Should have said this was a fear to promote a b2b sass "TrustClaw"

Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?

Could be CLI, GUI, web, mobile, other. Asking out of interest, esp with the wave of vibe-slop. Thanks in advance to all.

Ask HN: I'm sure more than just Microsoft is down rn

koconder — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 20:36:16 +0000

Am i going crazy, all day i have seen ngnix errors from cloud services, github action failures and huggingface unable to download data.

Downdetector saying outages everywhere from Microsoft to Cloudflare but only Microsoft has said they have an outage?

X was down this morning for a few hours too. Anyone else have intel, X is coming up blank.

- Substack subscriptions to individuals

- Maven courses

Ask HN: Is there an open source "turbopuffer"?

koconder — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 20:59:15 +0000

With the need for fast, cheap, durable storage I love the pattern of turbopuffer but would love something open/k8s/local for internal apps and systems.

New comment by koconder in "Open-Source SDK for Automated Prompt and Agent Optimization"

koconder — Thu, 22 May 2025 13:48:45 +0000

Comet just open-sourced the Opik Agent Optimizer SDK, a new tool designed to automate and systematize prompt/agent optimization for LLM applications. If you’re tired of manual prompt tweaking, this SDK lets you run optimizer algorithms (Bayesian, evolutionary, meta-prompt, etc.) against your own datasets, regardless of framework or model provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, etc.).

New comment by koconder in "Show HN: CNCF announces Dapr Agents, a vendor-neutral AI framework"

koconder — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 21:37:55 +0000

Very interesting as CNCF also behind https://opentelemetry.io/ could make for an interesting approach.

Interested to see how the "messaging" protocols will work at this scale with use of pub/sub for agent communication (https://dapr.github.io/dapr-agents/home/principles/#5-messag...).

New comment by koconder in "New tools for building agents"

koconder — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 16:35:18 +0000

100% but this is not the same thing, nor is this going to replace the agent SDK (or visa versa). Agents will always need some form of communication protocol, if we look at the world and agentic frameworks its a sea of logos and without some forms of open standards this would be hard.

I'm currently at Comet and I have personally worked on MCP implementations AND have made some contributions to Agent SDK in the form of a native integration and improvement to test suite.

- https://github.com/comet-ml/opik-mcp

- https://github.com/openai/openai-agents-python/pull/91

Our recent integration shipped on day 1:

- https://www.comet.com/docs/opik/tracing/integrations/openai_...

I think the key to what OpenAI is pushing towards is simplicity for developers through very easy to use components. I won't comment on the strategy or pricing etc, but on first glance as a developer the simple modular approach and lack of bloat in their SDK is refreshing.

Kudos to the team and people working on the edge to innovate and think differently in an already crowded and shifting landscape.

Show HN: Airgapped Offline RAG – Run LLMs Locally with Llama, Mistral, & Gemini

koconder — Fri, 11 Oct 2024 00:15:48 +0000

I've built an airgapped Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system for question-answering on documents, running entirely offline with local inference. Using Llama 3, Mistral, and Gemini, this setup allows secure, private NLP on your own machine. Perfect for researchers, data scientists, and developers who need to process sensitive data without cloud dependencies. Built with Llama C++, LangChain, and Streamlit, it supports quantized models and provides a sleek UI for document processing. Check it out, contribute, or suggest new features!

More and more competition and no startups or scale ups but the likes Figma and other big orgs coming up on PH. Thoughts? Am I over-reacting?

Hi all,

I'm currently researching unique, cutting edge and honestly kick ass user experiences that just work with AI. This can be a feature/service from open-source to mainstream.

Keen to see the best
