Paste a GitHub URL or drop a local folder → interactive architecture map in the browser: dependency graph, blast radius, health grade, security scan. Single index.html, zero install.
Pure-C, zero-dep MoE runtime that runs GLM-5.2 (744B) on a 25GB-RAM consumer box by streaming experts from disk — VRAM/RAM/NVMe as one tiered hierarchy, never touching precision.

Turns any PDF into a fillable form: FFDNet models detect text, checkbox and signature fields; one CLI command writes the interactive PDF. Paper, dataset and weights all open.
AI-native Envoy-based proxy for agentic apps: agent orchestration via a 4B routing model, smart LLM routing, guardrail filter chains and zero-code OTEL traces. Rust, framework-agnostic.

Local-first agentic runtime with persistent AI rooms and approval-gated memory: every memory write needs your OK; rooms, KB and artifacts are plain files on disk.

Open-source GenBI engine: agents write governed SQL and deploy shareable dashboards over 22+ data sources, grounded in a Git-friendly context layer (MDL semantics, definitions, memory).

Distributed LLM inference in Rust: pool GPUs across machines into one OpenAI-compatible endpoint — local fit first, mesh routing, and stage splits for models too large for any single box.
Open-source AI gateway: call 100+ LLM providers in OpenAI format via a Python SDK or self-hosted proxy — with cost tracking, virtual keys, guardrails, load balancing and logging.

ICLR 2026 memory framework for LLMs/agents: LLMLingua pre-compression, topic segmentation and offline memory updates — leading LoCoMo/LongMemEval results at lower token cost.
Anthropic's harness primitives for long-running Claude agents: default-FAIL evidence gates, a fresh-context evaluator subagent and handoff hooks — each one standalone, readable file.

Local-first code intelligence graph for AI coding tools: Tree-sitter AST graph + blast-radius analysis served over MCP, so agents read ~82x fewer tokens per review question.

36k-star hub of runnable AI engineering tutorials — LLMs, RAG and agent apps as self-contained projects, including build-code-harness: a Claude-Code-style coding harness rebuilt on CrewAI + E2B.
Company intelligence agent that navigates Slack, Drive, wiki and CRM live — no ingest/embed pipeline — and builds its own wiki + CRM as it learns your company.

Daniel Miessler's LifeOS: an AI 'life operating system' that carries your goals and context into every task — an intent engineering platform with dashboard, agents and installer.

Structured long-term memory over MCP: an enforced bucket-thread-memo hierarchy in one SQLite file, hybrid FTS5 + vector search fused with RRF, local embeddings.
All-in-one open-source backend for agentic coding: Postgres, auth, storage, edge functions, model gateway and site hosting — your coding agent operates it over MCP.

Local-first desktop workbench for orchestrating coding agents: per-repo workspaces, task dispatch, live status and runnable actions — GUI plus CLI, Apache-2.0.
Turns your coding-CLI subscriptions (Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Kimi, Grok) into a local OpenAI/Gemini/Claude-compatible API — multi-account rotation in one Go proxy.

Encrypted secrets store for Claude Code: macOS-Keychain-backed vault with MCP server, CLI, commit-safe secret:// .env placeholders and a native input dialog.

browser-use's thinnest LLM-to-Chrome bridge: all 652 CDP methods as typed JS calls over one WebSocket — no click() helpers, no rails; the protocol is the API.
Persistent, secure sandboxes for AI agents on Firecracker microVMs — TypeScript and Python SDKs, CLI and console; the runtime is a hosted service, the SDK stack is Apache-2.0.
Open-source RAG-as-a-service (the Carbon.ai alternative): upload any data source, get vector search and a chat API in minutes — Supabase-based, multi-tenant with RLS, streaming responses.

Visual workspace to build, deploy and orchestrate AI agents — 1,000+ integrations, knowledge bases, built-in tables and files, schedules and run monitoring. Self-host via npx simstudio or Docker.

Desktop AI coworker (YC S24) that indexes email, meetings and Slack into a living backlinked knowledge graph, then acts on it — email client, browser, meeting notes, background agents, code mode.

A self-hosted personal AI agent in a single ~9MB Go binary — persistent memory, 16 tools + MCP, skills, cron/heartbeat, and Telegram/Discord/Slack/WhatsApp channels. Runs on a $5 VPS.
8 AI agents + 14 skills that run your Obsidian vault through chat — capture, triage, search, linking, vault health, transcription, email and calendar. One codebase, four agent platforms, any language.
Rust-core incremental indexing engine: declare Target = F(Source) in Python and it keeps vector/graph/relational targets fresh forever, reprocessing only the delta — with per-row lineage.

HumanSignal's autonomous data-labeling agent framework: define a skill, give it ground truth, and the agent iterates — learn, apply, reflect — until it hits your accuracy threshold.
Email infrastructure for AI agents — send, receive, search and auto-extract verification codes via CLI/SDK, backed by a Cloudflare Worker; free hosted @mails.dev mailboxes or self-host.
A multi-agent software factory: describe a task, agents plan (PROMPT.md), build, review and merge in isolated worktrees — kanban + graph board, missions, agent chat rooms, any model. Early preview.

npx cc-lens: local analytics dashboard over ~/.claude — sessions with replay, cost and cache breakdowns, insights and budgets, team-adoption mode, a yearly Wrapped card. No cloud, no telemetry.

Layer-by-layer inference that runs 70B models on a 4GB GPU — no quantization required; 405B on 8GB, DeepSeek-V3 671B on ~12GB. One AutoModel line for most open model families.
120 marketing skills + 8 commands for Claude Code across 7 disciplines — SEO/GEO, influencer, paid ads, email, launch, social, brand — on one contract with 8 benchmark-driven auditor gates.

Plugin for Claude Code and 16 other hosts that turns any codebase into an interactive knowledge graph — multi-agent analysis, layered dashboard, guided tours, diff-impact view, domain mapping.

Giskard v3: modular Python evals and red-teaming for agentic systems — scenario-based checks with LLM-as-judge, plus an automatic vulnerability scanner across OWASP LLM Top-10 categories.
Paid-media operations skill for Claude Code across 12 ad platforms — source-grounded audits with deterministic scoring, versioned JSON reports, and account changes gated behind approval and rollback.
