# Hacker News — evidence index

Compact evidence trail for the Hacker News connector (`hackernews-1`, LLM-agent topics). Synthesis lives on `/themes.md`, `/commitments.md`, etc.; this page only records ingestion coverage and notable items.

## Connector

- **Instance:** `hackernews-1` (Hacker News — LLM agent + life-science/AI tools topics)
- **Backend:** public HN feeds (`top`, `new`, `best`) + Algolia HN search queries
- **Auth:** none — public feeds
- **Window:** last 24 hours
- **Latest fetch:** `2026-07-16T08:21:18Z`
- **Raw dump:** `~/.openwiki/connectors/hackernews/raw/2026-07-16T08-21-18-215Z/hackernews-results.json`

## Ingestion coverage

| Source | Items pulled |
| --- | --- |
| Feed: `top` | 30 |
| Feed: `new` | 30 |
| Feed: `best` | 30 |
| Search queries | 17 queries — see hit table below |

### Search query hits (this run)

Queries were pulled from `~/.openwiki/connectors/hackernews/config.json`. The first
column is the Algolia `nbHits` (total matching stories in HN's index), the rest is
a relevance judgment based on the first 20 returned items.

| Query | nbHits | Relevant? | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `organoid` | 176 | yes — multi-source | MIT, NPR, MIT Tech Review, MSU, UCSC, McGill, etc. |
| `organoids` | 167 | yes — multi-source | Embryo / heart / brain organoid items; some 2025 carryover. |
| `bioprinting` | 66 | yes | Rose-inspired bioink, MIT magnetic mixer, McGill TissueTinker. |
| `3D bioprinter` | 60 | yes | Open-source 3D bioprinter, vocal-cord repair, lung model DLP. |
| `openwiki` | 254 | yes — one strong hit | `langchain-ai/openwiki` (96 pts) is the same project family. |
| `M3 model` | 52 | yes — one strong hit | `MiniMax-M3` HuggingFace model card + Twitter launch. |
| `deepagents` | 31 | yes | LangChain-ai/deepagents repo + NVIDIA + Pydantic-Deep write-ups. |
| `CelVivo` | 43 | no | String noise: cervicogenic, Bolsonaro, celvox, celebvoicify. |
| `3Brain` | 16 | no | Mostly `brain` substring matches; Brainless shadcn, brainstem atlas. |
| `Cellink` | 19 | no | String noise: ink/agents/avatars. No Cellink bioprinter hits. |
| `ClinoStar` | 2 | no | Unrelated (Start menu, Erlang webmachine). |
| `ClinoReactor` | 0 | n/a | No hits. |
| `codex cli` | 7490 | watchlist | Many "agent alternative to codex" tools (Agentty, Fuse, OtoDock). |
| `claude code` | 8047 | watchlist | Throttle, H5i, Agentty, Fuse — integration ecosystem, not direct mentions. |
| `local LLM` | 2804 | watchlist | Mix of Trellis2.c, LHIC, PixFinder, trollbridge — mostly unrelated. |
| `ollama` | 1232 | watchlist | Goku, Hillnote, OtoDock — downstream tooling. |
| `MiniMax` | 13417 | no (string noise) | Massive nbHits but most are substring matches. M3 query is the cleaner signal. |

Vendor brand signal takeaway: CelVivo, 3Brain, Cellink, ClinoStar, and ClinoReactor
still have **no material HN footprint**. Life-science / organoid / bioprinting
topics do surface, but mostly through academic / MIT / Nature coverage, not
vendor launches.

## Notable items by theme

Items below are filtered from the 90 feed items (top + new + best) plus
relevant search-query hits. Each line: HN id, score, feed(s), one-line gist,
URL. HN ids are stable, so items stay referenceable across runs.

## OpenWiki brand signal

Search query `openwiki` returned 254 nbHits in the 24h window. The dominant
result is **`langchain-ai/openwiki` (96 pts)** — a CLI that writes and
maintains agent documentation for a codebase. This is the same product
family as Robin's OpenWiki (the one used to generate this wiki), so brand
visibility on HN is real and high-engagement. Adjacent items:

- `barvhaim/pi-openwiki` — a Show HN wrapper combining OpenWiki with the PI.dev harness.
- `sonyarianto/wakawiki` — a CLI for agent docs.
- `openwisp.org` post on AI-driven flaky-test hunting, not actually related.

The `openwiki` query also catches unrelated items (e.g. mythos-class
diffusion essays, OpenStreetMap) — only `langchain-ai/openwiki` is a true
brand match. Track across future runs.

  - "Smallest 3D bioprinter could help surgeons repair vocal cords" — Nature. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-03538-y

Signal: organoid / 3D bioprinting is a real recurring stream on HN, but driven
by academic and bio-Mech-E coverage, not by CelVivo / 3Brain / Cellink launches.
None of Robin's vendor brands appear in the top 20 of any related query.

### MiniMax-m3 (watchlist)

New in this run. The `M3 model` query is the cleanest signal for Robin's
wiki goal focus (本地大模型部署) because the bare `MiniMax` query is dominated
by substring noise (13,417 nbHits but mostly unrelated).

- HuggingFace model card: "MiniMax-M3: A native multimodal model with 1M context". https://huggingface.co/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3
- Twitter launch post: "MiniMax M3: The First Open-Weights Model to Combine Three Frontier Capabilities" (21 pts). https://twitter.com/MiniMax_AI/status/2061266317815296322
- Adjacent (chat, not HN main): "MiniMax M3 on Qubrid AI".
- "Ask HN: Which cheap Chinese LLM are you using?" (18 pts) — recurring thread where M3-family models are mentioned.

Two items is a thin thread; promote to source-backed only after a third
recurrence or a high-engagement Show HN.
