What it does
The very first software that uses Claude Code as its operating system, building itself around you as you work, and reinventing how IT runs.
OpenIT is an open-source, file-based workspace for small teams, powered by Claude Code. Share knowledge, reports, commands, and files, and assign each other tasks.
A shared workspace your team runs by chatting in plain English. It does the work and remembers how. Everything lives as plain files: knowledge, commands, tasks, files, and reports, in a folder you already sync. No vendor database. Yours to keep. Apache 2.0. macOS and Windows today, Linux next. Free to download, fork, and make yourfrom openit-app.github.io

OpenWork – An open-source alternative to Claude CoworkJan 2026 · github.com · ▲231hi hn, i built openwork, an open-source, local-first system inspired by claude cowork. it’s a native desktop app that runs on top of opencode (opencode.ai). it’s basically an alternative gui for opencode, which (at least until now) has been more focused on technical folks. the original seed for openwork was simple: i have a home server, and i wanted my wife and i to be able to run privileged workflows. things like controlling home assistant, or deploying custom web apps (e.g. our customs recipe app recipes.benjaminshafii.com), legal torrents, without living in a terminal. our initial setup…

Parallel agents, diff reviewer, and multi-model comparisons

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…
