    Open-sourcing Deriv One: the self-hosted AI platform we run in production

    Deriv has open-sourced Deriv One, an MIT-licensed, self-hosted AI platform combining a reviewed skills catalogue, registered Slack agents, a multi-pane workspace, sandboxed code execution, and a no-code app builder, all running on one identity directory and secrets vault with usage tracked against the company's own model gateway. The team says the real problem was never discovery but control—deciding who can run which skill—and that 221 skills came from 54 people across the company. The repository includes provider interfaces, Docker images, Kubernetes starter manifests, and adopter documentation, but excludes Deriv's production cloud plugins, internal integrations, Terraform and Helm configuration, and Slack DMZ relay implementation.

    Show HN: Universal Blindspot Detector (AI meta-analysis)

    A free, no-signup tool that reframes AI conversations to surface the smallest moves a user could have made to reveal unknown assumptions, aiming to show the value of AI as a reflective surface for finding "unknown unknowns." The author argues output quality depends on the context behind decisions, and that iterating in planning and strategy phases is cheaper than the execution phase, where they often one-shot output even with local models like Qwen 3.6/3.8. Users must export conversations in specific formats and upload them; the project was built by the author and a few interns in a barn during indie game development and costs money to run.

    Infini-AI-Lab Releases Hermit, an Open-Source Harness Adapter Framework for AI Agents

    Infini-AI-Lab has released Hermit v0.1.0, an Apache-2.0 Python framework that trains an external "harness adapter" while the agent's model and harness stay frozen, letting Codex or Claude Code agents adapt to new tasks without fine-tuning or forking the harness. It ships five evolution methods (GEPA, SkillOpt, MetaWorld Model, Harness², Continual Harness) and reports gains over no-adapter baselines on OfficeQA, CL-Bench and ServeLearnBench with GLM 5.3 Flash, including 0.795 accuracy on CL-Bench database exploration versus a 0.580 in-context baseline. The results are self-reported and mostly single runs, and adapters can be deployed to Codex, Claude Code or Pi or exported as native plugins.

    A zero-dependency auditor for AI agent exposure (secrets, SSH, configs)

    Dante is a free, MIT-licensed Node.js command-line tool that checks a machine for exposed secrets, risky SSH and Windows settings, and AI agent configuration, showing the proof line behind each verdict and reporting UNKNOWN rather than SAFE when it cannot read the evidence. It has zero dependencies and no install scripts, runs offline by default, and only uses the network for three actions (knowledge pack fetch, catalog, optional bait watch) after the user approves a printed command. The page argues signature antivirus is the wrong tool for AI agents, which run with the user's rights, citing the August 2025 s1ngularity attack on Nx and the later Shai-Hulud npm worm as examples of credential-hunting that worked because secrets were readable.

    How we rebuilt provider routing for better, faster inference

    OpenRouter announced a new default provider routing algorithm that scores endpoints on realized price, time to first token, throughput, error and rate-limit rates, and output quality rather than input token price alone. In a week-long switchback experiment over 24 million requests, the new router cut TTFT p50 by 16.9%, raised throughput p50 by 16.3%, and reduced requests hitting at least one 429 by 67%, with cost per K requests up 6.0%. Explicit sorts, provider.order, and cache-aware conversation pinning still work as before, and price-only routing remains available via provider.sort "price" or the :floor suffix.

    Why it matters: Useful for teams on OpenRouter deciding whether to keep default routing or opt back into price-only sorting, since it quantifies the speed, reliability, and cost tradeoffs.
