WorkspaceGuard

Usage caps for shared self-hosted AI assistants

Visit github.comAlternativestop 25% of August 2026

What it does

WorkspaceGuard adds precise usage controls to self-hosted AI assistants without replacing existing infrastructure. Its MIT-licensed npm/pip sidecar brings per-workspace message metering and fail-closed monthly quota caps to Odysseus and compatible backends. It solves a specific gap: adding usage visibility and hard limits to platforms handling user isolation. Designed for integration, it includes a CLI and library with agent-native --json output, acting as a lean gateway for existing setups.

Per-workspace usage metering and fail-closed quota caps for self-hosted AI deployments. CLI + library, npm & PyPI. - RudrenduPaul/workspaceguard

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

    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…
