Show HN: I nerfed our coding agents on purpose

Tl;dr: I trained a classifier to route to the least expensive model and reasoning depth to complete the request. Coupling that with additional automated token efficiency techniques has yielded 3x usage for the same spend. For anyone interested in trying it themselves: https://nerfguard.comVarious teammates and I switched over to Codex from Claude Code recently. We still bounce between the...

Mostly OpenAI powering this right now.

Using Realtime for enabling the interrupts and stock browser items for most other things. Everything over websockets with some light fast processing before piping to OpenAI. Nothing too fancy.

Built a quick fun experiment for interacting with LLMs like you're on a talkshow.

It's sort of like NotebookLM in the sense that it makes it very easy to generate a podcast, but in this setup you're the podcast guest.

To use it, just let talkshow know what you want to talk about and it'll ask you a bunch of questions just like you're on a talkshow. It's all via voice and oddly fun to do.

Try creating your own interview - would love any thoughts as you're playing with it.

Companies that do good are becoming more and more popular as companies like TOMS shoes and Ethos water prove the value of cause based marketing. Also, incorporating giving into an existing business is becoming easier. My company, CherryCard, connects charitable giving with everyday purchases by enabling companies to give a percentage of their sales to the charities of their customers' choice. We believe that whenever money changes hands a little bit should go to charity. You'll get 25 cents to give to the charity of your choice for free when you sign up at CherryCard.org so that you can try it out and get a feel for the service. I feel very strongly about the importance and potential of incorporating giving into business, which is why we have built CherryCard to give companies an effective turnkey cause marketing solution and built incentives for companies to give more. If you ever want to chat about the place for giving in business shoot me an email at [email protected]. Oh and you should definitely all sign up and give your free 25 cents to The World Food Program. They need the money right now and 25 cents can give a starving child a meal.
