Show HN: ArchGW – an intelligent edge and service proxy for agents

Hey HN!

This is Adil, Salman and Jose and and we’re behind archgw [1]. An intelligent proxy server designed as an edge and AI gateway for agents - one that natively know how to handle prompts, not just network traffic. We’ve made several sweeping changes so sharing the project again.

Show HN: I built an LLM chat app because we shouldn't need 10 AI subscriptions

I'm lost between ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini... which subscriptions to take? With Cursor and all these specific AI tools, I just wanted one simple chat app where I can use any model and pay only when I use it.

Couldn't find one, so I built one.

Pay only for what you use. Your prompts and docs, knowledge bases work with every model - no more copy-pasting between apps.

Started as a personal project, but thought someone else might benefit from this too.

A newly discovered exoplanet rekindles humanity’s oldest question: Are we alone?

Child psychologists tell us that around the age of five or six, children begin to seriously contemplate the world around them. It’s a glorious moment every parent recognizes—when young minds start to grasp the magnificence and mystery of the universe beyond their nurseries and bedrooms.

That wonderment—their very own “aha” moments, and the questions they provoke—are what truly make us human. And this summer, thanks to both the scientific triumphs of astronomers and the creati

Show HN: I made a JSFiddle-style playground to test and share prompts fast

I built this out of frustration as I lead the development of AI features at Yola.com.

Prompt testing should be simple and straightforward. All I wanted was a simple way to test prompts with variables and jinja2 templates across different models, ideally somthing I could open during a call, run few tests, and share results with my team.

And that's not all.
