What it does

Runs AI coding agents inside isolated Docker containers. Agents get no root access, no Docker socket, and no ability to escalate privileges — safe to run on your host machine. Mounts ~/.pi/agent for persistent extensions and auth, ~/.agents/skills for skills, and forwards API keys and pi-related env vars from the host. ln -sf " $( pwd ) /pi/pi " " /usr/local/bin/pi " pi --build Usage # Run in the current directory (uses the base image, unrestricted network) pi # Run with a specific language runtime pi --lang go pi --lang php8.4 pi --lang php8.5 # Rebuild all images and run pi --build # Enable the proxy sidecar (restricted network access via allowlist) pi --proxy # Enable the proxy with a…from github.com

    Hello Hacker News! We're Yangqing, Xiang and JJ from lepton.ai. We are building a platform to run any AI models as easy as writing local code, and to get your favorite models in minutes. It's like container for AI, but without the hassle of actually building a docker image. We built and contributed to some of the world's most popular AI software - PyTorch 1.0, ONNX, Caffe, etcd, Kubernetes, etc. We also managed hundreds of thousands of computers in our previous jobs. And we found that the AI software stack is usually unnecessarily complex - and we want to change that. Imagine if you are a…

  • 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…
