Re:Everyone is comparing GitHub stars. But what about issues? on Saturday January 31, 2026 @04:40PM (#46841146)
I've noticed how the opencode team has around 100 issues opening every day and I wondered how it is compared to other big repos in history. So I've created https://github-history.com to look at it.

Hope you'll like it!

Show HN: The Doorstep – Voice RPG

https://qforge.studio/the-doorstep

Hey, we've created an interactive game generated fully with AI sounds. You can play it @ https://qforge.studio/the-doorstepThere's also a builder if you want to build games like that yourself @ https://qforge.studio. For now it's completely free and no login required so you can just jump in and build. Would love some feedback!

AI shouldn’t block the conversation just because a tool is busy. To evaluate that behavior properly, we needed good data—so we made it.

AsyncTool is a Hugging Face dataset of 270 high‑quality, multi‑turn (and I mean up to 60 turns) conversations where the assistant keeps talking while tools work in the background. Each case is different, grounded in real JSON‑Schema tool definitions, and the tool calls/results are consistent and make sense with no fabricated states or magical shortcuts.

What’s inside - 18 scenario templates × 15 renders = 270 conversations. - Conversations run 10–30 “in‑world” minutes with filler chat, retries, status checks, and out‑of‑order returns. - Every row includes messages, tools, and meta so you can replay transcripts, inspect schemas, and trace provenance. - Protocol features: <tool_ack /> placeholders, -FINAL handoffs, mixed sync/async chains, transient failures, and fatal‑error surfacing. - License: Apache‑2.0.

We’re exploring how agents can ack now, answer later - waiting for the right signal (last relevant tool result vs. last user question) while staying natural and helpful. This dataset gives you supervised signals to: - finetune assistants that acknowledge async work without hallucinating tool states, - build guardrails/regression tests for routers juggling retries and reordered responses, - evaluate “answered at the right time” behavior.

We’re also publishing the generator so you can reproduce or extend everything locally. If you’re building tool‑using agents - or just tired of UIs that freeze—this should help you train, test, and iterate faster.

Re:React for Datasets on Thursday November 06, 2025 @12:24PM (#45837670)
We’ve spent a while trying to generate a very specific, complex, multi‑turn conversation dataset. Most tools pushed us toward glue scripts and one‑off pipelines that were hard to review or reuse. Torque is our attempt to make this boring and predictable: a small, MIT‑licensed framework that treats dataset generation like building a UI. You define small, declarative “components” and compose them into pipelines. The goal is clear code and repeatable runs, not another heavy DSL. It’s early and open source. We’d love feedback on the API design, examples you’d like to see, and rough edges we should fix first. Docs and code: https://github.com/qforge-dev/torque

We were frustrated with dataset generation DX: ad‑hoc scripts and JSON templates break as flows branch, tool‑calls drift, and reproducibility is hard.So we built Torque: a schema‑first, declarative, fully typesafe DSL to generate conversational datasets.What it is: Declarative DSL - Compose conversations like React components Fully Typesafe - Zod schemas with complete type inference Provider...

It can also set reminders and do stuff when you're not looking and talks to you by itself rather than always being triggered by the user message.
Re:Show HN: Coyote – Wildly Real-Time AI on Thursday October 23, 2025 @06:36PM (#45688259)
Fully understand the WhatsApp part. Do you use any other communicators? Discord, Signal or something else? We are looking for more "interfaces".

When it comes to async that's exactly what we are trying to "solve". Right now models are built in a way that they expect tool results right after tool calls.

We are building datasets and a model with asynchronous interface as it's core. https://huggingface.co/qforge/Qwen3-14B-AT you can read more about it here.

For tooling attached to it right now we are using Pipedream integrations and are planning to move to an open source public solution configurable by users so u can set whatever you want.

So imagine you have a single chat interface that steers a fleet of other agents in the background for code. But not by handing off the memory but navigating the tasks in an async way.

Re:Show HN: Coyote – Wildly Real-Time AI on Thursday October 23, 2025 @06:30PM (#45688198)
Right now it can: - handle real tasks in the background — emails, calendar stuff, research, finding info, organizing data - chat naturally without feeling like you're talking to a bot - remember context and keep conversations flowing - work with integrations (gmail, calendar, docs, maps, etc.) so it can actually do stuff, not just talk about it - multi-task — you can ask it multiple things and it can handle them in parallel also if u mispronounce anything it can update the existing stuff that is happening.
Re:Show HN: Coyote – Wildly Real-Time AI on Thursday October 23, 2025 @02:00PM (#45684842)
It's like you're talking to a real person. No stop buttons, no waiting. Interrupt, add details, or change direction anytime. Just like a natural conversation.

Context here means any additional information.

Hey all, we just shipped coyote. it's an ai assistant but built different — everything runs async and feels way more natural. You text it, it handles work in the background and you can keep talking to it. No more stop button. Instead of creating another app we put it in WhatsApp (iMessage coming soon) so you can just text it for free and get the feeling. The core idea: most ai assistants make...

I was wondering how bitchy the prompt was. Turns out other pretty weird stuff was there.
Re:MCP powered cross platform Siri on Friday May 30, 2025 @04:27PM (#44139589)
It supports Local and Cloud models for Transcription and we're super close in releasing LLM integration with multiple providers including local ones.
Re:MCP powered cross platform Siri on Friday May 30, 2025 @04:12PM (#44139513)
We've released a new version of qSpeak v0.1.47.

Our vision on the future of computer use through voice assistance. Available everywhere in your system to do whatever you'd like including advanced agent based tool usage.

We're having a completely free beta now so hope you'll like it and test it out!

Yea, it's not been easy. We're working on supporting more and more distros.
Hey, together with my colleagues, we've created qSpeak.app

qSpeak is an alternative to tools like SuperWhisper or WisprFlow but works on all platforms including Linux.

Also we're working on integrating LLMs more deeply into it to include more sophisticated interactions like multi step conversations (essentially assistants) and in the near future MCP integration.

The app is currently completely free so please try it out!

Very cool post! I wonder how much will it affect the psychology of next generations.

Based on current builds data you can see that even in early access the build distribution looks better than in PoE 1.
Hey everyone. We've just released version 0.3 of BuildEL, an Elixir based fully open source AI orchestrator used also for RAG retrieval. Hope you'll like it :). You can read more about it here: https://buildel.ai/blog/buildel-0_3 This release brings embeddings based relation graphs which is a huge eye opener when it comes to RAG development using vector databases. It was a big challenge to do it but thanks to language abstractions it turned out to be a very small amount of code :) It uses advanced math algorithms to narrow multidimensional embedding vectors to 2d. If you have any question you can ask, and I'll do my best to respond :)
Re:Solving the out-of-context chunk problem for RAG on Wednesday July 24, 2024 @10:30AM (#41057493)
I guess it's because people are not using tools enough yet. In my tests giving LLM access to tools for retrieval works much better then trying to guess what the RAG would need to answer. ie. LLM decides if it has all of the necessary information to answer the question. If not, let it search for it. If it still fails than let it search more :D
