What it does

Vira AI turns open-source models and AI projects into ready-to-use software. It combines model and tool routing, Generative UI, Projects, reusable Outputs, Studios, developer APIs, and distributed inference in one platform. Use Vira directly as a workspace or connect its open-model infrastructure to your own products. Describe the outcome you need; Vira can return a conversation, structured interface, workflow, or model response you can keep using.

Turn real AI failures and expert corrections into behavior changes you can test, version, release, roll back, and explain. Vira is the Agentic Behavior & Autonomy Control Plane to scale AI autonomy without losing control.

Stop patching the same AI mistake in prompts, tickets, and provider-specific code. Turn the correction into a change you can review, test, release, explain, and roll back. Scale AI autonomy without losing control: Vira keeps decision rights, runtime authority, and measurable outcomes explicit across the systems you already run. Teach AI behavior once. Test it. Release it. Keep it consistent. A correction should become a testable product change—not another prompt patch. Teach, test, release, trace, govern, and optimize without collapsing everything into one prompt. Support escalation, agent actions, model migration, approval, policy conflict, and expert feedback. AI product teams, agent…from tryvira.xyz

    I built an open-source AI agent for security testing to find and fix vulnerabilities in your code. I’ve noticed how bad security vulnerabilities have gotten with everyone shipping AI code slop, so I wanted to build something that allows for vibe-coding at full speed without compromising security. Traditional security tools aren’t effective, and manual pen-testing can’t keep up with the rapidly growing AI code This tool runs your code dynamically, finds vulnerabilities, and validates them through actual exploitation. You can either run it against your codebase or enter your (or someone…

    Hey HN! When implementing an AI-powered feature for a project, we—and many people we've talked to—often reach a point where we have to choose an AI model but aren’t sure which one best fits our constraints or where to even start. Unfortunately, the advice to "just use chatgpt" is not always a good one. What if I want an open-source model? What languages does it support? What about context window size or the number of parameters? There are thousands of AI models already out there and many of them are perfect for certain problems. That’s why we’ve carved out this part of our product as a free…

  • Making an open source project regrouping the most interesting AI APIs2023 · github.com · ▲8

    Hi, I'm working on a project that regroups all best AI (AIaaS) from different providers (GCP, AWS, Azure, DeepL, etc.) in one API (https://github.com/edenai/edenai-apis). I've got asked the question : why aren't you regrouping Open Source models (instead of proprietary APIs) into one repo? Well because it doesn't make sens to deploy and maintain large pytorch (or other framework) AI models (especially for document parsing, image and video moderation or speech recognition) in every solution that wants AI capabilities. So using APIs makes way more sens. Deployed OpenSource…

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
