifier) that picks the best model when clients omit the model field, weighted round-robin load balancing across local inference servers with health checks and failover. The part I think is most…

    Hi HN! We're Gabriel & Viraj, and we're excited to open source TensorZero. To be a little cheeky, TensorZero is an open-source platform that helps LLM applications graduate from API wrappers into defensible AI products. 1. Integrate our model gateway 2. Send metrics or feedback 3. Unlock compounding improvements in quality, cost, and latency It enables a data & learning flywheel for LLMs by unifying: • Inference: one API for all LLMs, with <1ms P99 overhead • Observability: inference & feedback → your database • Optimization: better prompts, models, inference strategies • Experimentation:…

    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:&#x2F;&#x2F;cannoneyed.com&#x2F;projects&#x2F;isometric-nyc
