rush86999··on Show HN: Panel – A research workspace where the agent can build its own panes
I took it a step further with AI accessibility and recordings for teaching AI agents. Canvas context forms the who, what, when, where, and why, along with the agent conversation for training & agent maturity --- https://github.com/rush86999/atom/tree/main/docs/canvas
rush86999··on OpenAI Agents API
Doesn't apply to every scenario where agents are useful. Think about businesses - most business processes are not optimized this way. They are mostly a conglomeration of hierarchy, relationships, customs, IP, etc. Model development will never cross such paths. Thus, harnesses are needed. A foundational system that covers 80% of business processes has value, and I'm targeting that problem --- https://github.com/rush86999/atom
rush86999··on Record-High 89% in U.S. Say Government Corruption Widespread
It's like everyone knows the dirty truth, but no one wants to do anything about it.

Why? Self-interest has made everyone blind to open corruption.

The worst part is reality hits 3-4 years later, and the big guy is already out and about. Already with his billions, partying in the Caymans.

Welcome to democratic oligarchy!!

rush86999··on Harness Engineering
Yeah, it is. Bad wording on my part, but the list is a summary of what's going on so far in agent harnesses.
rush86999··on Harness Engineering
Here's a better summary: https://github.com/rush86999/atom/blob/main/docs/architectur...

I also have a self-evolving architecture on it, but you have to be careful, especially if you're using multiple models (still WIP).

rush86999··on GLM-5.3-Flash
Luckily, I have the coding plan for z.ai, so I'm happy with this model as I always kept running out of usage with the original glm-5.3

rush86999··on What Is a Harness?
I think you've really hit the mark on how the harness should be structured:

1. Guardrails - deterministic, social intelligence, team alignment & accountability 2. Learn by doing 3. make it stupid easy for the agent to research and access data 4. DRY

Research supports this. Try picking up some ideas from my harness: https://github.com/rush86999/atom

rush86999··on GLM-5.3: Frontier coding with emergent cyber capabilities
Mine is a WIP for automation but has similar concepts to what you're looking for: https://github.com/rush86999/atom
rush86999··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)
AI agent workforce: https://github.com/rush86999/atom

Now with OpenCode Go integration. I'm rapidly fixing as many bugs as I can, and with the same subscription. Thank you, DeepSeek!

rush86999··on Discovery Loop
That's what he was trying to imply
rush86999··on My personal AI benchmark: "Generate an SVG of a frog with a Habsburg jaw."
It's opus 5 > Kimi K3 > grok 4.5

That's a pretty good benchmark

rush86999··on Everyone is building LLM routers, we deprecated ours
I'm still working on mine: https://github.com/rush86999/atom/blob/main/docs/architectur...
rush86999··on Launch HN: Tokenless (YC S26) – Automatic model switching to save money
How is this different from OpenRouter?

I also developed something similar for my agent harness. It's based on model predictors and an exponential moving average:

rush86999··on What is happening to jobs? Separating AI hype from reality
AI is only replacing low-level work. It will eventually move on to high-level work.

One missing point: careers that require communication, especially person-to-person, won't be replaced by AI. Why? Because people don't like to speak with AI when they have a hard pain point to solve. It's not about intelligence; it's about trust and relationships that AI cannot replace.

rush86999··on DeepSeek pause fundraise after comments on compute gap to US leaked (transcript) [pdf]
The main goal is AGI, and the underlying prerequisite theme is continuous learning.

Everyone is trying to figure out how to achieve this prerequisite. I'm thinking of agent harnesses. That's what everyone is trying to do at this point.

That's the same problem I'm trying to solve: https://github.com/rush86999/atom

rush86999··on Kimi Work

rush86999··on Show HN: OpenClawMachines – Extending OpenClaw to the Enterprise
Autonomous Task Orchestration Management Agent === ATOM Agent
rush86999··on Show HN: OpenClawMachines – Extending OpenClaw to the Enterprise
Firecracker microVMs are safest. That's what I added to my repo; see above.
rush86999··on Show HN: Nobie – an Excel-compatible runtime for agents and humans
Is this manipulating excel files using agent AI? How is this different from using a python package like openpyxl and adding a UI layer on top with agentic co-editing?

https://github.com/rush86999/atom/blob/main/backend/core/off...

rush86999··on Show HN: OpenClawMachines – Extending OpenClaw to the Enterprise
OpenClaw needs to be built from the ground up.

I created Atom based on current research on agentic systems and am looking for maintainers & testers to help out.

rush86999··on SpaceX wants to launch 100k more Starlink satellites for 100x the bandwidth
China has a huge microwave to destroy any kind of Starlink over its head.
rush86999··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)
Working on:

https://www.novopathmedical.com/ - evidence-based guidance of diet, exercise, and mental health via SMS for end users. Clinician-guided feedback to bots.

https://github.com/rush86999/atom - ai agent workforce. Harder than expected. There are so many issues with sync with 3rd party apps. Need to launch the first one, so this is getting put on the back burner. landing page: https://atomagentos.com/

rush86999··on When AI Builds Itself: Our progress toward recursive self-improvement
Just as you expected, I'm throwing in my harness. Please support: https://github.com/rush86999/atom
rush86999··on Δ-Mem: Efficient Online Memory for Large Language Models
You would think git history should be the first thing an agent would look at, as they make so many mistakes before they get to the correct answer. They don't.

I haven't measured, but documenting bug fixes and architecture seems to help, along with TDD patterns, including integration tests.

I would probably add it to Claude.md to look for all of the above when tackling a new bug.

rush86999··on Launch HN: Cekura (YC F24) – Testing and monitoring for voice and chat AI agents
Nope - just use memory layer with model routing system.

https://github.com/rush86999/atom/blob/main/docs/EPISODIC_ME...

rush86999··on Launch HN: Cekura (YC F24) – Testing and monitoring for voice and chat AI agents
Only solution is to train the issue for the next time.

Architecturally focusing on Episodic memory with feedback system.

This training is retrieved next time when something similar happens

rush86999··on OpenClaw surpasses React to become the most-starred software project on GitHub
Everyone is using OpenClaw for personal productivity, but you're right. Not much value, as you can get that from existing products.

The market will eventually realize the business case for an OpenClaw-like product, and I'm waiting to ride its coattails!

rush86999··on Following 35% growth, solar has passed hydro on US grid
This is an incomplete thought.

A strong checks and balances without influence of bias, relationships, and politics can be implemented using a 2-way blind system where:

1. decision makers (of sound judgement) are not aware of any identifiable information related to any users on whom the decision will be made, nor of each other.

2. Users are not aware of the decision makers who will decide on them, nor of each other.

Possibly AI can play a role here, but a strong system of checks & balances would be a prerequisite for this.

The justice system would definitely benefit from this.

rush86999··on AI is not a coworker, it's an exoskeleton
Funny you described everything I worked on for this project: https://github.com/rush86999/atom

Cats out of the bag. Everyone knows the issue and I bet a lot of people are trying to deliver the same thing.
