What it does

Agents fail silently. You fire one off, it runs, nothing comes back - no trace, no cost data, no idea which call broke. Tracea captures every tool call, LLM response, and cost spike. Automatic RCA tells you exactly why it failed. YAML detection rules catch loops, spikes, and silent errors before they hit production. Self-hosted. One Docker command. No data leaves your network. Company Brain turns every session into team memory - agents start smarter each run.

Trace every LLM call, tool call, cost spike, error, and decision path, then turn finished sessions into searchable team memory. Most observability tools are cloud SaaS — your sessions, costs, and errors transit their infrastructure. Tracea runs entirely on yours. Zero vendor lock-in. No per-event pricing. No black-box rules you can't inspect or version-control. Route issues to Slack, email, or any HTTP webhook. Tracea catches behavioral failures your logs never will. Tracea detected an infinite_loop pattern in ops-agent — the same tool was called 14 times in a single session without a terminal state. { "type" : "issue.detected" , "severity" : "high" , "issue_type" : "rate_limit" ,…from tracea.dev

    Hi 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.

    Hi HN, we're Kiran and Vijay! Over the past two years, we have built a columnar storage engine for observability: logs, metrics, and traces. Today, it's exciting for us to show what we've built on top of that foundation: LLM Agent Observability. Given how non-deterministic agents are, storing all traces without sampling was critical for us. But these traces tend to be in the MBs, sometimes GBs - we needed to store them inexpensively. We also needed the queries and analyses to be fast. To meet both these goals, we store them in S3 in our own parquet-like file format, and query them using AWS…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • 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…
