That’s a pretty large binary for simply loading images.

In all honesty, opencv has stood the test of time and I’m certain newer LLMs will likely not attempt to rewrite it from scratch.

P.S. I’ve been a user since the IplImage days, circa 2007, and I’d still consider using it over most CV libraries today.

I can’t help but think that there are so many astroturfed comments in here.

Seems like a concerted and distributed effort from the entire Anthropic team every time to get this on top of HN.

Kind of crazy how many bespoke python sandbox implementations have popped up in the past few months.

I’d love to see if we can get GPU access within these runtimes, that’d be awesome.

What’s your experience with Monty? Been looking at it for one of our environments and it seems very promising.

VLM Run (https://vlm.run) | 1x Product + 1x ML Staff Engineer | Santa Clara, CA (HQ)

We're building the inference and orchestration layer for production Vision-Language Models. We care deeply about fast and ergonomic visual inference, reliable structured outputs, and the observability to iterate on them.

A few things we've shipped recently you can poke at:

  1. Orion: our visual agent that reasons and acts over images, video, and documents. Chat at https://chat.vlm.run.
  2. mm-ctx: a Unix-style multimodal CLI (find, cat, grep, wc) that gives coding agents real context over images, video, and PDFs. Rust core, Python devex. 
  3. vlmbench:  single-file CLI for benchmarking VLM inference (TTFT, TPOT, throughput) across vLLM, Ollama, and SGLang.

Apply: https://app.dover.com/jobs/vlm-run

Email hiring "at" vlm.run with your GitHub + a couple recent projects.

The recent claude code leak also revealed that they're poisoning their competitors via anti-distillation policies baked in claude code CLI (fake tool calls, adding noise etc).

Real-time or continuous learning is great on paper, but to get this to work without extremely expensive regression testing and catastrophic forgetting is a real challenge.

Credit to the team for taking this on, but I’d be skeptical of announcements like this without at least 3–6 months of proven production deployments. Definitely curious how this plays out.

What do you think actually happened here in the past week?

They used Kimi, failed to acknowledge it in the original Composer announcement. Kimi team probably reached out and asked WTF? Their only recourse was to publicly disclose their whitepaper with Kimi mentioned to win brownie points about being open about their training pipeline, while placating the Kimi team.

AI allows you to accelerate the initial build process, but I think engineering is all about craftsmanship. Today most LLMs have poor taste and chipping away the cruft matters more than ever.

uvx probably is the way to go here (fully self-contained environment for each skill), and use stdout as the I/O bridge between skills.

The cold-boot time on this model can hardly be called “serverless”

fzysingularity — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 17:56:37 +0000

ELO scores for OCR don't really make much sense - it's trying to reduce accuracy to a single voting score without any real quality-control on the reviewer/judge.

I think a more accurate reflection of the current state of comparisons would be a real-world benchmark with messy/complex docs across industries, languages.

Apple OCR even on the Mac is insanely good, in fact way better than AWS textract/GCP cloud vision OCR.

Any idea what model is being used?

> It's like going to the grocery store and buying tabloids, pretending they're scientific journals.

This is pure gold. I've always found this approach of evals on a moving-target via consensus broken.

New comment by fzysingularity in "Claude Code CLI was broken"

fzysingularity — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 21:25:52 +0000

I'd love to see Claude Code remove more lines than it added TBH.

There's a ton of cruft in code that humans are less inclined to remove because it just works, but imagine having LLM doing the clean up work instead of the generation work.
