VectorCraft: Exact Curve Booleans and 27 ms Renders - Inside storytold/vector...
Vector editors are where precision goes to die. Ask any tool to subtract one blob from another and half the time you get the infamous “cannot perform operation” dialog, a snapped anchor you never moved, or a file that renders...
Semantic Kernel: The Kernel That Ran Enterprise AI Agents - Inside microsoft/...
Before “agent framework” was a product category, Microsoft shipped an SDK with a stranger and better idea: treat the LLM like an operating system kernel. Prompts became functions, your Python methods became plugins, and a single orchestrator scheduled them all....
PhotoCraft: Photoshop Reborn in Pure Rust - Inside storytold/photocraft
Photoshop is the most-cloned application in creative software, and almost every clone has failed the same way: they rebuild the toolbar but not the object model, so layers stop behaving the moment you push past trivial edits. PhotoCraft, from the...
PdfCraft: An Acrobat Rebuilt From ISO 32000 - Inside storytold/pdfcraft
Acrobat is the app everyone uses and almost nobody trusts, because PDF tooling has a history of subscription walls, telemetry, and destructive saves. PdfCraft, part of the ArtCraft family on getartcraft.com, is the clean-room answer: an open-source reimplementation of Acrobat...
MetaGPT: A Software Company of LLM Agents in One Line - Inside geekan/MetaGPT
Most agent frameworks give you a loop and a toolbox. MetaGPT gives you an org chart. The repository at geekan/MetaGPT, MIT-licensed and currently at version 1.0.0, sells itself in one sentence: the multi-agent framework, and internally it includes product managers,...
LightCraft: A Lightroom Rebuilt in Pure Rust - Inside storytold/lightcraft
Lightroom has owned photo workflow for two decades, and every attempt to replace it has stumbled on the same wall: the library. Browsers can mimic the develop sliders, but ratings, flags, albums, previews, and the guarantee that your edits survive...
Langfuse: LLM Observability Built on ClickHouse - Inside langfuse/langfuse
When an LLM application misbehaves in production, the question is never whether something went wrong but where, and that question needs infrastructure to answer. Langfuse, the MIT-licensed open source LLM engineering platform at langfuse/langfuse, is that infrastructure: tracing, evaluation, prompt...
Jan: Rebuilding a Local ChatGPT Replacement on Tauri - Inside janhq/jan
Running an LLM on your own machine used to mean choosing between a CLI tool and a science project. Jan, self-described as an open-source ChatGPT replacement, occupies the middle ground: a real desktop product, downloadable from the Microsoft Store, Flathub,...
GraphRAG: When Your RAG Needs a Map - Inside microsoft/graphrag
Plain RAG retrieves passages; GraphRAG retrieves a map. The project at microsoft/graphrag, MIT-licensed and currently at version 3.3.0, describes itself as a data transformation suite that extracts meaningful, structured data from unstructured text using the power of LLMs, and the...
GPT Pilot: The Agent Team That Built Apps Step by Step - Inside Pythagora-io/...
Before the current wave of coding agents, there was GPT Pilot, the project at Pythagora-io/gpt-pilot whose thesis was refreshingly specific: AI can write most of the code for an app, maybe ninety-five percent, but a developer is needed for the...
FilmCraft: Premiere Pro Without FFmpeg - Inside storytold/filmcraft
Video editing is the hardest app to reimplement because it is really three apps stacked: an editing database, a media decoder zoo, and a rendering engine. FilmCraft, from the ArtCraft family on getartcraft.com, takes all three head-on in pure Rust....
EffectCraft: 306 Effects and Zero FFmpeg - Inside storytold/effectcraft
Every motion designer knows the deal: the compositor that defines the industry asks for a subscription, a login, and a machine that eats RAM for breakfast, and its project files are a binary blob you cannot even diff. EffectCraft, from...
DSPy: Programming, Not Prompting, Your Language Models - Inside stanfordnlp/dspy
Most prompt frameworks hand you a string and wish you luck. DSPy, from Stanford NLP, hands you a compiler mindset instead: you declare what goes in and what comes out with typed Signatures, compose those calls into Python Modules, and...
Knuth-Plass Type and Print-Grade PDF - Inside storytold/designcraft
Page layout is the most conservative craft in software. A magazine does not care how modern your toolkit is; it cares that the rag is even, the hyphenation is defensible, the folios land on the parent page, and the PDF...
Browser Use: Teaching LLMs to Drive the Web - Inside browser-use/browser-use
The README of browser-use/browser-use opens with a dare: navigate the web like a human does. Its demo shows the agent finding an available slot, picking a date, handling the CAPTCHA, and booking a driving test, and its self-description is blunt...
AnythingLLM: Your Private ChatGPT in a Box - Inside Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm
AnythingLLM calls itself the all-in-one AI app you were looking for: chat with your docs, use AI agents, hyper-configurable, multi-user, and no frustrating setup required. The pitch at Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm, MIT-licensed by Mintplex Labs and currently at version 1.17.0, is a...
Agno: One Library for Building and Running Agent Platforms - Inside agno-agi/...
Most agent frameworks stop at the SDK and leave you to figure out serving, storage, and access control. Agno, Apache-2.0-licensed and currently at version 3.1.2, describes itself as the programming language for agentic software, and the README makes the scope...
Prompt Flow: Microsoft's Engineering Discipline for LLM Apps - Inside microso...
Prompt Flow is Microsoft’s answer to a question every team eventually asks: what would it look like if LLM application development had the same engineering discipline as ordinary software? The README defines it as “a suite of development tools designed...
Ollama: How the Local Model Runner Puts an LLM on Every Machine - Inside olla...
Ollama is the tool that made running open models a one-line command, and it is now a standard piece of developer infrastructure: install it with curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh on macOS or Linux, irm https://ollama.com/install.ps1 | iex on Windows,...
Open Interpreter: Reborn as a Rust Coding Agent for Cheap Models - Inside ope...
If you remember Open Interpreter as the Python project that let a language model loose in your terminal, the current repository will surprise you. The README now introduces “a coding agent optimized for low-cost models,” and the source is a...
LlamaIndex: The Data Framework That Taught LLMs to Read Your Files - Inside r...
LlamaIndex is the framework that made “connect your data to an LLM” a teachable, layered discipline rather than a pile of glue scripts. Its monorepo at run-llama/llama_index is MIT-licensed Python organized with unusual clarity: llama-index-core holds the abstractions, llama-index-integrations holds...
LangChain: The Agent Engineering Platform From the Inside - Inside langchain-...
LangChain describes itself as “the agent engineering platform,” and the monorepo backs the branding with real architecture: an MIT-licensed Python framework whose core abstraction, the Runnable, lets models, prompts, tools, parsers, and retrievers compose into applications with the pipe operator,...
gpt-engineer: The OG Code Generation Platform - Inside gpt-engineer-org/gpt-e...
gpt-engineer calls itself “the OG code generation experimentation platform,” and the README is refreshingly honest about what it wants to be: not a polished product but a laboratory where coding-agent builders can specify software in natural language, watch an AI...
Flowise: Building the Visual Agent Factory - Inside FlowiseAI/Flowise
Flowise taught a generation of developers that you could build LLM applications the way children build with blocks: drag a node, draw a line, press play. The repository at FlowiseAI/Flowise is a TypeScript monorepo that grew into one of the...
