I wonder if this is a viable idea for someone to start as a small company. What makes me hesitant is that, first, it looks like this already exists in several wireless and non-wireless routers (like the GL.iNet Flint or OpenWrt One), and second, I assume hackers would just make their own. I have been flashing DD-WRT to my routers for many years. My current setup is an Archer C9 that connects via cable to an Archer C8, which then wirelessly bridges to an R7000. All of them run DD-WRT. If I had "fun money," I would buy a low-power SFF PC with dual NICs, run OPNsense or OpenWrt, and use the wireless routers strictly as access points. Since I don't have that much to spend, I look for older DD-WRT friendly routers, usually under $30, on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace, and flash them myself. I see that Ubiquiti and MikroTik make quality routers with proprietary OSes for around $65 new. Protectli and Netgate offer pfSense routers starting at $259.00. The GL.iNet Flint 2 is $169.00, and the OpenWrt One is $89. According to ResellBot (because eBay now requires a login to see sold listings with prices), the sold "DD-WRT Routers" generally go for under $160. These include the WRT3200ACM, Netgear AC1750, Linksys EA9300, and Linksys R7350. When I asked an AI how I would go about judging interest, building, raising funds, and manufacturing, it seems doable but expensive (said $125,000 minimum in total m | AI capabilities and trust | Ask HN: Do you want a router that has DD-WRT pre-installed? | View row | ||||

We build sandboxes for running AI agents at under 10% of the cost of most sandbox providers. Our customers spend an average of $0.37/month per sandbox. You can view a video walkthrough of the product here: https://youtu.be/DK5ISR2tbNo We started as one of those OpenClaw wrapper companies back in February (yup.. judge me). In time we added more and more harnesses. One of the goals I had at the time was to offer a free plan to users, so as to gain more market share. But it was too cost prohibitive to do it right away. Especially since we were bootstrapped and servers were running on my savings. Today we’re actually able to offer the free plan thanks to the optimizations we’ve made since. Over 90% of the new signups we have are just free plan users and they host their personal Hermes/Openclaw/Claude Code etc on our cloud. Our infrastructure cost for the free sandboxes averages around $0.05 to $0.10 per user per month. Here are some techniques that have worked for lowering cost: * When you look at agent harnesses, they have certain patterns in the way they consume CPU and RAM. They need CPU in bursts when they’re initializing or performing certain tasks, but beyond that, they’re often not peaking. They need more RAM for things like browser and computer-use tasks. Once the task is done, usage often comes back down. This is a key insight in lowering cost, so by efficiently managing the CPU/RAM utilization we could lower the | Adaptive assistants and automation | Launch HN: Agent37 (YC F26) – Low-cost agent sandboxes for running agents | View row | ||||

Data pipeline
How Jsonify collects this data
Jason, Jsonify's AI data engineer, built this pipeline from a plain-language brief. It runs the same steps every time: read the sources, extract the fields, check every row, publish the dataset. When a source changes and a step fails, Jason diagnoses the failure, repairs the pipeline and verifies a sample before it resumes, so the dataset keeps its shape without anyone babysitting it.
