The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: OmniDiff – Opensource, super fast, content aware Git difftool, in Rust · score 7.8

  OmniDiff is a content-aware difftool written in Rust that goes beyond line-based diffing by understanding code, images, archives, fonts, PDFs, and more, producing precise structural diffs. It integrates with Git and Jujutsu, offers a rich TUI, headless mode, and JSON output, addressing a real gap in developer tooling.

• Show HN: Resin, fast native scheduler for LLM inference engines · score 7.8

  Resin provides a Rust-based scheduler and KV cache for LLM inference engines, separating scheduling logic from model-specific forward pass kernels in Python. It supports advanced features like speculative decoding, parallelisms, CUDA graphs, and an HTTP serve layer, allowing rapid development of custom inference engines with competitive performance.

• Show HN: AgentGate – Fast authorization gateway for AI agent tools · score 7.8

  AgentGate is an out-of-process authorization firewall for AI agent tool calls, using a fine-tuned Qwen 0.8B model to classify prompt injection, goal alignment, reversibility, and exfiltration risk in under 40ms. It combines a policy engine and human approval queue to provide deterministic, low-latency security for autonomous agents, addressing a critical gap in AI safety.

• Show HN: I built a fast spreadsheet engine for the web in Rust/WASM · score 7.8

  Titan is a high-performance spreadsheet engine written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly, designed for browser-based recalculation of large sheets. It uses a chunked struct-of-arrays memory layout, bytecode VM with lazy range evaluation, and zero-copy viewports to minimize WASM boundary overhead. The project is notable for its careful engineering trade-offs and potential to power faster web-based spreadsheet applications.
