Language Model Teams as Distrbuted Systems
Abstract:Large language models (LLMs) are growing increasingly capable, prompting recent interest in LLM teams. Yet, despite increased deployment of LLM teams at scale, we lack a principled framework for addressing key questions such as when a team is helpful, how many agents to use, how structure impacts performance — and whether a team is better […]
The “small web” is bigger than you might think
There are currently several initiatives that attempt to reclaim some part of the Internet for non-commercial, personal use; some of these I described in this earlier article. Here I’m using the term “small web” to mean the use of ordinary web browsers and servers, but for private sites, free of advertising and corporate tracking. I’ve […]
US commercial insurers pay 254% of Medicare for the same hospital procedures
The US spends ~$14,570 per person on healthcare. Japan spends ~$5,790 and has the highest life expectancy in the OECD. That gap is roughly $3 trillion per year. This project finds it, one issue at a time. Each issue identifies one fixable problem, quantifies the waste from primary federal data, and recommends a specific policy […]
Launch HN: Chamber (YC W26) – An AI Teammate for GPU Infrastructure
Meet Chambie, your AIOps teammate Setting up GPU infrastructure across clouds, creating training jobs, and fixing or optimizing them shouldn’t be hard. That’s why we built Chambie, your all-in-one AIOps teammate to accelerate ML team velocity. No more infra setup, no more missed failures. Chambie handles everything automatically.
The math that explains why bell curves are everywhere
No matter where you look, a bell curve is close by. Place a measuring cup in your backyard every time it rains and note the height of the water when it stops: Your data will conform to a bell curve. Record 100 people’s guesses at the number of jelly beans in a jar, and they’ll […]
Launch HN: Voygr (YC W26) – A better maps API for agents and AI apps
Hi HN, we’re Yarik and Vlad from VOYGR (https://voygr.tech/), working on better real-world place intelligence for app developers and agents. Here’s a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNIpcWIE0n4. Google Maps can tell you a restaurant is ”4.2 stars, open till 10.” Their API can’t tell you the chef left last month, wait times doubled, and locals moved on. Maps […]
Show HN: Claude Code skills that build complete Godot games
Watch the demos · Prompts You describe what you want. An AI pipeline designs the architecture, generates the art, writes every line of code, captures screenshots from the running engine, and fixes what doesn’t look right. The output is a real Godot 4 project with organized scenes, readable scripts, and proper game architecture. Handles 2D […]
Apideck CLI – An AI-agent interface with much lower context consumption than MCP
The problem nobody talks about at demo scale Here’s a scenario that’ll feel familiar if you’ve wired up MCP servers for anything beyond a demo. You connect GitHub, Slack, and Sentry. Three services, maybe 40 tools total. Before your agent has read a single user message, 55,000 tokens of tool definitions are sitting in the […]
Give Django your time and money, not your tokens
Spending your tokens to support Django by having an LLM work on tickets is not helpful. You and the community are better off donating that money to the Django Software Foundation instead. We’re in a new era where people don’t have to type out all of their code. I used an LLM to build a […]
US Job Market Visualizer – Andrej Karpathy
This is a research tool that visualizes 342 occupations from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook, covering 143M jobs across the US economy. Each rectangle’s area is proportional to total employment. Color shows the selected metric — toggle between BLS projected growth outlook, median pay, education requirements, and AI exposure.
