Launch HN: Hebbian Robotics (YC S26) – Build scalable robotics data pipelines

Hi HN, we’re Brandon and Kingston, the founders of Hebbian Robotics. We built HFlow ( https://github.com/Hebbian-Robotics/hflow ), an SDK that turns multimodal recordings from robots and human operators into standardized, quality-checked episodes and queryable dataset manifests. A recording can contain synchronized video, joint states, actions, timestamps, and metadata, and HFlow processes those streams together. Here’s a demo of HFlow in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xni0GwV-xAw Rob...

Launch HN: Almanac (YC S26) – AI that knows your company

Hi HN, I'm Kushagra, one of three founders of Almanac, a Hermes with a brain that knows everything about your company. We started our journey with setting up Hermes for our company, thinking it must be easy. We wanted an agent that would know every context about our company, so we could ask questions and get context-appropriate responses to. This started a very annoying and difficult journey. Setting up Hermes, getting it to talk right, building OAuth apps for every connector myself, then feedin...

I Tried 5 Free LLM APIs With One Python Script

I wanted to find a free LLM API for small tools and experiments. There are many lists online, but free plans change often. Some model names and limits were already old when I checked them. So I opened new accounts and tried five providers myself: Groq Google AI Studio OpenRouter Cloudflare Workers AI Token Harbor I did not add a credit card to any account. I used the same Python script and the same two tasks as much as possible. One disclosure: I work with Token Harbor...

VPS Price Per GB of RAM: 711 Plans Across 39 Hosts

A gigabyte of RAM on a virtual server costs \$0.47 per month. It also costs \$58.00 per month. Same unit, same billing period, both prices live on 31 August 2026. We priced every plan in our database that publishes a RAM figure: 711 active VPS and cloud plans from 39 providers, EUR prices converted to USD, everything normalised to dollars per gigabyte per month. The median came out at exactly \$6.00. Half the market sits above that line, half below, and the distance between the two ends is 12...

Why I Stopped Using JSON Tool-Calling for My Coding Agent

A few months ago I needed an agentic coding assistant inside a internal CI repair tool I was building. The obvious move was to embed something that already exists — Claude Code, or Google's Antigravity SDK. Both work well. Neither one gets you what you actually need once you're shipping a product on top of it. Claude Code isn't embeddable as infrastructure. You can shell out to it, but you don't own the runtime, the protocol, or the failure modes. Antigravity gets you closer, it's an SDK you ...

Building a social app around verdicts instead of likes

I’m currently building Callout, a social debate app based on a simple question: what happens when opinions receive meaningful verdicts instead of generic likes? Every opinion can be judged as Based or a Hot Take . The aim is to make reactions more expressive while keeping the interaction quick. The interesting development challenge is balancing simplicity with enough personality to make people want to participate. I’m sharing the project as I build it and would appreciate feedback fr...
