OpenBotAuth – Open-Source Web Bot Auth with Social Registry

We're building an open source implementation for Web Bot Auth, which is an IETF draft for signed agent authentication over HTTP, without CDN lock-in. We've built a social registry, using Github login, where you can host your Signature Agent card/JWKS over a dedicated link. This saves you buying a domain and self-hosting your card. Please try it out : https://openbotauth.org/login We've also built a Wordpress plugin, which works in signed and unsigned mode. Unsigned mode gives you a preview and Signed mode gives you all access. Websites can point their origin server to our…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

We're building an open source implementation for Web Bot Auth, which is an IETF draft for signed agent authentication over HTTP, without CDN lock-in. We've built a social registry, using Github login, where you can host your Signature Agent card/JWKS over a dedicated link. This saves you buying a domain and self-hosting your card. Please try it out : https://openbotauth.org/login We've also built a Wordpress plugin, which works in signed and unsigned mode. Unsigned mode gives you a preview and Signed mode gives you all access. Websites can point their origin server to our registry or use other registries to block unverified traffic. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W5tScru5Us Docs: https://docs.openbotauth.org The next step is to build the delegation as discussed here: https://thibmeu.github.io/http-message-signatures-directory/... We'd love your feedback on our social registry and how we can improve it. :)

    Open Source Authentication and Authorization2022 · ▲128

    I’m Rishabh and the co-founder and CTO at https://supertokens.com (YC S20). We offer open-source user authentication and we just released our user roles product for companies implementing authorization. Our users are web developers, and a prominent and adjacent pain point for our users is authorization. Developers typically implement two independent solutions for authentication and authorization. Offering AuthN and AuthZ in a single solution is something we’ve been thinking about for the last few years. Quick primer, authentication is knowing who the user is, and authorization is…

    I built an open source computer-use SDK enabling agents to authenticate2025 · github.com · ▲19

    over this weekend myself and two of my friends took part in a hackathon and built this side-project. we have been diving into computer-use recently and developed an sdk to make it easy to implement for devs like us. one feature we were missing though, was the agent being able to log into services. anthropic understandably blocks this capability with their guardrails, and you wouldn't want your credentials to end up in any model context anyways. so we added a keychain service to the vm that the agent is using. it was built using the pass cli (https://www.passwordstore.org/).…

    A self-hosted OAuth 2.0 server for authenticating AI agents and machineFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲6

    MachineAuth is a self-hosted OAuth 2.0 server for authenticating AI agents and machines. What is an AI agent in this context? A software bot (like OpenCLAW, Claude Code, etc.) that makes API calls to access protected resources. Instead of sharing long-lived API keys, your agents can authenticate using OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials and receive short-lived JWT tokens. Why? No more sharing API keys Short-lived tokens (configurable) Easy credential rotation Industry-standard security

  • 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…
