Apex Protocol – An open MCP-based standard for AI agent trading
THE SO WHAT
Trading is turning into an agent-to-agent protocol problem — Apex is an early attempt to standardize how AI agents talk, negotiate, and settle across markets. If you're building agentic workflows that touch money, you now have to decide: integrate into emerging standards like this or accept being an island.

Show HN: I built a tiny LLM to demystify how language models work
A 9M-parameter transformer training in 5 minutes on a free Colab is the new 'view source' — LLM literacy is about to spread beyond researchers to any engineer willing to read 130 lines of PyTorch. Teams that treat models as black boxes will get out-executed by those who can instrument, debug, and adapt them at this level.
Show HN: Gemma Gem – AI model embedded in a browser – no API keys, no cloud
A 2B Gemma running via WebGPU as a Chrome extension that can read, click, type, and script any page turns the browser into an agent runtime — not just a UI. If your product lives in the browser, assume the next user is an on-device model driving the session and design flows, auth, and abuse protections accordingly.
Show HN: TermHub – Open-source terminal control gateway built for AI Agents
An open-source terminal gateway for AI agents turns your CLI into an execution substrate — the risk-reward line moves from 'can the model reason' to 'how tightly are you constraining what it’s allowed to run on prod machines.'
Applied AIMedvi, glorified by the NYT as a two-employee startup with $1B+ in revenue, is a warning about how AI can be misused for shady business and marketing practices (Gary Marcus/Marcus on AI)
AI-native businesses are now a cover story for old-school gray-zone marketing and arbitrage — the Medvi narrative shows how easy it is to launder sketchy unit economics as ‘AI magic.’ If your GTM or vendor relies on opaque AI claims instead of verifiable funnels, margins, and controls, assume the risk is reputational as much as financial.
