## What People Shipped
*Community builds, ships, and earnings — the T1 gold.*

**Open-Source Local LLM Training Tool (for consumer hardware)** `(id 2315, T1)`
Train/fine-tune local models on consumer GPUs. Install and run today.
→ *Do: install it. Run on your hardware.*

**I Used AI To Sell 10 Websites This Week** `(id 2648, T1)`
A developer shipped 10 client sites with AI help. Concrete paid outcome.
→ *Learn: what actually closed deals.*

**Show HN: I RL-trained an agent that trains models with RL (~$1.3k)** `(id 2461, T1)`
Full build under a hard cost ceiling. Money spent, artifact shipped.
→ *Do: replicate the $1.3k training loop.*

---

## Benchmarks & Builds
*Real numbers, real methods.*

**I benchmarked 15 "E-Waste" GPUs with Modern Workloads** `(id 1969, T4)`
Cheap-hardware numbers a home-lab operator can compare against.
→ *Do: benchmark your junk-drawer GPUs.*

**GPUHedge: serverless GPU hedging drops cold-start p95 117s → 30s** `(id 2438, T4)`
Measured latency win with a concrete method.
→ *Do: steal the hedging pattern for your GPU jobs.*

**New LLM Coordination Benchmark — Multi-Agent Coordination** `(id 2441, T4)`
A real benchmark with a method.
→ *Do: run it against your own multi-agent setup.*

---

## Problem Solved
*Transferable lessons from the field.*

**Structured output reliability with LLMs — 3-month production learnings** `(id 2656, T5)`
What held up, what broke, over 90 days of prod.
→ *Do: apply the reliability pattern to your agents.*

**The absolute nightmare of putting AI agents into actual production** `(id 2645, T5)`
What breaks when agents hit prod. A lesson, not a feature.
→ *Do: pre-empt the failure modes.*

---

## Worth Trying Tonight (highlight)
1. **Install the Open-Source Local LLM Training Tool** `(id 2315)` — highest-signal build this window.
2. **Replicate the $1.3k RL-trained agent** `(id 2461)` — capped cost, full artifact.

## Editorial notes
- 8 of 18 reviewed → ~44% of this curated window. The 10 rejects were: PalmClaw (2627), Jacquard (2222), BillAI Bass (2463), NN-in-SQL (2226), Agent-identity (2314), CoT scaling-trap (2444), Upgrade-path (1982), Ford-350 (2649), Codex-encrypt (2157), Ghostcommit (2327).
- Calibration locked: the editor (you) is stricter than the algorithm. Real build / real measurement / real outcome / real lesson — or it scrolls.
- Age: stories ingested Jul 13–14. Not "today," but none were previously posted (recency guard clear). Suitable for a 48h edition.

## Deployment note (BLOCKER — not silently worked around)
The live webroot is served by `render_site.py` / `propagate_stack_now.py`, which output the **legacy "Athena AI News — Clickability"** product. They rank by virality and **ignore** `manual_section`/`manual_tier`, so pushing now would either drop these 8 or bury them in a feed that contradicts the aiND brand. Three webroots exist (preprod1/2/3), target unconfirmed.
**Next step requires a decision:** build a minimal aiND renderer that reads `manual_section`/`manual_tier` and emits the sections above (separate from the clickability product), OR confirm the intended webroot. Nothing was pushed to any webroot.
