What it does

Persīv is a VS Code-based AI coding environment with BYOK, cost tracking, persistent AI memory, and a built-in free local mode

persīv is a VS Code-based AI code editor with a free built-in local model, bring-your-own API keys with no proxy, persistent memory crystals, and real-time cost tracking. Codex at cost, or for free.

A VS Code-based editor with a built-in local model, use your own API keys with no proxy, and persistent AI memory. Your code stays on your machine or goes straight to your provider. Nothing in between. Looking Glass is a 1.7B parameter model shipped with every copy of persīv. It runs entirely on your hardware — Apple Silicon optimized, fast enough for real work. Open the app, start coding. Nothing to configure. API calls go straight from your machine to Anthropic or OpenAI. No proxy, no relay, no intermediary server. Your prompts and code never touch our infrastructure. You pay the provider at their listed price — we don't see the request and we don't take a cut. Save architectural…from persiv.ai

    Hello everyone. I've been working on this experimental editor called Huzzah. I've been working almost exclusively with coding agents since January of this year, and over the past few months I began to feel utterly exhausted by them. They're great, but I'm finding it more and more tedious to write full sentences for every change I want. Not only that, but it seems there's a complexity limit for codebases - beyond a certain point the agent begins confusing itself. I'd like to go back to writing code, but I don't want to go all the way back to fully manual coding. So I've come up with this…

  • I made a better Perplexity for developers2024 · devv.ai · ▲185

    Hi HN, I am Jiayuan, and I'm here to introduce a tool we've been building over the past few months: Devv (https://devv.ai). In simple terms, it is an AI-powered search engine specifically designed for developers. Now, you might ask, with so many AI search engines already available—Perplexity, You.com, Phind, and several open-source projects—why do we need another one? We all know that Generative Search Engines are built on RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)[1] combined with Large Language Models (LLMs). Most of the products mentioned above use indexes from general search engines…
