Yes exactly.

Inspired by OpenRouter's model fusion feature. There is a panel of models running in parallel and a judge to fuse the results.

I'm using it for my own deep research using tool calls. It's currently slower and more expensive for head-to-head prompts compared to OpenRouter's version, but with more work, it can be very similar.

Already, the responses I get are enhanced. Would love to hear what you think.

Re:Ask HN: Why is there no US open weights models? on Tuesday June 16, 2026 @05:12AM (#48552588)
Sure, Gemma 4 is good, but the Chinese are leading the way. Why? What is it about their incentives that led to this strategic decision? Even Mistral in Europe is more dedicated to open weights than any US lab.

Canada for sure... and you're right Elon wins.

I'm surprised there is not more Canadians and Brits on the list.

AI coding tools have broad filesystem and network access

Posted by shadag on Monday March 23, 2026 @11:16PM
from the self-post dept.

A few months ago I realized I had no idea what Claude Code was doing on my machine between keystrokes. I knew it had filesystem access. I knew it made network calls. But I had no visibility: which files it was reading, what subprocesses it was spawning, whether it had ever touched my .env or ~/.ssh. That bothered me enough that I built something to find out.The result is Agent Shield — a...

Re:Ask HN: Is every company's internal wiki just broken by default? on Wednesday July 09, 2025 @05:54AM (#44508039)
that's insane though. On a team scale this can somehow be managed by company has like 5,000 engineers on the main Teams channel. Surely there is a better way

You're so right it's not about the tool it's about the culture and focus on excellence which translates to writing excellent internal docs for engineers to get things done. I'm not quite sure how recording everything would work. The real things we need are docs that are updated when there are issues with CI/CD after people read logs etc... recording things might work for more business or commercial teams but for us we just need people to keep everything up to date and well written.

Yeah PCI DSS makes it virtually impossible. My company would take five years to adopt that

I totally agree with you. The solution mentioned above is useful but in my current company there is no way that can actually work long term for an individual engineer or my team.
Re:Ask HN: Is every company's internal wiki just broken by default? on Wednesday July 09, 2025 @05:46AM (#44507995)
That's an awesome solution - I'm going try that! Do people have other ways of doing that?
Re:Are Small Teams the Future? on Sunday April 06, 2025 @04:16AM (#43599795)
We are entering an era in which companies can be scaled by very small teams of A* players. It marks a clear shift from companies operating as 'brigades' to becoming elite units. What do you think? And how will this affect the future of venture capital?
