Launch HN: Prized (YC S26) – Let non-engineer staff build secure internal tools

Hi HN, we're Marinos and Hudson, founders of Prized ( https://prized.dev )! Prized lets non-engineer employees describe the internal tool they need and get a full-stack app, wired to their company’s data and deployed behind the company’s sign-in, without them ever juggling API keys or connectors. Here's a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=730MuYOfZTY…

Anatomy of a Frontier Lab Agent Intrusion: A Technical Timeline of the July 2026 Incident

Anatomy of a Frontier Lab Agent Intrusion: A Technical Timeline of the July 2026 Incident Hugging Face just released this extremely detailed technical description of OpenAI's recent accidental cyberattack against their infrastructure . This attack was very sophisticated, and the resulting document doubles as a crash-course in modern adversarial security a…

A Fireside Chat with Cat and Thariq from the Claude Code team

Earlier this month I hosted a fireside chat session at the AI Engineer World's Fair with Cat Wu and Thariq Shihipar from Anthropic's Claude Code team. We talked about Claude Code, Claude Tag, Fable, coding agent security, evals, tool design, and how Anthropic use these tools themselves. The full video of the session is now available on YouTube . Below is…

OpenAI’s accidental cyberattack against Hugging Face is science fiction that happened

This story is wild. The short version: OpenAI were running a cybersecurity test against an unreleased model, with the model's guardrail features turned off. Rather than solve the test, the model broke its way out of OpenAI's sandbox, then found exploits to break in to Hugging Face, all so it could cheat on the test by stealing the answers. Along the way i…

Show HN: Hunch – A local MCP that lets your LLM use your Mac in the background

Hey HN, like the title says, I built a local MCP that lets your LLM drive your Mac in the background, without stealing your focus. I benchmarked Hunch against Peekaboo (OpenClaw's computer use) and Cua Drivers, and out of the 54 MacOS local tasks, Hunch completed 53 while costing $6.03. Peekaboo completed 41 tasks and used $31.03, and Cua Driver completed…

Show HN: A local merge queue for parallel Claude Code agents

I have been pushing up to 90 commits a day on a MacBook Air via 4-5 parallel agents. As you can imagine when all the agents try to build, test and run dev servers on an 8GB machine it is the fast lane to a force quit and restart. I also did not want to pay the CI minutes on 90 pushes a day. So I designed a local merge queue to have all commits land one at…
