Show HN: Deft Writing, an AI lab for non-slop LLMs

Announcing Deft, a new AI lab for better writing Currently, 86% of user queries are fully human according to pangram. This is still a small beta model and it might make mistakes. We are launching our public beta now to get more feedback before scaling up. Tips for better performance: - Add more details to your prompt. If you just provide a short sentence prompt, it will likely get detected as AI. - Try changing the style in "advanced options" - Deft currently works better for some use cases lik...

Show HN: Openleetcode – local LeetCode runner where tests live in the repo

You write a standard solution, just like on LeetCode, and run it through the CLI. It identifies the problem by ID or title, executes your code against local test cases, and shows the result. It currently supports around 1.4k problems and multiple languages, including Python, C++, Rust, Java, Go, TypeScript, Swift, and others. The project is still an MVP. System design, SQL, and concurrency problems are not supported yet, but support for more problem types is planned. Made in Haskell! Comment...

Launch HN: machine0 (YC S26) – Persistent CPU and GPU VMs from the CLI

Hi HN! I’m Barnaby, founder of machine0 ( https://machine0.io ). I’m building a CLI for long horizon agent compute: `machine0 new mybox` gives your agent a persistent cloud VM, billed by the minute, from $0.013/hr up to 60 vCPU / 240 GB RAM and GPUs (H100s, H200s etc), with 99.99% VM level uptime. Agents self drive via CLI or MCP. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyllkZ0M04E Agent workloads are moving from ephemeral to always-on. A coding agent working on a complex feature runs 6-8 hours....

Show HN: macOS data protection keychain for Electron apps

Hey HN, I've been working on Hansel [1] (an encrypted personal data store you can query with agents), and there wasn't a good way to use the modern macOS Data Protection Keychain. Electron's safeStorage [2] uses the legacy file-based keychain, which allows other apps/agents to query it with the `security` CLI. Not great when you have a dozen agents running in the background! The Data Protection Keychain is nice because it limits access via code-signing access groups and lets you set access rules...

Show HN: PantheonGPU – GPU health testing and AI workload benchmarking

Hi HN, I built PantheonGPU because I wanted a better way to answer a simple question: is this GPU actually healthy and performing the way it should? A GPU can show normal temperatures and utilization and still be underperforming, unstable under certain workloads, or have memory, PCIe, or configuration issues. PantheonGPU actively tests the GPU instead of only monitoring telemetry. It currently includes 45+ tests covering compute, tensor workloads, memory, cache, PCIe, thermals, stability, and AI...
