Why Your Website Should Never Stop Changing
Every website peaks on launch day and slowly drifts from there, not because it breaks, but because nobody has time to keep it current. Autonomous websites, continuously optimized by agents after launch, aim to change that. Pierre Burgy shares what they learned building for full website autonomy and the deeper design problem they uncovered along the way.

Show HN: A daily cartoon contest between AI models, judged blind
Comic-cron.com is a daily contest where AI models draw a single panel cartoon about a recent news story and people vote on which are funny. I built it mainly because I love cartoons and news, but this project isn’t trying to pretend it’s human art, I wanted to see how capable the models were at this task of making funny comics. Sometimes they get it, and sometimes they don’t and it has been interesting to see the progress in just the few months I have been publishing the cartoons. Model version ...

Show HN: A hash-chained ledger for AI reasoning you can verify yourself
SDI protocol defines a reasoning computer for AI. The computer runs an LLM one turn at a time, guiding it through a reasoning grammar; the grammar, which is both natural language and algebraic, allows it to be checked at a compile gate. The gate validates safety, a workfloor, and alignment with the grammar before it commits. What commits is a hash-chain ledger of the agent's reasoning, forming a longitudinal data set that becomes the agent's functional memory/system state. Chromite, the protocol...

Show HN: Keenable – A different web search API for AI agents
Hey HN! We built https://keenable.ai , a different web search API for AI agents. Keenable searches our own 100B+ page index. We are focused on low cost and latency (p95 https://keenableai.github.io/needle ): a live benchmark that compares Keenable with other search APIs on fresh agent-like queries. I spent seven years at Amazon as a scientist working on web grounding for Alexa/AGI, and my co-founder Andrey previously led search at Yandex. We started Keenable because agents search differently f...
