Openlayer – Test, fix, and improve your ML models
Hey HN, my name is Vikas, and my cofounders Rish, Gabe and I are building Openlayer: http://openlayer.com/ Openlayer is an ML testing, evaluation, and observability platform designed to help teams pinpoint and resolve issues in their models. We were ML engineers experiencing the struggle that goes into properly evaluating models, making them robust to the myriad of unexpected edge cases they encounter in production, and understanding the reasons behind their mistakes. It was like playing an endless game of whack-a-mole with Jupyter notebooks and CSV files — fix one issue and…

In plain words
Openlayer is a platform for testing, evaluating, and monitoring machine learning models in production. It helps ML teams identify and fix issues like unexpected edge cases and model errors that traditional software testing tools cannot handle. The platform is designed for teams struggling with error analysis, model robustness, and understanding prediction failures across diverse datasets. It addresses the challenge of manually tracking issues through notebooks and spreadsheets by providing a centralized system for evaluation and observability.

Openlayer is the AI governance and observability platform for regulated enterprises: one place to test, monitor, and govern every model, agent, and AI system your company runs.
The AI governance platform that tests before you ship, monitors what's live, and enforces policy in real time. Audit-ready evidence comes standard. Your controls are not keeping up. Your controls are not keeping up. Copilots, agents, and models are going to production across every business unit. Most companies can't list them, few can test them, and almost none can prove to a regulator what any of them did last Tuesday. Each layer delivers value on its own. Together, they turn scattered AI into systems you can govern, observe, and prove are under control. Know every AI system running, org-wide inventory and automatic shadow-AI detection. You can’t govern what you can’t see, so this is where…from openlayer.com

OpenSEOJul 2026 · openseo.so · ▲928Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…

TensorZero2025 · github.com · ▲307Hi 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:…

Talanoa▲345Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
