Very tongue in cheek. I feel we've become saturated with content management years ago.

Show HN: Clusterflock: An AI orchestrator for networked hardware

notum — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 11:43:53 +0000

Hi HN!

We built Clusterflock to solve our own headaches with managing AI agents across distributed setups, different VRAM and RAM allowances, and the need to easily try out new models.

While we focus on infrastructure (we built this specifically for networked hardware) it does ship with a powerful mission runner (or orchestrator), which is multi-session and asynchronous.

Here is what it does best:

Hardware-aware auto-downloading: It profiles your networked hardware and automatically pulls down the best models for your specific setup (currently only from HuggingFace).

Tight packing: Native parallelism via llama.cpp, you can allow it to fit multiple smaller models on same device.

It is fully open-source. We wanted a painless way to deploy agentic clusters, and we hope you find it useful too.

Happy to hear feedback. Flocks very much given.

The website itself is a demo, as it says in the article. Here's the documentation for more details: https://aether-cms.pages.dev/

I feel the issue is deeper than that. We no longer buy products, we rent them, it's hard for consumer protection laws to catch up with that (even European).

Censoring of token/s values in the sample output surely means this runs great!

Frequencies you don't hear - can't hurt you, or rather they cannot damage your hearing. Sure, submerging your head into an ultrasonic cleaning bath will irritate your skin, but the energy won't vibrate away your hearing abilities, if it had the potential to do that you'd hear it as a loud unpleasant sound.

Thank you. I was about to just write "confirmation bias" as a comment.

Just using "cropped" as a negative prompt eliminates this issue entirely on my end and produces same results as per their owl example in SDXL.

ROS doesn't need a clone, it needs a successor.

Took the bait as well.

CTRL+F "entanglement". Disappointed.

No interstellar comms for us.

Not quite sure why I expected something like eDEX-UI.

Isn't this using Nintendo hardware as well? I thought that was the point of these minification projects.

Ah, the importance of not relying on front-end validation.

Not to take away from the simplicity of use, of course, totally giving it a go. I think this is an awesome foot in the door for people who never considered developing extensions.

Firefox would be a MASSIVE win!

Apologies for the confusion but what is "cross-browser" about this tool if it only works with chromium?

Love seeing news like these! AWESOME, and probably structurally more sound than traditional buildings (citation needed).

I'll skip the layer-height comments but the thought did make me giggle.
