SteelSpine launched on May 19, 2026 with 1 votes.
What it does
Wrap any AI agent in one command. Capture every event, compare runs, replay from any state. Zero code changes. Cryptographically signed end-to-end — EU AI Act Article 12 ready out of the box.
Tamper-evident AI agent audit trail, deterministic replay, and persistent memory. Cryptographically signed AI logs for AI agent observability and EU AI Act Article 12 logging. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Docker, Git, and 50+ OTEL frameworks.
Cryptographically signed end-to-end. SOC 2 Type II + EU AI Act Article 12 ready. Cryptographic audit chain. Deterministic replay. Persistent memory. For any AI agent, anywhere. Five audience streams below. Each has setup, pricing, and demos specific to you. The CLI capture-and-audit loop is just the first 10% of what SteelSpine does. Underneath it is a five-layer infrastructure stack — every piece runs locally, no cloud dependency, no vendor lock-in. Wrap any agent or command. Stream stdout/stderr to a hash-chained event log. Replay offline against any captured state. HMAC-SHA256 + Ed25519 chain. Tamper-evident. Independently verifiable by an auditor with just the public key. Produces…from steelspine.ai

Progress AI ObservabilityAug 2026 · telerik.com · ▲168Hi HN! We’re the team behind Fiddler, and we recently built an Agent Cache feature. It works by capturing an LLM request/response pair and, once caching is enabled, serving subsequent matching calls locally so duplicate requests never hit the provider. It’s meant to reduce three pains that show up together in agent development: token cost, feedback-loop latency, and output non-determinism. We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Write a task in plain English. An AI agent runs it on a simulator on your Mac and tells you if a real user could complete it. Save the successful run as a regression check you can replay later.

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…
