What People Are Saying

  • "Added aspect ratio support. This also fixes the cropping/zooming issue when editing the same image multiple times."Hugging Face discussion (community contributor)

  • "Updating soon. Thanks for the suggestion."Hugging Face discussion (maintainer reply)

  • "The reason for the conversion is flexibility. It allows people to load it wherever needed and also reduces inference time when loading to cuda during the build."Hugging Face discussion (maintainer reply)

  • "Load and convert phr00ts latest transformer (v19) directly instead of using an outdated preconverted version"Hugging Face discussion (community contributor)

MiniMax H3

Video generation with a synchronized soundtrack MiniMax-H3 — unquantized, split across two Spaces Joint video and soundtrack out of a single denoising pass, at bfloat16 with no quantization anywhere. This Space is the denoising half: the 61.73 GiB transformer and the two autoencoders. The 62.14 GiB Qwen3-VL conditioner runs in qwen3vl-conditioner, which this Space calls over the gradio API for every request. The weights are the public MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-H3 diffusers checkpoint. MiniMax-H3 is 195.9 GiB in bfloat16 and a ZeroGPU Space is evicted at 150 GB of storage. An unquantized single Space is therefore impossible, which is why quantized demos of it run NVFP4 or float8 weights. Cut the Mini...

Kitesurf

Use Kitesurf, Cloudflare's stateless, agent-first browser that runs entirely on Workers, with Browser Run for screenshots, HTML extraction, and automation.

Market Signal

Why It Has Market Pull

Kitesurf is a flagship Cloudflare launch (announced on the official Cloudflare blog, not just Product Hunt) - a from-scratch, stateless browser engine built specifically for AI agents that runs in V8 isolates on Workers. It generated broad, credible tech-press coverage (TechCrunch, Digital Trends, MarkTechPost) and a substantial Hacker News debate within a day of launch, giving it unusually strong builder and press momentum for a beta product.

  • Built by Cloudflare (public company); passed 215,000+ Web Platform Tests after 12 weeks of development
  • Uses 3.1-3.8x less CPU and 4.7-7x less memory than Chromium on common agent tasks, per Cloudflare's own benchmarks
  • Covered by TechCrunch, Digital Trends, MarkTechPost, and Yahoo News within 48 hours of launch (Aug 6-8, 2026)
  • 136 Product Hunt votes; drop-in compatible with existing Puppeteer/Playwright/MCP clients via a single browser parameter
  • Front-page Hacker News discussion generated 5+ substantive top-level threads on architecture and identity/payment gaps for agents

What People Are Saying

  • "This is built on top of Blitz: a new modular (open source) browser engine that I've been building for the last 2.5 years."HN comment

  • "Cloudflare should honestly split itself and spinoff the CDN and DDOS/Cybersecurity company if it's also going to do agents."HN comment

  • "The missing primitive for agents is not a browser. It is a portable identity and a spendable balance that are not borrowed from a human's phone and credit card."HN comment

  • "The risky part of a browser agent isn't code escaping, it's that it reads untrusted pages and then acts on them."HN comment

  • "wish it was open source so it can be run locally...it'd be very easy for websites to fingerprint and block"HN comment

Coldtea.ai

486

The faster your team ships with AI, the harder it becomes to keep production stable. Not anymore. Coldtea is an agentic IDE where your coding agents build, visual QA agents catch regressions, and AI monitoring watches production, so your team can keep moving at agent speed without breaking anything

Soloop

477

Soloop is an agentic company-building system for solo founders. It takes you from idea to revenue with an AI CEO to plan, manage and prioritize, an AI CTO to build and execute, and an AI CMO to find users and sell. Keep your own judgment and ownership while delegating the unfamiliar work that usually requires a team.

Nitro 4.0

258

Nitro is now the first human translation service an AI agent can order and pay for on its own — no account, no API keys, no signup. Your agent sends the text, pays per request, and a professional native speaker translates it — publication-ready in hours. Great for the smaller texts that still need to be right: ads, app updates, email sequences, and more. The ordering is machine-to-machine. The translating stays human. 80+ languages. No plans, no minimums.

Rindler

257

Rindler automates the repetitive web work your team still does by hand. Say what you need in plain English, and Rindler goes to the real site, signs in when needed, completes the task, and returns clean structured data. Put it on a schedule and it keeps running. Instead of making a browser agent guess every time, Rindler maps each site ahead of time and repairs workflows when pages change, so recurring tasks stay reliable

BrowserOS neo

204

BrowserOS neo is a web browser built NOT for you but for your AI agents. It runs on your machine and connects to Claude Code, Cowork, and Codex finishes real tasks on your behalf. It's magical!

Progress AI Observability

163

Debug and monitor AI agent failures in minutes. Trace every run, catch hallucinations and ungrounded answers that traditional monitoring misses, and see exactly what went wrong. Reduce token waste, improve agent quality, and ship faster with support forNET, Python, and JavaScript.

Draco – A single-binary, self-hostable Firecrawl alternative in Rust

14 pts

Scraping modern websites has become a massive headache. You basically have two choices: pay for an expensive API like Firecrawl/Browserbase, or run a fleet of headless Chrome instances that eat 1GB of RAM per page and still get blocked by Cloudflare. I built Draco to fix this. It’s a fast, single-binary web scraper written in Rust. You point it at a URL, and it spits out perfectly clean Markdown or structured JSON for LLMs. The secret sauce is that it doesn't just boot a browser for every reques... (14 points, 10 comments).

Blender for AI Agents

Creating 3D is hard. LLMs seem to be getting better at tool use and spatial understanding. While MCPs have proved to be a good way to use these tools- the current methods have these challenges: - Access to scene graph and core C modules of Blender - Lack of parallelism, only way is to run blender headless - Lack of deterministic and fast verification layer - Inference stack- only way to use inference is to hook another MCP We're building Mixar, think Cursor for 3D.

Aident Loadout – connect Codex to real apps with 25000 actions

4 pts

Hey HN, I'm Kimi, the founder of Aident. The reason we build Loadout is pretty simple: 1) more than coding, I want more from Codex or Claude Code. I want them to do some real jobs for me. However, without connections to the real tools they need, they'd stop at planning and talking but not shipping the real result. So, we built Loadout so they can find and use the tools they need without configuring APIs, MCPs or CLIs. 2) Then, we realized something even worse: it's a nightmare for me to configur...

Remembrane – agent memory in one SQLite file, zero dependencies

11 pts

This is a small library for giving an agent persistent memory without running any infrastructure. The whole store is one SQLite file, and the default install has no dependencies. I built it because whenever I wanted an agent to remember a handful of facts across sessions, the options were a hosted API, a vector database, or a framework, and that felt like too much for what is usually a few thousand short strings. The part I find most useful is that recall is deterministic, so you can write unit... (11 points, 0 comments).
