Lobster Roll

I’m ready to retire. In my younger days, I remember a few pivotal moments for me as a young nerd. Active Server Pages. COM components. VB6. I know these are laughable today but back then it was the greatest thing in the world to be able to call server-side commands. It kept me up nights trying to ab...

I found that duplicating a specific block of 7 middle layers in Qwen2-72B, without modifying any weights, improved performance across all Open LLM Leaderboard benchmarks and took #1. As of 2026, the top 4 models on that leaderboard are still descendants.<p>The weird finding: single-layer duplication...

Hi HN, we&#x27;re Sanchit and Shubham (YC W26). We built a fast inference engine for Apple Silicon. LLMs, speech-to-text, text-to-speech – MetalRT beats llama.cpp, Apple&#x27;s MLX, Ollama, and sherpa-onnx on every modality we tested. Custom Metal shaders, no framework overhead.<p>Also, we&#x27;ve o...

We built an ant colony simulation as an internal hiring challenge at Moment and decided to open it up publicly.<p>You write a program in a custom assembly-like (we call it ant-ssembly) instruction set that controls 200 ants. Each ant can sense nearby cells (food, pheromones, home, other ants) but ha...

Hi HN, I forked chromium and built agent-browser-protocol (ABP) after noticing that most browser-agent failures aren’t really about the model misunderstanding the page. Instead, the problem is that the model is reasoning from a stale state.<p>ABP is designed to keep the acting agent synchronized wit...

Hi, Ted here, creator of Mog.<p>- Mog is a statically typed, compiled, embedded language (think statically typed Lua) designed to be written by LLMs -- the full spec fits in 3,200 tokens. - An AI agent writes a Mog program, compiles it, and dynamically loads it as a plugin, script, or hook. - The ho...
