Show HN: Lightweight C++23 S3 client with no extra deps (just curl and OpenSSL)

ggcr — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 16:40:57 +0000

Attached is my attempt at making a small toy S3 client without any other dependency besides libcurl and OpenSSL. Was tested mainly on MinIO (RIP) locally, so I would expect some bugs when using it against AWS, although I was able to play with it on some open access buckets

Be aware that I am not a C++ programmer and this project was indeed done to learn a bit of C++ myself :')

Feedback on any of the code, either on gtest, or the benchmarking section or the core itself is welcome!

I was hoping Microsoft would make it open weights, as they have done for years with the Phi models.

The era of big tech releasing models into the wild might be over, which IMO is counter-productive, as we are shifting from "the model is the product" to "the harness is the product"

Meta recently launched Muse Spark [1] and they themselves compare against Claude Opus 4.6 Max.

Here Microsoft is comparing against Claude Haiku, the smallest and least capable model from Anthropic.

Thanks, I've totally missed that

It's basically the same as with the Qwen2.5 and 3 series but this time with 1M context and 200k native, yay :)

From the HuggingFace model card [1] they state:

> "In particular, Qwen3.5-Plus is the hosted version corresponding to Qwen3.5-397B-A17B with more production features, e.g., 1M context length by default, official built-in tools, and adaptive tool use."

Anyone knows more about this? The OSS version seems to have has 262144 context len, I guess for the 1M they'll ask u to use yarn?
