top shelf has docs like intel's 1968 investor memo, apple's original marketing philosophy, bill gates' internet tidal wave memo, yahoo's peanut butter manifesto, facebook's little red book, valve's handbook, and mrbeast's onboarding doc.

bottom shelf has hard-to-find books from the founders/leaders of ibm, hp, gm, fastenal and others.

everything links to a free legal source. original pdf/scan when i could find one, otherwise internet archive.

if you know any rare docs or books that belong here, send them my way.

i’m trying to explore more open-source models and wanted to hear from the community.

which model has become your go-to, and for what use case?

here's what we think about it:

- still sucks at generating pretty ui - great for creative writing and long-form planning - it’s really fast but not smarter than gpt-5 - pairs well with external tools/agents for research and automation - comes with a 1m token context window, so you can feed it monstrous codebases or giant docs - still hallucinates or stumbles on complex requests

We just launched a fun tool inside AgentSea

It lets you generate and compare images across top image models side by side using the same prompt

We'd love for you to try it out and share your feedback!

When you use closed-source AI models, your data can:

– be stored

– pulled into training pipelines

– shared with third parties

That might be fine if you’re making memes or drafting LinkedIn posts. But it becomes a serious risk when you’re pasting contracts, health info, financial data, or business secrets.

That’s why we built AgentSea. In Secure Mode, all chats run on open-source models or models hosted on our own servers. Your data never leaves, is never used for training, and is never leaked.

Agentsea also gives you access to 100s of community-built agents, along with tools like Reddit, X, and YouTube search.

Try it here: agentsea.com

Would love feedback from the HN community.

These are very different from founder biographies or outsider case studies — they’re written from within, capturing the firm’s self-image, values, and evolution.

What other great examples exist?
