GoatCode – open-source terminal AI agent with provider failover

GoatCode is a single 85 MB binary that runs in your terminal. It brings 180+ LLM providers (or your existing Claude/ChatGPT/Gemini/Copilot subscriptions via OAuth), and when your quota dies mid-session it automatically retries then walks your fallback chain live — switches provider mid-turn, says so, and finishes the answer. No crash, no lost context. What’s new in v2.1.10: - Prompt caching on Anthropic (up to 90% cheaper long sessions; savings shown in /cost) - Inline unified diffs after every ...

At this point I feel like AI companies selling Fear

AI can do reasoning better But It can't outsmart humans , AI gets trained on data but human have their learning with them ,only about 5% of data a human share as learning, knowledge - rest it just inside us ,So technically AI can't replace human , We do take inspiration , cross domain analysis and much diff things ,that a machine can't even do So I feel like These AI companies are just selling fear just to promote their product , what are your thoughts on this Comments URL: https://news.yco...

I built an epistemic gate to stop LLM data poisoning during fine-tuning. Tested across 5 architectures, orchestrated on a 2006 Toshiba laptop for $0.

Hi everyone, For a long time, the AI industry has pushed the narrative that advanced safety research, data poisoning auditing, and model alignment require massive clusters and millions of dollars. I wanted to test if that's true. Over the last few months, using a 2006 Toshiba Satellite (2GB RAM) for orchestration and free Kaggle T4 GPUs ($0 cost), I built and ran a 16-experiment series (EXP08–EXP16) exploring epistemic collapse and data poisoning in LLMs. Today, I'm open-sourcing the first ph...

What MiniMax H3 Max is, how to call it, and why we built h3max.info

MiniMax H3 landed at the end of July 2026, the open weights followed in August, and fal.ai shipped a speed-tuned build called H3 Max a few weeks later. Since then every thread about it mixes the three names up. We kept re-explaining the difference, so we put the explanation on a site: h3max.info . This post is that explanation, plus the code to generate your first clip. Three names, three different things This is the part that trips everyone up. MiniMax H3 H3 Max ...

I Made Four Authorization Engines Answer the Same Questions

"Which authorization engine should I use" always gets answered with a table. Cedar is analyzable, Rego is expressive, Zanzibar is relationship-based. I could never feel the difference from any of it. So I gave four of them the same rules and ran every possible request through all four at once. Live demo: https://0-draft.github.io/authz-playground/ Repo: 0-draft/authz-playground One square is one request, one row per engine, filled means allowed. Pink is where th...

Consolidation in the Vendor Market Is Now a Technical Risk

Three of the products we depend on changed hands in the last eighteen months. In each case the acquirer was larger, already sold us something else, and made reassuring noises about continuity. In each case the practical effect on us was the same within a year: a price rise well above inflation at renewal, a slower and less specific support relationship, and a product roadmap that stopped mentioning the features we cared about. I have started treating this as an engineering concern rather than...

Nothing could start without the dependency we had filed as optional

Our configuration service was tier three. No SLO, no pager, a single replica for a long time, and a line in the architecture document describing it as a soft dependency because clients cache their values and can carry on if it is unavailable. That sentence was true about the steady state and completely false about the one moment that mattered. It went down at 09:40 during a routine node pool rotation, which meant pods were also being rescheduled across the fleet. A pod that restarts has an em...

Attestly: Generate EU AI Act Annex IV docs from your agents’ operational traces

Most of the evidence needed for EU AI Act Annex IV documentation already exists inside the operational traces your AI agents produce — tool calls, human interventions, errors, model invocations, and deployment changes. Attestly reads those traces (OpenTelemetry, LangSmith, AgentOps, MCP logs, etc.) and maps them into structured technical documentation and evidence trails. Every section is clearly marked as AI-generated, user-provided, or missing, and requires human review and approval before ex...

One rounding, not many: why a provably-fair verifier must match the server bit for bit

Originally published on the Betkyo Journal , where every figure is read from the game engine's source. Every provably fair round on this site turns a 256-bit hash into a number between 0 and 1 and then into an outcome. The server does that in Kotlin; the browser verifier does it in JavaScript. Both languages hold numbers as 64-bit doubles with 53 bits of precision , and a hash has more bits than that, so somewhere a rounding must happen. If the server rounds once and the verifier round...

Stop Slamming Downstream Services: Singleflight Request Coalescing with Java Virtual Threads

Stop Slamming Downstream Services: Singleflight Request Coalescing with Java Virtual Threads Virtual threads solved your JVM I/O bottlenecks, but downstream internal services are now on fire because 50,000 concurrent threads are fetching the exact same cache miss simultaneously. You do not need distributed locks or larger database instances; you need the Singleflight request coalescing pattern inside your JVM. Why Most Developers Get This Wrong Reaching for distributed lo...

Modernizing Vue App by using IBM Bob

Background I have many applications that use Vue CLI and, of course, are mostly still on Vue 2. Vue CLI page also recommends moving the tooling. I know there are a lot of guides on how to migrate Vue CLI to Vite. So, let's ask IBM Bob to help us. Why migrate? Vue CLI uses an old Node version, which may pose a risk for us if the old version has any security issues. The CI may not support the old Node version later, etc.... Plan the Migration I'l...
