Yansu, Serious Coding
We been helping mid-market companies for the past 1.5 years and finally ready to share the internal platform publicly. Yansu (严肃) is a AI coding platform that use spec + TDD to build complex software projects. It is more like a SOP than coding agent. We focus on understanding requirements and checking outcomes against those requirements while iterating the code based on the tests. Yansu tries to learn as much tribal knowledge as possible. These are things you don’t write down in google doc or Notion. Yansu absorbs these knowledge by continuously talking to users and distilling learning from…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
We been helping mid-market companies for the past 1.5 years and finally ready to share the internal platform publicly. Yansu (严肃) is a AI coding platform that use spec + TDD to build complex software projects. It is more like a SOP than coding agent. We focus on understanding requirements and checking outcomes against those requirements while iterating the code based on the tests. Yansu tries to learn as much tribal knowledge as possible. These are things you don’t write down in google doc or Notion. Yansu absorbs these knowledge by continuously talking to users and distilling learning from them. It's as if a spec + TDD platform had a baby with character.ai. Why care about requirements? B/c 80% of any software development is understanding requirements and what exactly we want to build. We also focus on outcomes, the only thing that matters. We deliver satisfying outcomes by simulating scenarios and generating tests based on those scenarios. Our agents take that tedious testing part of the code away from others. We prioritize accuracy over latency/cost, using a mixture of agents (not limited to CC, codex, and etc) to get the job done. We then run through continuous-testing-generating pipelines until all things pass. What does Yansu mean? “Serious” in Chinese. Just like my favorite artist, Rene Magritte, painting in his kitchen in a suit. I want to give my coding respect and care. Our goal is to level people up from IC to tech leads, to work on the high leverage work of planning, validating, and educating. We made a launch video to celebrate human work that builds on all of the creative minds before us. Shoutout to CinemaSings for making this happen. Enjoy the video (linked in the tweet) and check out Yansu.

Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…
- PAProduct as Code – YAML-based product management for AI coding workflows2025 · productascode.org · ▲9
I have worked with AI assistants for a while, and while I am really excited about it, there were times when I felt really frustrated. LLM would end up in a loop with no end. This is when I started experimenting with creating work plans. Initially simple todo list, but it felt like "product vibing", so a bit more sophisticated later on. I started seeing value in it. The one day it hit me. Why not use the same GitOps principles to managing product tickets? I started playing with that and really liked the way it worked. After a chat with a friend of mine, I realised that a standard or a spec…

- YAYOYO – AI Version Control for Vibe Coding2025 · runyoyo.com · ▲6
Hey HN — Been deep in vibe coding with AI tools like Cursor and Windsurf — but sometimes, AI edits don’t go as planned. You hit revert… and only some files roll back, or your repo ends up in a weird state. Especially messy when you’ve got multiple chats open and you're mid-flow. So I built YOYO — a lightweight version control layer for the fast, chaotic phase of coding where you're exploring, iterating, and letting AI throw stuff at your repo. It works across Cursor, Windsurf, and VSCode — wherever you’re coding with AI right now. Not trying to replace Git. Git’s great when you’re ready to…

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…
