What it does

Parallax is a local-first AI orchestrator for software development tasks. It pulls work from Linear or GitHub Issues, creates isolated worktrees, generates a plan first, waits for approval, then executes changes and opens or updates the related branch and PR while keeping control on your machine.

    Parallax – Coordinate adversarial AI agents over durable streamsMar 2026 · github.com · ▲5

    Parallax is a CLI for orchestrating independent AI agent cohorts (Claude, Codex, etc.) over isolated, append-only logs or streams. Each cohort operates on its own log and does not see the intermediate reasoning of others i.e. disagreement is enforced at the infrastructure layer rather than prompted at runtime. Agents write to sequenced, durable logs and a separate moderator agent subscribes to all streams, monitors progress, issues steering instructions when necessary, and synthesizes outputs at the end. That means, coordination is just done over a log with natural language, which allows us…

    Parabola.io – Automate your work with visual programming2018 · parabola.io · ▲291

    Hi HN! I’m Alex from Parabola (https://parabola.io). Parabola is a visual programming tool for creating functional data flows that everyone can use. It’s entirely drag-and-drop, handles data sizes much larger than a traditional spreadsheet, calculates everything live, and can run your flows on a schedule of your choosing. I used to work in strategy consulting, doing data analytics for SMBs and Fortune 500 companies. The amount of time wasted on menial tasks was astounding. Things like cleaning data, generating custom reports, creating human workflows to solve shortcomings in third…

  • 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…
