TensorBlock Forge

Hey HN, We just recently launched Forge – an AI model API platform that lets you access and call AI models from multiple providers in one place. Find it on our website: https://tensorblock.co/forge Some key features: Unified API Key – Store multiple provider API keys and access all with a single Forge API key. OpenAI API Compatible – Drop-in replacement for any application that uses OpenAI’s API. Advanced Security – Strong Encryption for API keys with JWT-based authentication. Client Management – Easy key and user management via included command-line interface. Open-source –…

TensorBlock Forge launched on July 7, 2025 with 378 votes, #64 of 9,224 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

In plain words

TensorBlock Forge provides a unified API for accessing AI models across multiple providers with minimal code changes. Designed for developers who work with various AI services, it eliminates the need to manage separate tools and infrastructure for each provider. The platform is OpenAI-compatible, requires only three lines of code to switch between models, and prioritizes privacy. Available as open source, it addresses fragmentation in AI tool workflows.

  • Forge – Guardrails take an 8B model from 53% to 99% on agentic tasksMay 2026 · github.com · ▲687

    Hi HN, I'm Antoine Zambelli, AI Director at Texas Instruments. I built Forge, an open-source reliability layer for self-hosted LLM tool-calling. What it does: - Adds domain-and-tool-agnostic guardrails (retry nudges, step enforcement, error recovery, VRAM-aware context management) to local models running on consumer hardware - Takes an 8B model from ~53% to ~99% on multi-step agentic workflows without changing the model - just the system around it - Ships with an eval harness and interactive dashboard so you can reproduce every number I wanted to run a handful of always-on agentic systems…

    Hi HN! We're Gabriel & Viraj, and we're excited to open source TensorZero. To be a little cheeky, TensorZero is an open-source platform that helps LLM applications graduate from API wrappers into defensible AI products. 1. Integrate our model gateway 2. Send metrics or feedback 3. Unlock compounding improvements in quality, cost, and latency It enables a data & learning flywheel for LLMs by unifying: • Inference: one API for all LLMs, with <1ms P99 overhead • Observability: inference & feedback → your database • Optimization: better prompts, models, inference strategies • Experimentation:…

  • ML Blocks – Deploy multimodal AI workflows without code2024 · mlblocks.com · ▲112

    Hey everyone, ML Blocks is a node-based workflow builder to create multi-modal AI workflows without writing any code. You connect blocks that call various visual models like GPT4v, Segment Anything, Dino etc. along with basic image processing blocks like resize, invert color, blur, crop, and several others. The idea is to make it easier to deploy multi-step image processing workflows, without needing to spin up endless custom OpenCV cloud functions to glue together AI models. Usually, even if you're using cloud inference servers like Replicate, you still need to write your own image…

  • Hey HN! Introducing Trickle Magic Canvas: the world’s first Agentic Canvas, where you can visually co-create apps and websites with AI, from idea to production. Why is a canvas better? Most AI tools today rely on linear chats or text prompts. We believe that limits creativity and clarity. Canvas changes the game. 1. Every version & page at a glance. Each page and sub-page lives on a timeline. You can quickly browse, edit, and preview progress like a living, visual document — no more digging through chat logs or scattered states. 2. The canvas is the context. Unlike linear chats, you can…

  • Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

  • Hi HN - I made a site that takes a UK postcode, grabs the local MP's information and generates an AI mockup of what their ID might look like. It's a small, silly protest at the stupidity of the Online Safety Act that just came into force. edit - My open AI credits got hugged to death, please use a known postcode (like one from Kier Starmer's constituency, WC2B6NH) in the meantime.
