What it does

VidaiMock is a tiny, lightning-fast simulator that lets you test your AI apps without the expensive API bills. It emulates OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and more with zero configuration. Built in Rust for maximum speed! ✅ Physics-Accurate Simulation: Emulates real-world wire protocols (Streaming) and token delivery timing. (Chaos testing) ✅ Truly Dynamic ✅ Instant-On, Zero Fixtures: A single ~7MB binary ✅ Deeply Extensible: Use Tera (Jinja2) templates to mock any proprietary or internal LLM API

A mock LLM API server to test AI agents in CI at zero cost. Wire-accurate streaming, errors and agentic loop termination for OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini, offline and deterministic.

Vidai Community Edition is here. Free. No Expiry. Get started → Production-accurate streaming, errors and agent loops for every major provider, in CI. Deterministic, offline, no keys, no spend. # start the mock, run the suite, no keys, no spend $ docker run -d -p 8100:8100 ghcr.io/vidaiuk/vidaimock && pytest tests/agents/ agents/test_langgraph_loop.py ....

    A tool to benchmark LLM APIs (OpenAI, Claude, local/self-hosted)2025 · llmapitest.com · ▲55

    I recently built a small open-source tool to benchmark different LLM API endpoints — including OpenAI, Claude, and self-hosted models (like llama.cpp). It runs a configurable number of test requests and reports two key metrics: • First-token latency (ms): How long it takes for the first token to appear • Output speed (tokens/sec): Overall output fluency Demo: https://llmapitest.com/ Code: https://github.com/qjr87/llm-api-test The goal is to provide a simple, visual, and reproducible way to evaluate performance across different LLM providers, including…

    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! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
