Ota
Contract-first repo-readiness infrastructure
What it does
Ota is an open-source CLI for repo readiness. It helps developers understand what a repo needs, why it is not ready, and how to make it runnable reliably. Most repos look complete until you actually try to use them. The real setup and runtime truth is usually scattered across READMEs, scripts, CI config, env files, and tribal knowledge. Ota surfaces what is missing, explains blockers, and helps bring it into a trustworthy, runnable state across local development, CI, and automation.

What works now: user signups, org creations, private/public repos, and importing GitHub repositories (both as read-only mirrors and full migrations). So basically, you can create, push and pull to a repo, but we don't have many features quite yet (issues, PRs, CI). What is a bit unique is: 1) we built it in Rust and 2) the website is a little odd. Its design is inspired by CLIs (e.g., fzf, broot, vim) instead of web apps, and as such, lacks some affordances that you might typically expect in favor of keyboard-driven instant navigations (we have the very ambitious goal of an FCP of…

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…
