Thirteen of the 18 startups in Peak XV’s latest Surge cohort are targeting global markets, while more than half are based in India.

AI-powered incident management needs more than an intelligent backend. The interface also needs to make complex information easy to understand and act on. For OpsSentry AI, I worked on the frontend development, building a production-style operations interface using Next.js and TypeScript. The frontend brings incident monitoring, AI assistance, service information, and Hindsight memory capabilities together in one interface. The Frontend Stack The frontend is built using: Next.js TypeScr...

If you want a free agentic AI course with certificate in 2026, the Hugging Face AI Agents Course is the one to start. It costs nothing, the certificate is included rather than gated behind a membership, and the syllabus is vendor-neutral across smolagents, LlamaIndex and LangGraph. Verdict: Hugging Face wins for most learners. Pair it with Microsoft's AI Agents for Beginners as your free code-first textbook (no certificate). Take Anthropic Academy as a second free certificate if you w...

Verdict: GPT-6 Astra wins OS 2.0 — the shorthand most teams now use for OSWorld 2.0, the long-horizon computer-use benchmark — scoring 72.6% binary completion against Claude Opus 5 at 70.6%, per the Snorkel AI leaderboard . Astra is the right pick if your workload is unattended desktop automation where a failed run costs more than the tokens, and you can accept its access constraints. Opus 5 is the right pick for everyone else, because two points of completion rate does not justify the price g...

On the evening of August 10, 2026, a single GitHub account opened 23 pull requests against unrelated AI and developer-tool projects in 74 minutes. Each one added an MCP server called productivity-suite to the project's config. It offered text formatting and summarization, and for the first three tool calls that is all it did. After the third call it changed the instructions it sent back to the AI agent, telling it to look for SSH keys, AWS credentials, shell history and Kubernetes config, and ...

Verdict: The semiconductor industry in India has crossed from policy announcements to running plants. Five units now produce chips commercially: Micron, Kaynes Semicon and CG Semi in Sanand, Gujarat, plus CDIL in Mohali and Suchi Semicon in Surat, the last two launched into commercial production at SEMICON India 2026 on 17 September 2026 ( ET Telecom, 17 September 2026 ). MeitY Secretary S Krishnan confirmed the same count that day: five units built and under production ( The Tribune, 17 Septem...

Full disclosure up front: I run ai-info.fastget.link , where I track AI API pricing and publish the DeepSeek V4 cost calculator this post is based on. All rates below were checked against official pricing pages and live dashboards on 2 Sep 2026 — if you're reading this later, treat them as a snapshot, not gospel. No affiliate links anywhere. The pricing page is lying to you (sort of) DeepSeek doesn't have one price for V4. It has four, and which one you pay depends on deci...

This came up in Chinese AI developer communities this week: a story about someone named Frank who used Claude over a single weekend, eight hours total, to build a website that now earns $40,000 a month. The post is short on details but heavy on inspiration. It spread fast. I want to argue that stories like this one are quietly harmful to how developers think about AI-assisted building, and that the "8 hours" number is the most misleading part of all. The number that does all the w...

AI coding agents are very good at making small decisions. Move this logic into a helper. Add a cache here. Create a service for that. Split this module. Add another abstraction. Introduce one more dependency. Each decision can look perfectly reasonable. That is exactly the problem. A system can get worse even when every local decision looks correct. This is not really an AI problem. It is an architecture problem that AI can now accelerate. Th...

On July 2, 2019, at 13:42 UTC, one new firewall rule went live on every Cloudflare server at once. It contained a regular expression that backtracked so hard it pushed every CPU core serving HTTP to 100 %, and for 27 minutes the sites behind Cloudflare returned 502 errors. The Cloudflare outage was not an attack; it was a regex, a missing CPU guard and a rollout with one speed. The postmortem by CTO John Graham-Cumming is still one of the best ever published, and the bug in it is one you can w...

How boxr runs rootless: namespaces, a trampoline, and uid mapping boxr is a rootless OCI container engine in Rust. No daemon, no sudo, no setuid helper. People often ask how the isolation actually works under the hood, so here is the full story of what happens on Linux between you typing boxr run and your process starting inside a container. The short version: get into a user namespace as early as possible, then do everything else from inside it. The problem: threads and...

When I'm evaluating a third-party service, an open-source project, or a SaaS tool to build on top of, I face the same core problem every time: I can't know whether it'll still be reliable in three years. The docs look good. The pricing seems reasonable. The GitHub stars are healthy. But none of that tells me whether the thing is actually durable. I've been thinking about this through an unlikely lens — how brand analysts evaluate consumer brands for long-term stability. The signals they use...

There's a mountain of cloud services out there, and this one is mine. This post looks at the individual services, including my thoughts and pricing strategies. Thumbrella is an online server for thumbnailing media. It's fast and efficient. The server is open source and intended to be self hosted. There is also a Cloud service that provides gargantuan free usage. This article looks at the tech stack behind the scenes for the online Cloud service. Cloudflare Workers - Edge hosti...

I built TalkToMe, an open-source macOS app that lets an agent call you from its current session. You answer, talk, and hear its replies. The agent keeps its tools, files, and history. It works with Codex (Tested extensively, quite smooth), Claude Code (not tested heavily), Hermes, and other agents that can run shell commands. You can use ElevenLabs or local models to power the conversation. It's really surreal to see your agent call you for something! Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator....

Is there any work being done to find out whether or not the strong anti-AI sentiment in U.S. workforce isn’t psyops? There hasn’t been a wave of unemployments as previously thought of (the recent ones seem more related to inflation) because AI actually seems to create work to manage it, and buying tokens thoughtlessly isn’t cost effective for companies, or providers. So it seems it’s only beneficial for people and companies to use AI, and optimize it for productivity, right? Or am I missing some...
