miletus

hey all,

i’m trying to explore more open-source models and wanted to hear from the community.

which model has become your go-to, and for what use case?

From our tests, Kimi K2 Thinking is better than literally everything - gpt-5, claude 4.5 sonnet. the only model that is better than Kimi K2 thinking is GPT-5 codex.

It's now available on https://okara.ai if anyone wants to try it.

we at agentsea.com have been playing with it for a while.

here's what we think about it:

- still sucks at generating pretty ui - great for creative writing and long-form planning - it’s really fast but not smarter than gpt-5 - pairs well with external tools/agents for research and automation - comes with a 1m token context window, so you can feed it monstrous codebases or giant docs - still hallucinates or stumbles on complex requests

wow, i just discovered this page. didn't know there was a page that lists all the best comments on Hacker News

This is exactly why a lot of people are running local LLMs or moving toward privacy-first platforms

we recently shipped secure mode on https://www.agentsea.com.

With Secure Mode, all chats run either on open-source models or models hosted on our own servers - so you can chat with AI without worrrying about privacy.

here's a summary for those interested: https://x.com/tryagentsea/status/1962818101017485338

updated. thanks a lot man

saw this on x. loved it. made by @thekitze on x

i'd appreciate any links

saw this thread on X. here are some incredible use cases of 4o image generation: https://x.com/0xmetaschool/status/1904804251148443873

it allows anyone to build their own GPTs without writing a single line of code. unlike openai's custom GPTs, we support multiple models like deepseek, llama, openai, claude etc

Our goal is to help people launch their own AI business. OpenAI's Custom GPTs never took off because they didn’t allow monetization, so people never shared their GPTs.

We're planning to launch a marketplace where people can list their GPTs, and others can try them out

we're targeting

1) Consultants/ Experts

These are individuals with specialized knowledge (fitness, health, investing, marketing, tax, etc.) who want to monetize their expertise through an AI tool.

Experts like Bryan Johnson, Nikita Bier, and professionals who sell advice on Intro.co, topmate.io

Service providers such as real estate agents, lawyers, tax agent, travel agent, fitness trainers, etc.

- Real estate agents can create an AI assistant for property recommendations.

- Personal trainers can build a custom AI workout assistants.

2) Course Creators

Many course creators and educators want to turn their course into recurring AI business

Example Use Case: A PM expert like Lenny can create an assistant that answers questions related to product management. he used to teach on maven

3) Indie hackers and No-code builders

they want to test ideas without high upfront investment.

4) businesses looking for custom solutions

they can create website support bot, company knowledge base bot etc

i'm looking for ideas that people can build. we're working on a platform that lets anyone build their own GPT wrappers and AI Agents in 60 seconds

here's the link: buildthatidea.com

Haha, glad you liked the article. Anything in particular that felt trippy? Always open to feedback!

Thanks for sharing!

Right now, it's just a waitlist, but I'd love feedback on the idea. Would you use something like this? What features would be useful?

I'm working on Build That Idea - https://buildthatidea.com - A platform that allows anyone to create custom GPTs in 60 seconds and monetize them

Here's how it works:

- Define your GPT

- Choose a base LLM (OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek, etc.)

- Upload knowledge base

- Set pricing and start making money

I’d love to hear what the HN community thinks!

this AI agent has been trained on 100s of successful YC applications, along with insights from YC’s official website and other web sources.

It's a great tool to refine your startup idea - even if you’re not applying to YC. Try it out and share it with your founder friends!

Metaschool | Engineering Lead | Remote | Full-time

We're a well-funded startup (funded by sequoia, dcg etc) building a platform that lets anyone launch their own agents. The opportunity is huge and to build a platform that makes it easy for anyone to launch autonomous agents with a simple user friendly interface is a big undertaking.

This is why we’re looking for an engineering lead who can help us build the platform very quickly from 0 to 1 and in parallel make decision to scale the platform effectively too.

We compiled some of the most interesting AI predictions from Hacker News into a visual!

Here's the link: https://x.com/0xmetaschool/status/1871132412887158966

Noticed the same thing. DeepSeek-V3 is remarkable (beats 4o/ claude), but it's not on the front page.

It seems they don't want china to win haha

There are a ton of different ways to promote your app or software. You can run ads, post on social media, send newsletters or try old-school methods like handing out printed flyers.

But one of the most effective (and cheapest) ways to promote your app is through online directories and online communities. However, finding the right communities and directories can be time-consuming.

To save you time, We’ve curated a list of over 350+ launch platforms, slack/ discord communities, subreddits, and other channels where you can share your story, drive traffic, find early adopters, and get that sweet, sweet user feedback.

Bonus points if you share an example

Any helpful links would be appreciated.

Anonymous app like Reddit, fishbowl, blind app
