A 10.5 GHz phased array radar with schematics, PCBs and firmware, all open

Phased array radar is usually closed, expensive hardware. AERIS-10 publishes the whole stack: schematics, PCB layouts, FPGA and STM32 firmware, and a Python GUI. Hardware is CERN-OHL-P, software is MIT.

Sixteen elements steer the beam electronically, ±45° in azimuth and elevation, and a stepper motor adds a 360° mechanical scan. An on-board FPGA does pulse compression, Doppler FFT, MTI and CFAR, so detection runs on the board, not on your laptop.

Two builds: AERIS-10N with an 8x16 patch array for about 3 km, and AERIS-10E with a 32x16 slotted waveguide array and 10 W GaN amplifiers for up to 20 km. GPS and IMU data tag each detection, and the GUI plots targets on a map.

It's alpha and some features are still in progress, so expect to hack. Start with the repo and pick a version.

OpenRig: Claude Code and Codex as one YAML-defined agent team

Running several coding agents usually means a pile of terminal tabs with no shared state. OpenRig wraps them into a "rig": you describe the team in YAML and boot it with one command.

Claude Code and Codex can sit in the same rig. You give a lead agent the outcome you want, and it coordinates specialists. A second seat checks the exact candidate before you read the result. A shared TUI shows every seat's runtime, model, context and state.

To try it, you need Node.js 20, 22 or 24 and tmux, on macOS or Linux. Install with npm install -g @openrig/cli, then run rig setup --dry-run first. Launching writes provider hooks and trust settings, so read the plan and back up your configs. After that, rig up first-project --cwd . starts an owner and a checker in your repo.

This agent searched Google Flights in 7.1 seconds — no screenshots taken

Most browser agents crawl a page one screenshot at a time, feeding pixels to a model and waiting. Jev Ultrafast skips that: it reads the page as an indexed table of elements and picks an operation and target in one network round trip. A small LLM only runs when the action is typing text.

The numbers back it up. Across six alternating runs on the same task, median time dropped from 9.45s to 7.09s and browser protocol calls fell from over a thousand to about a hundred. Every click is checked against the live DOM before it fires, and a finished task still gets independently verified.

It's a small, readable Python codebase — the whole loop fits in one file. Clone it, add a TypeSafe and OpenRouter key, and uv run jev opens a local inspector showing the element table, operation probabilities, and each action firing live.

Give your AI agents real access — without losing control of your machine

Agents are only useful once they can read files, install packages, call APIs, and use credentials. Giving them that without limits is a recipe for disaster. OpenShell is a Rust runtime that lets agents work with real capabilities while keeping a hard boundary around your data, secrets, and network.

Each agent runs under a policy enforced at the kernel level, on every file access, syscall, and network connection. Credentials never reach the agent directly — OpenShell injects them only into requests bound for endpoints you've approved.

Before a policy change ships, OpenShell formally verifies what new access it would grant. Anything risky, like reaching a new host with credentials, gets flagged and held for human review instead of applied silently.

Install with one shell command, then spin up an isolated sandbox with one more.

OpenShell vs E2B

OpenShell and E2B both give AI agents an isolated place to act, but OpenShell governs an agent's access to your own files, credentials and network with kernel-enforced policy, while E2B hands the agent a disposable cloud microVM to run its code in.

Pick OpenShell if Pick OpenShell if you run agents against real local files, secrets and hosts and need enforced, auditable policy with human-reviewed access changes.
Pick E2B if Pick E2B if you need instant, disposable cloud VMs to execute AI-generated code without running any infrastructure yourself.

Price & Licensing
OpenShell: OpenShell is free, open-source software under Apache 2.0 that you self-host, so there is no subscription or usage fee to the project itself.
E2B: E2B's Hobby tier is free with $100 in credits (20 concurrent sandboxes, 1-hour sessions), Pro is $150/month plus per-second usage, and Enterprise starts at a $3,000/month minimum.

Setup & Deployment
OpenShell: OpenShell only self-hosts: it needs Docker, Podman or Kubernetes plus host virtualization (KVM or Hypervisor.framework) and, on Linux, a 6.2+ kernel with Landlock; Windows support is still experimental.
E2B: E2B is mainly a managed cloud reachable with an API key in minutes across US/EU/APAC regions, plus an Apache-2.0 'Embed' package for self-hosting on Kubernetes, Docker Compose, or your own cloud.

Core Strength
OpenShell: OpenShell's core strength is governance: kernel-enforced file and network policy per agent, credentials the agent never sees directly, and SMT-solver formal verification of every policy change before a human approves it.
E2B: E2B's core strength is speed and breadth of compute: disposable Firecracker microVMs with SDKs for running AI-generated code, shell commands, filesystem access, desktop/computer-use, and snapshotting.

Scale & Limits
OpenShell: Any new host or credential an agent wants always pauses for human review, and there is no managed-cloud fallback — you run and scale the gateway and sandboxes yourself.
E2B: The free tier caps out at 20 concurrent sandboxes with 1-hour sessions; scaling further costs $150+/month, up to $1,150/month for 1,100 concurrent sandboxes.

Who's Behind It
OpenShell: OpenShell comes from NVIDIA, led by senior directors Alex Watson and Ali Golshan, both ex-Gretel (acquired by NVIDIA in 2025), backed by NVIDIA's engineering resources.
E2B: E2B is an independent startup (legally FoundryLabs, Inc.) founded in 2023 by Czech founders Vasek Mlejnsky and Tomas Valenta, which raised a $21M Series A led by Insight Partners in 2025.

One 25 MB app that talks to 100+ databases

DBX is a single lightweight client that replaces the pile of separate database tools on your machine. MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Redis, MongoDB, DuckDB, SQL Server, Dameng, and dozens more, all through one binary.

▶️ Watch the video on YouTube

No more one client per database
The usual setup is a different app for Postgres, another for Mongo, another for whatever else you touch that week. DBX collapses all of them into one tiny, cross-platform client, written in Rust, that stays under 25 MB while covering 100+ database engines.


Desktop, Docker, or terminal
Same tool, three shapes: a native desktop app, a Docker image for servers and CI boxes, and a CLI for working straight from the terminal. Pick whichever fits the machine you're on.


Built-in AI assistant and MCP server
DBX ships with an AI assistant that writes SQL for you from a plain-language ask, instead of you writing the query by hand. It also runs an MCP server, so other AI agents and tools can query your databases through the same interface.


21,000 stars, 349 in a single day
The project crossed 21,000 GitHub stars, with 349 of those landing in just one day, a sign of how fast the "one client for everything" pitch is spreading among developers.


Try it
Grab a build for your OS from the GitHub Releases page, or run it straight from Docker:
docker run -it --rm t8y2/dbx

Prefer the terminal? Install the CLI and point it at any of the 100+ supported databases to connect, browse tables, and run queries.

This repo draws your own architecture — and hit 48,000 stars in a month

Archify turns a plain description or a real repository into one interactive HTML diagram. No stale PNG, no slide — a live map you can click through in a browser.

▶️ Watch the video on YouTube

Diagrams that don't rot
Most architecture diagrams go stale the moment the code changes, because redrawing them by hand never keeps up. Archify skips that step: describe a system, or point it at a repo, and it builds a diagram live — architecture, workflow, sequence, data-flow, or lifecycle. The output is one self-contained HTML file with motion, so there's nothing to host and nothing to install to view it.


Checked against your real files
Before it shows you the result, Archify checks every box in the diagram against your actual source files — it's not just drawing what you said, it's verifying it. The README shows this on a public repo: it traced mco-org/mco at a pinned commit and produced a checked, source-backed system map, not a guess.


Click a node, trace the path
Click any node and everything downstream of it lights up, so you can follow one step through the whole system. You can also highlight a specific route — like a cache-miss path from web app to database — switch between light and dark themes, zoom in, and export the result crisp and clean for a doc or a deck.


Try it
Works with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode.

npx skills add tt-a1i/archify -g


Then send your agent something like:

Use Archify to diagram a web request: Browser calls the API,
the API checks Redis, and a cache miss queries PostgreSQL and fills the cache.


No repository required — start from a description, or ask your agent to read a repo for a source-backed diagram instead.

6,000 stars in a week for the app that runs five coding agents at once

One prompt goes out to a fleet of coding agents at once, each racing in its own git worktree — you watch every branch finish, then merge whichever one won.

▶️ Watch the video on YouTube

Stop juggling agents — running Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor apart wastes hours switching context

A worktree per agent — Orca isolates every run in git, so parallel agents never step on each other's files

Steer from your phone — get notified when an agent finishes and send follow-ups from anywhere

Offload to a remote box — SSH worktrees push the heavy jobs onto a beefier machine

Your own subscription — one app for every agent, always in sync across desktop, mobile, and remote

How the fleet actually runs

Orca is a TypeScript, Electron-based orchestrator. Point it at Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, or any CLI agent that runs in a terminal, and it drives each one through your own existing subscription — no extra API keys, no new billing to set up.

Every agent gets a real git worktree, so five parallel runs on the same repo work in total isolation. Watch them finish side by side, pick the branch you like, and merge it; throw away the rest.

The mobile companion app (iOS App Store, Android APK) pings you when a worktree finishes and lets you reply from your phone. SSH worktrees run the same flow on a remote box, with auto-reconnect and port forwarding, for jobs too heavy for a laptop.

It's also scriptable: orca worktree create, orca snapshot, orca click, and orca fill let an agent drive Orca itself from the CLI.

MIT licensed, runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Grab the build at onorca.dev/download.

OpenClaw 2026.9.7: updates that back up before they break anything

OpenClaw users have watched an update wreck their setup. This release makes sure that stops happening.

▶️ Watch the video on YouTube

Backup before every update — state and agent databases snapshot first

Automatic rollback — break something and it restores the last clean snapshot

OpenAI Agents API — OpenClaw now plugs straight into it

No more frozen sessions — a busy chat won't stall everyone else's

Restart-safe work — a Gateway restart won't lose what your agent was doing

What changed in 2026.9.7

Before, an update could leave OpenClaw's state and agent databases in a broken spot with no way back. Now every update snapshots them first, and if the update breaks something, OpenClaw rolls back to that clean snapshot automatically. The fix is logged right on GitHub.

This release also wires OpenClaw into OpenAI's new Agents API, next to the existing Claude and Codex model plugins you can already swap without touching the rest of the setup.

Session handling got sturdier too: a busy chat no longer freezes everyone else's session on the same Gateway, and a restart won't lose the work your agent was doing.

OpenClaw runs on your own hardware — state, memory, and credentials stay local, with no paid tier or token. Update with the installer:

curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash

Already manage Node.js yourself?

npm install -g openclaw@latest --allow-scripts=openclaw

Then confirm the Gateway is up:

1,000 stars in a day for the RAG that skips vectors

PageIndex throws out the vector database and lets an LLM reason its way to the answer, the way a person flips to the right page in a report.

▶️ Watch the video on YouTube

Similarity isn't relevance — vector search finds what looks alike, not what actually answers the question

No vectors, just reasoning — an LLM searches the document directly instead of matching embeddings

A tree index, not a vector index — built like a table of contents, straight from the document's own layout

Reads like an expert — the model walks that tree down to the right section, instead of scanning chunks

A dollar, a few minutes — indexing 1,000 pages costs about a buck and finishes well under five

How it actually works

The tree structure comes straight from the document's layout, not from an LLM. A second model, called the index model, just summarizes and refines it — a basic model is fine here. The chat model is where the real work happens: it reasons its way down the tree to the right section, the way a person turns to a page in a report, instead of pulling back chunks by similarity.

Indexing runs about $0.001 per page with gpt-5.6-luna, so a 1,000-page document costs a little over a dollar, once — every later question reuses the same tree. In the project's own benchmarks, documents from 9 to 1,098 pages finished indexing in 13 seconds to 4.5 minutes.

PageIndex-OSS-Benchmark ran the exact quickstart setup — local mode, flash indexing, no OCR — on 62 lookup questions over 34 PDFs (1,945 pages) drawn from MMLongBench-Doc-V2. Every answer is a fact stated in the running text, so a wrong answer means a retrieval or reading failure, not a reasoning one — and every answer traces back to an explicit part of the tree, with no vector database anywhere in the loop.

Try it yourself:
pip install -U pageindex

then point PageIndexClient at your own OpenAI key to index a PDF and start asking it questions.
