Project mention: Show HN: Find the best local LLM for your hardware, ranked by benchmarks | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-05-15
I got really good results when I asked Pi (agent) to install
https://github.com/AlexsJones/llmfit
and tell me which ones are good for me. It would organize it per use and selection was solid.

meetily
Privacy first, AI meeting assistant with 4x faster Parakeet/Whisper live transcription, speaker diarization, and Ollama summarization built on Rust. 100% local processing. no cloud required. Meetily (Meetly Ai - https://meetily.ai) is the #1 Self-hosted, Open-source Ai meeting note taker for macOS & Windows. Understand How to write meeting minutes
Project mention: Yap – free offline voice dictation for Mac/Windows/Linux (Wispr Flow alt) | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-06-27I actually found this one today and will be adding it to Opensource Builders soon:

screenpipe
YC (S26) | Record your screen 24/7 and plug into your agents. Local, private, secure. Connect to OpenClaw, Hermes agent and 100+ apps
Project mention: Dev log #6 Networking Deep Dives and Scaling Docs: My 30k Line Week in OSS | dev.to | 2026-07-07On the AI front, I’ve been working on screenpipe. I’m really excited about the Model Context Protocol (MCP) work I’m doing there. In PR #3072, I’m building out a structured output format specifically for AI consumption. The goal is to make the data coming out of screenpipe easily "digestible" for LLMs without a ton of brittle parsing logic. It’s still open, but the foundation is solid.

OpenFang is an operating system for autonomous agents. Not a framework. Not a wrapper. An actual OS, written from scratch in Rust by RightNow AI. 137,728 lines of code across 14 crates. Compiles to a single 32MB binary with zero external dependencies. This is not something someone cobbled together over a weekend.
-
memvid
Memory layer for AI Agents. Replace complex RAG pipelines with a serverless, single-file memory layer. Give your agents instant retrieval and long-term memory.
Project mention: Show HN: I accidentally built "SQLite for AI memory" (Memvid) | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-01-05 -
Project mention: DeepSeek TUI on Windows: A Practical Look at a Terminal-Native Coding Agent | dev.to | 2026-05-11

GenieX
Run frontier LLMs and VLMs locally on Qualcomm devices across NPU, GPU, and CPU with a few lines of code
Project mention: Qualcomm acquires Nexa AI, open-sources GenAI runtime for Hexagon NPUs | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-07-07 -
Unfortunately, rig the underlying library to connect to AI providers usually halts the execution thread instead of triggering a recoverable error.

Project mention: Run Agent Skills with mistral.rs v0.8.10: /v1/skills support and more | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-06-18
mistralrs serve --agent --isq 4 -m google/gemma-4-E4B-it
Super excited for you to try this out and any feedback! Do you have any suggestions for what you would like to see in the next releases?
Check out the GitHub: https://github.com/EricLBuehler/mistral.rs

code2prompt
A CLI tool to convert your codebase into a single LLM prompt with source tree, prompt templating, and token counting.
Project mention: Code2prompt: Convert any folder into a single LLM prompt | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-05-28 -
forgecode
AI enabled pair programmer for Claude, GPT, O Series, Grok, Deepseek, Gemini and 300+ models
Project mention: Zerostack – A Unix-inspired coding agent written in pure Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-05-16 -
-
deepreasoning
A high-performance LLM inference API and Chat UI that integrates DeepSeek R1's CoT reasoning traces with Anthropic Claude models.
-
Project mention: Cut token waste across your entire team with the MCP Optimizer | dev.to | 2026-03-11
The operator defaults to BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5 as the model and runs the HuggingFace Text Embeddings Inference server. You can increase the replica count via spec.replicas to match your team's throughput needs. One shared instance serves every vMCP in the namespace. For all available configuration options, see the Optimizer docs.

agentos
A faster, lighter, cheaper alternative to sandboxes. Run any coding agent inside an isolated Linux VM, with agent orchestration built in. (by rivet-dev)
Their companion project AgentOS runs coding agents inside isolated Linux VMs with an in-process operating system kernel. Everything runs inside the kernel; nothing executes on the host. The pitch: faster, lighter, cheaper than mainstream sandbox providers.
-
lsp-ai
LSP-AI is an open-source language server that serves as a backend for AI-powered functionality, designed to assist and empower software engineers, not replace them.
-
agent-os
A portable open-source operating system for agents. ~6 ms coldstarts, 32x cheaper than sandboxes. Powered by WebAssembly and V8 isolates. (by rivet-dev)
Project mention: AgentOS: A portable open-source operating system for agents | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-05-05 -
moltis
A secure persistent personal agent server in Rust. One binary, sandboxed execution, multi-provider LLMs, voice, memory, Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Teams, and MCP tools. Secure by design, runs on your hardware.
Project mention: OpenClaw Is a Security Nightmare Dressed Up as a Daydream | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-03-22I'm on my 3rd "claw" variant (currently https://github.com/moltis-org/moltis). I had the same issues you had. Moltis is better (at the moment).
