Repo Radar tracks five GitHub projects pulling AI onto hardware teams control: openhuman, a Rust personal agent with on-device inference; LEANN, a private retrieval index that runs on a laptop; supertonic, on-device speech across 31 languages; archestra, a governance plane for company MCP servers; and NVIDIA's video-search-and-summarization blueprint for self-hosted vision agents. Stars, license, push date, and a difficulty score for each.
Marco Hillger built TypeWhisper after a stroke three years ago left him unable to type for sustained periods. The open-source app now earns about 2,000 euros a month while staying free under GPLv3, and it lets users pick their own speech engines and cleanup models.
Build a professional Pi Coding Agent communication bus with a local broker, TypeScript extension, role prompts, message acks, TTL pruning, and guardrails for production-to-development handoffs. This tutorial shows how to run two Pi sessions with separate context, exchange redacted fixtures safely, block command forwarding, and add audit-ready message logs before adding agents.

Serena gives it IDE-grade code navigation. ccusage tells you what the other three cost. Here is how to install them and the commands that actually matter
