OpenSOP, We got tired of agents lying to us, so we built them a harness

OpenSOP is an early open-source runtime/standard for executable agentic processes. You (or your agent) define a process in YAML, and OpenSOP exposes it as a typed REST API that agents and humans can both use. We built it because a lot of agent workflows still live in prompts, docs, or one-off scripts instead of versioned process definitions, and we wanted more control and auditability. Its under development, we are using it in production (at Coba.ai), feedback on the model, API shape, and use cases would be very useful. We wanted to share it with the community, any feedback and comments…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Especially now that Claude has released Ant https://x.com/ClaudeDevs/status/2061877343078244459 and its around the same concept.

    Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…

    Orloj – agent infrastructure as code (YAML and GitOps)Mar 2026 · github.com · ▲20

    Hey HN, we're Jon and Kristiane, and we're building Orloj (https://orloj.dev), an open-source orchestration runtime for multi-agent AI systems. You define agents, tools, policies, and workflows in declarative YAML manifests, and Orloj handles scheduling, execution, governance, and reliability. Over the past year we tried to use many different platforms/frameworks to build out agent systems and while building we hit some sort of problem with all of them, so we decided to have a go at it. Jon has worked with kubernettes and terraform for years and always liked the declarative…

  • 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…

    Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
