Show HN: DeepSQL – A self-hostable AI DBA agent for Postgres and MySQL

Hi HN - I'm Venkat, founder of Stayflexi (YC), CMU CS grad and Ex-Oracle Query Engine team (patents in core databases) DeepSQL started as an internal tool to stop our own databases from becoming the bottleneck they were becoming (13,000+ hotels in production). It worked well enough that we're releasing it. DeepSQL is an AI agent that operates a database the way a senior DBA and Data Engineer would 1. Fixes slow queries (we cutdown DB spend by 4x) 2. Fixes DB bloat (blocks unnecessary schema chan...

LeCun's take on World Models

So....I read LeCun's interview with Nebius Science. I feel he had some cool points about LLMs being able to answer things, but not literally understand the physics of the physical world. (Like, being able to explain a task and actually performing it are two completely different things.) But I wanted to get opinions on what others thought of his solution to the problem. Like, if JEPA is genuinely the architectural solution to this, or if we’re just looking for some magic solution that we don't ha...

What actually makes human creativity different from AI?

I've been thinking a lot about artificial intelligence and creativity lately. As someone living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2, technology has been one of the greatest enablers in my life. It has given me opportunities to collaborate in ways that simply wouldn't have existed a generation ago. Because of that, I don't see AI or technology as something to fear. But it has made me wonder about something. As a songwriter, I try to tell stories with music that encourage, challenge and insp...

Fable 5 is now metered for Pro and Team Standard, but Claude Code's separate August 19 extension may be more useful to watch

Fable 5's free-inclusion deadline moved from June 22 to July 7, then July 12, then July 19. The final arrangement started July 20 (today): Max and Team Premium keep Fable 5 permanently, capped at 50% of the normal weekly limit. Pro and Team Standard receive a one-time $100 credit, followed by $10/M input tokens and $50/M output tokens. Claude Code's 50% weekly-limit increase had previously been renewed on the same schedule as those Fable 5 extensions. It's now been extended independently thr...

Show HN: I built a deterministic arena where AI agents fight using code

I have been interested in BattleBots and programming games for years. With recent AI coding agents, I wanted to see what happens if the strategy itself becomes code written by humans or AI. AgentDuel is a deterministic turn-based arena where agents fight based on submitted TypeScript strategies. Each battle produces a replay so you can inspect every decision.
