Hi HN! I built JevBench because Jev kicks ass, and the world deserves to know how the serious open source and fake lookalike projects really perform in comparison. Jev-class models return bounded choices and probabilities instead of text, and are disruptively faster and cheaper than LLMs, while being similarly intelligent on the text input they operate on. JevBench allows looking at accuracy, latency and price all at once, in a weighted way - you can even configure the weighting. A full run as...

In a speech Tuesday morning at the UN General Assembly, Donald Trump railed against Iran, "globalists," climate change, and transgender people while also claiming that the US is now "officially" renaming artificial intelligence to "super intelligence." Oddly, this wasn't one of the entries in the poll Trump posted a few days ago when he started […]

Rivian always planned for its all-important R2 vehicle to be less expensive than its pricey R1 predecessors, but also less polluting. The production process for the R2 would rely on more renewable energy, and the vehicle itself would feature more recycled and biodegradable materials than the models that came before it. With this and a […]

Anthropic says its new Claude Opus 5.5 model comes with stronger safeguards in the wake of recent rogue AI hacking incidents.

Apple's new texture and grain controls for stylizing photos will be more limited on older phones than initially expected.

Qualcomm said that its new top chip can run 30B mixture-of-expert model locally

I've been building this for two weeks and want honest technical feedback before I invest more time. What it does Bhive is a multi-agent framework in TypeScript. Agents ("Bees") can delegate tasks to each other, call tools, and it works with any LLM provider — Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, or local Ollama — through the same code. Architecture decisions I'm unsure about Provider abstraction via an LLMAdapter interface, with a ToolCallingParser that normalizes too...

I recently completed a system design and performance optimization cycle for CrimeLens , my full-stack crime reporting, mapping, and analytics platform. CrimeLens connects citizens, public users, police officers, and administrators through different workflows. Citizens can submit crime reports, police and administrators can review and manage them, and approved crime data becomes available through maps, statistics, trends, and geospatial searches. The system is built as a PERN modular mono...

PR #466 — fix(citations): enforce document order for [[PAGE_BREAK]] segments Repo: open-legal-products/mike — 4.3k ⭐, open-source legal AI platform for document review, drafting, and legal research. Built with Next.js, Express, Supabase, and Cloudflare R2. The bug I fixed: Citations were verified segment by segment with no position check. So B[[PAGE_BREAK]]A earned verified: true even when A preceded B in the document — wrong order, wrong result. I enforced document ord...

Your hero section is height: 100vh . Big background image, headline centered, a CTA button pinned near the bottom. You check it in the browser, check it in the iOS simulator, ship it. Then the support tickets come in: "the sign-up button is cut off." You open it on your own phone to confirm — and it looks fine. Scroll down an inch, though, and there's a sliver of button peeking out from under where the fold should be. Guess what's different between your simulator and a real phone in so...

Your team wrote middleware.ts carefully — Edge-safe imports only, jose instead of jsonwebtoken , no direct database calls — because that's what Edge middleware demanded. Then you upgraded to Next.js 16, skimmed the release notes, and moved on. Nothing broke. Which is exactly the problem: middleware.ts still runs, but it's now the deprecated way to do the one job every non-trivial app needs — checking a request before a single line of your app runs. The framework renamed the file, moved ...

Design wants a country picker. Nothing fancy — a dropdown, a small flag icon next to each name. You reach for <select> , type the first <option> , and hit the wall every frontend dev hits eventually: an <option> can only ever show text. No <img> , no icon span, nothing. The browser renders whatever markup you put inside it as a plain string. So you do what everyone does. You build a fake one. The dropdown you build instead A <div role="listbox"...
