Panopticon AI – Open-source platform for military AI research
Hi HN, I’m sharing a project I’ve been working on: Panopticon AI, an open-source platform designed for researchers in military modeling and simulations. It’s web-based, integrates with OpenAI Gym, and is intended to support advancements in military AI through realistic simulations, wargaming, and reinforcement learning. The project is still under active development, and I’m looking for contributors to help shape its direction. It’s released under the Apache 2.0 license, so anyone can use, modify, or contribute to it. What Panopticon AI Offers: - A simulation environment that is browser-based…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN, I’m sharing a project I’ve been working on: Panopticon AI, an open-source platform designed for researchers in military modeling and simulations. It’s web-based, integrates with OpenAI Gym, and is intended to support advancements in military AI through realistic simulations, wargaming, and reinforcement learning. The project is still under active development, and I’m looking for contributors to help shape its direction. It’s released under the Apache 2.0 license, so anyone can use, modify, or contribute to it. What Panopticon AI Offers: - A simulation environment that is browser-based for creating and editing scenarios. - Runs on Python to support training agents. - Utilizes Stable Baselines for reinforcement learning. - Basic data included, with a focus on Air Force scenarios. Why I Built This: There’s a lack of open-source tools tailored for military AI research, and many existing solutions are proprietary or inaccessible. My goal is to lower the barrier for academics, researchers, and smaller organizations to explore this space and innovate. How You Can Help: - Try out the platform and share your feedback or ideas for improvement. - Contribute to the codebase or documentation on GitHub. - Suggest or help implement new features and use cases. If this aligns with your interests, check out the links above or comment below. I’d love to hear your thoughts and see how we can make this project even better together! docs.panopticon-ai.com app.panopticon-ai.com

Hey HN! I just released a suite of AI models for deployment on UAV and other "overhead" devices to provide some understanding of the world below. The objective is to empower all sorts of open-source use cases around search and rescue, wildfire prevention, ground risk mitigation for flight over populated areas etc... The neural networks are trained for a bunch of different devices from big GPUs to tiny edge AI cameras like the Luxonis OAK, with some optimised ones for Nvidia TensorRT and other cool bits and pieces too. The main release package also includes some boilerplate code for running…
- ABA batched, concurrent wrapper for OpenAI gym library2020 · ▲12
Hello HN, new user here, so please let me know if I break some rules. Currently I've been working on training reinforcement learning agents, and OpenAI gym, while is great, runs only one agent at a time. Hence I decided to extend it. I built a wrapper around OpenAI gym, such that it now runs several environments concurrently. All while (mostly) having the same call signature as OpenAI gym. And it is published to PyPI for anyone interested. For more details, please visit: https://github.com/Chimpan-Z/agymc Feedback really appreciated! Have a good day everyone!

Hi HN, We're a small team building AI tutors out of India, and as you might guess, this means we spend a ton of time writing, testing, and refining prompts for LLMs. When we started out, we were using the OpenAI playground but things became tedious when we wanted to compare responses from different models. We tried a bunch of other playgrounds but found them lacking in some features so we built our own.

Hello!

Saw a plethora of tools coming out as we witness here every week. I'd broadly categorize them into the…

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…

- TITetris in a PDF▲1,289
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…
