Help Product Open Source and Local AI

The US government is trying to deprive us of our local and open source AI. They are planning to pass a law that requires a permit to run local AI.

This is obviously stupid and we need to fight against it. There's an ongoing petition to protect local AI called Right to Intelligence (righttointelligence.org) with 1,000+ signatures.

I am not part of the organization, just trying to protect a valuable resource.

Sign it and spread the word!

P.S: I am aware that the website is down for some people, I have contacted the organizer and he is actively working on a fix.

What do you want from a coding agent that you still don't have?

I'm currently building my own open-source and local coding agent. Right now the features I'm adding are just based off my personal preferences.

Wondering what the rest of the dev community wants out of its coding agents?

Coming soon @ gitlab.com/arjunkshah/raccoon

Benchmarked 7 Token Compression Approaches - Here are the results.

I ran a comparison of compression methods on about 10K prompts across different task types. Thought the results might be useful.

Methods: truncation, sliding window, LLM summarization, top-K retrieval, MMR, a ModernBERT classifier, and my own small learned policy.

Key findings:

- Truncation is worse than people think. At 50% reduction, oracle recall (does the answer miss info from dropped content?) drops to 62%. You save tokens but answers degrade noticeably.

- LLM summarization gives the best quality but the extra latency and LLM call cost eat into the savings. Only makes sense for very long prompts or batch processing.

- Query-awareness matters more than model size. Knowing what the user is asking lets you make surgical keep/drop decisions.

Full numbers: supercompress.dev/benchmarks.

OpenAI Keyboard Prototype

A few weeks ago, OpenAI announced they were launching something that would make Codex shortcuts a whole lot better (https://x.com/OpenAIDevs/status/2071639953927438440). On June 29, at the AI Engineer World Fair, someone spotted a prototype in person (https://x.com/ai\_for\_success/status/2071846127956308441/photo/1).

My agent went rogue and started spamming. I got suspended and created a support ticket but no one has reviewed it. How do I get in touch with a human?

I've had a Github account for the past 3 years and have been a pretty good user. One sunny day, however, my agent decided to go rogue and made like 500 PRs.

My account got hard flagged by spam bot and reported. I opened a support ticket but no one has responded and I am slowly losing hope.

This account has my life's work on it and I really need to get it back - is there any other way?

My account username is arjunkshah and the ticket ID is 4522157.

The New Mobile App Vibe Is Coded Slop?

Surprising that such a massive org with practically unlimited OpenAI credits and some of the world's best engineers couldn't even make a good frontend for their mobile app.

This looks like one-shot vibe coded slop.

According to Peter it was "built by the community" (https://x.com/steipete/status/2071972239734616146) and OpenAI just sponsors the project, but I think it's still pretty crazy considering the scale and importance of the project.

Am I building something useful?

My name is Arjun, I'm 14, and I've been building this project called Loopy for about two weeks now. The goal is to give teams of AI agents the ability to work fully autonomously, 24/7.

I started with just one coding agent and a Nebius-powered AI manager that tested, updated Linear, pushed to Github, and sent the user emails via Gmail.

I am currently trying to expand into a full team that finds errors, adds them to a Jira-style management system, and executes upon that, working forever rather than stopping at a certain time.

The project is fully open-source and runs entirely locally on your laptop, so no data ever comes to me. It plugs into your existing coding agents so you don't pay a penny beyond your coding subscription.

Would love to get your input on whether this is even a good idea, and if you could test the product and give me ideas that would make my day.

The link is in the top comment.

I built a dependency-free neuroevolution system that optimizes and simulates a complete 12-leg Strandbeest

I wanted to see how far I could push Theo Jansen's linkage on a MacBook Air without pulling in a heavyweight ML stack, so I built a self-contained Python optimizer.

The system searches the 13 linkage dimensions. Each candidate is solved over a complete crank rotation using exact circle-circle intersections; geometries that cannot close are immediately rejected. A small 13→24→1 neural network learns from exact simulation results and ranks new evolutionary proposals. Random exploration remains in the loop, and only an exact simulation can become the champion.

I also moved beyond optimizing an isolated leg. The simulator constructs a complete 12-leg body with mirrored sides, three crank phases, and a 180° side offset. The fitness function measures stance shape, stride, lift, speed uniformity, support count, bilateral support, longitudinal stability margin, body heave, material use, and deviation from the canonical dimensions.

The included checkpoint evaluated 12,783 candidates. At a 360-step audit, the current design scores 15.24 versus 10.82 for the canonical geometry under the same objective. Simulated bilateral support rises from 15.0% to 98.3%, stability is 96.1%, and normalized body heave falls from 0.0346 to 0.0118. It uses about 39 MB of resident memory, with a hard 5 GB cap.

I want to be precise about the claim: this is a better result under the documented kinematic/quasi-static objective, not yet a proven better physical Strandbeest. It does not model buckling, joint friction, backlash, torque, wind, sand, self-collision, or lateral dynamics. The next step is CAD reconstruction, load/interference analysis, then an instrumented desktop prototype.

The repo includes the source, tests, trained checkpoint, exact dimensions, full simulation data, an animated HTML walker, architecture docs, and known limitations.

How long does it take to get a response for Codex for OSS?

I submitted my Codex for OSS application 16 days ago, and I've gotten no response yet.

Everywhere I go on X or Reddit, I see people sharing they've been accepted. Meanwhile, I haven't gotten a response yet.

Wonder if they are facing heavy loads? Has anybody else encountered a similar issue or been accepted?

If so, how long did it take the team to get back to you?

Thanks!

Gave Codex $100,000 Fake Dollars to Trade: Immediately in the Red.

Connected Alpaca to Codex and used Paper trading to give it $100,000. Told Codex it had 24 hours to double the money and that it could manage and make trades in whatever manner it pleased, so long as they were in the 1000s.

It's been about ten minutes, and the account is now down $1k. It doesn't look too good for Codex, but I'll check back at the end of the day and see if it had any luck.

Open-source Skill to Unsloppify AI-Generated Frontends

Hi Everyone,

My name is Arjun and I'm 14. I like building websites, but due to the nature of AI-generated code, the frontends were never very nice. I tried prompting and giving site inspo, but that took a long time, wasted tokens, and didn't even work half the time.

To fix that, I built design-skill: https://github.com/arjunkshah/design-skill.git, an open-source skill that helps AI generate beautiful frontends.

Please try it out and make a PR or drop a comment with some feedback; I really want to improve it! If it seems pretty cool, then do drop a star!

Regards,
Arjun
