Orbit AI
Hi HN, I built Orbit to solve a visibility gap in AI cost management. Provider dashboards show aggregate API spend, but don't answer which product feature is driving it. When your bill spikes, you're left guessing whether it's the chatbot, document processor, or an agent workflow running inefficiently. Orbit attributes every LLM call to a specific feature, task, or customer. You wrap your existing AI client with our SDK, tag calls with metadata, and get real-time dashboards showing cost, latency, and error rates broken down by feature. Key capabilities: Per-feature cost and performance…

What it does
Orbit helps teams understand how AI behaves inside their product. Vendor dashboards show usage by model or API key. Orbit connects AI usage to product features using SDK-based runtime data. Track cost, latency, errors, and usage at a feature level — using real production data, not estimates.
See how your AI features behave in production. Track cost, latency, errors, and usage at a feature level using real runtime data.
In production, AI doesn't fail loudly. It fails expensively — through silent loops, prompt changes, and features that look fine but quietly burn margin. Why is our AI bill 3x higher this month? We need answers before the board meeting. Checked the logs. We made 847k API calls yesterday, mostly to gpt-4o. But the logs don't tie back to features — I'd have to dig through code paths manually. Was it the new summarization feature? The chat widget? A looping workflow? I genuinely don't know. Vendor dashboards show totals. Logs show requests. Neither tells you which feature is burning margin or why. Orbit ties every LLM call to a product feature — and soon, to entire workflows — so you can see…from withorbit.io

Arch2024 · github.com · ▲314Hey HN — I’m Adil from Katanemo (with Salman, Shuguang, and Meiyu) We previously shared an early version of this project as ArchGW. Based on customer feedback, the scope expanded from “LLM routing and model access” into something broader: delivery infrastructure for agentic applications. We renamed it to Plano and reworked the architecture accordingly. The problem On-the-ground AI practitioners will tell you that calling an LLM is not the hard part. The really hard part is delivering agentic applications to production quickly and reliably, then iterating without rewriting system code every…

Argmin AIJul 2026 · argminai.com · ▲32Hey, HN community! We've built Argmin AI after shipping LLM features where the demo worked, then the bill and latency got unpredictable in production. Prompts expanded, context grew, retrieval got noisy, retries appeared, and agent workflows added loops. Argmin AI optimizes LLM-related expenses as a system: 1. prompt and context efficiency 2. model selection and routing 3. RAG inefficiencies and caching opportunities 4. agent workflows (tool calls, retries, loop control) Changes are validated with evals and guardrails (tests, gates, judges), tailored to your quality definition and goals.…

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://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
