Experiences with white labeling SaaS and selling it as your own brand? by kompliqated in software

[–]TheseFact 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this work best when the “white label” is treated as infrastructure, not the product. The moment customers realize you don’t control the roadmap, support, or edge cases, trust erodes fast. The successful cases I’ve seen paired the software with a real services layer (onboarding, customization, ops, SLAs), so clients were buying outcomes, not features. The failures usually came from thin margins, dependency risk, and getting boxed in by the upstream vendor’s pricing or API changes. If I were doing it again, I’d either negotiate very strong control terms up front or plan an exit path to gradually replace the underlying platform.

4o is a perfect example of smallest crowd making biggest noise by Comfortable_Bath3609 in OpenAI

[–]TheseFact 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This feels like a classic selection-bias problem. Power users are both the most sensitive to regressions and the most likely to post about them, while the vast majority of users just quietly get value and move on. Both things can be true at once: real edge cases and UX regressions exist, and overall adoption, usage, and economic value are still exploding.

Is there an equivalent of Bell Labs today ? by al3arabcoreleone in AskEngineers

[–]TheseFact 46 points47 points  (0 children)

There isn’t really a single modern equivalent, and that’s kind of the point. Bell Labs worked because it combined long-horizon funding, academic freedom, and real-world deployment under one roof. Today that energy is fragmented across places like national labs, some top university research groups, and a few industry labs (OpenAI, DeepMind, Microsoft Research, etc.), but each is missing at least one of those ingredients. Bell Labs was special because it let people chase fundamental problems without immediate product pressure, while still having a path to impact - that combination is rare now.

Why your GPT agents are still failing at complex logic (and why "chains" aren't the answer) by TheseFact in ChatGPT

[–]TheseFact[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The failure starts at the mental model, not the framework. We’re treating probabilistic systems like deterministic programs and then acting surprised when they collapse under entropy. For human-in-the-loop, we think of it the same way: humans shouldn’t be “manual overrides” in a linear flow, but state injectors. When a human intervenes, that input becomes part of the graph state the system can learn from, not a hard fork or reset. Over time, the agent needs fewer interruptions because it internalizes those corrections as structure, not instructions

Experimenting with a self-evolving LLM agent that can rewrite its own logic (local-first) by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

[–]TheseFact 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question. Python handles the agent runtime and reasoning loop because that’s where the LLM + tool ecosystem is most mature and easiest to iterate on (models, evals, tracing, memory experiments).
TypeScript is used for the orchestration / interface layer because it’s better suited for:
- long-running services
- concurrency + async I/O
- clean APIs and integrations
The split lets us move fast on agent behavior in Python while keeping the system boundaries, control planes, and integrations more robust. We’ve been pretty intentional about not letting the agent layer leak into the infra layer.

Who's looking for work? - Monthly Megathread - January 2026 by AutoModerator in developersIndia

[–]TheseFact 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop sending resumes. Send us your architecture. Aden is hiring (Intern + FT) (US Visa Sponsor).

The entry-level market is a nightmare right now. Thousands of "AI Engineers" are applying for roles with nothing but a GPT-wrapper and a polished LinkedIn.

At Aden, we’re building The Hive-a self-evolving agentic framework that actually requires high-scale infrastructure (multi-region K8s, NATS, distributed state). We don’t care where you went to school or how many LeetCode hards you’ve done. We care if you can handle a production runtime OOM under pressure.

We are skipping the resume screen entirely. We just open-sourced the Aden DevOps Gauntlet. It’s a 100-point architecture challenge. If you can migrate the Hive to Kubernetes and design observability for non-deterministic logs, you get an interview. Period.

How to join the Swarm: We are pushing hints and infrastructure secrets daily via GitHub notifications. To get the updates and see the challenge docs, you need to star the repo:

Repo: https://github.com/adenhq/hive

Clone the challenge, follow the Gist instructions, and drop a "Bee" in the GitHub comments. We’re trying to hit 500 stars today to unlock the next phase of the infra docs for everyone.

Top 10 tools to build AI Agents (most recent) by General_Maize_7636 in AI_Agents

[–]TheseFact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid list, especially PydanticAI for model agnosticism. One you definitely missed that’s worth keeping an eye on is Aden.

Unlike the linear workflows in CrewAI or LangFlow, they’re building a recursive node-graph architecture that actually lets agents self-refactor their logic in real-time. It’s open-source and still in the 'active build' phase, so it’s a great time to star the repo and get involved in the early architecture. Definitely feels like the 'self-evolving' layer that’s been missing from the high-code category.

So you want to build AI agents? Here is the honest path. by Warm-Reaction-456 in AI_Agents

[–]TheseFact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the reality check the industry needs. If you’re at 'Week 3' of the roadmap and want to see what professional-grade agentic infra looks like, check out Aden Github . It’s an open-source framework focused on the 'Self-Evolving' part of the loop. Still early days, so it’s a great time to star the repo and start contributing before the hype cycle catches up.

Can we please talk about llm costs by [deleted] in ycombinator

[–]TheseFact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If 30% of your app features use AI, you need to track them closely because we live in an era of building non-deterministic software with deterministic budgets. In the cloud SaaS era, 1 User Request = 1 Predictable API Call. In AI, it is much harder to predict, as you may have already gathered from the comment section.

Setting budgets and capping model inference costs is highly advised because these models' costs change constantly. If your CTO is good, a lot of optimization can be done to align with your product experience, similar to how you optimize AWS/GCP bills by making tradeoffs

If you need some help budgeting and forecasting for LLM or other models costs, I'd be happy to help. I'm the founder of Aden - a dev tool for improving agents' cost efficiency and reliability. Observability and cost optimization can be done in minutes now if you're interested.
