GNU TeXmacs: your scientific text editor High quality mathematical typesetting Multiple language support Interfaces for computational software Integrated picture editor Integrated presentation mode And much more... GNU TeXmacs is a free scientific editing platform designed to create beautiful technical documents using a wysiwyg interface. It provides a unified and user friendly framework for editing structured documents with different types of content: text, mathematics, graphics, interactive content, slides, etc. TeXmacs can be used as a graphical front-end for many systems in computer algebra, numerical analysis, statistics, etc. Documents can be saved in TeXmacs, Xml or Scheme format and printed as Pdf or Postscript files. Converters exist for TeX/LaTeX and Html/Mathml. Notice that TeXmacs is not based on TeX/LaTeX. Its rendering engine uses high-quality typesetting algorithms so as to produce professionally looking documents, which can either be printed out or presented from a laptop. New styles can be written by the user and new features can be added to the editor using the Scheme extension language. Runs on all major Unix platforms, MacOS, and Windows. © 1999–2019 by Joris van der Hoeven

Show HN: OpenSwarm – Multi‑Agent Claude CLI Orchestrator for Linear/GitHub

I built OpenSwarm because I wanted an autonomous “AI dev team” that can actually plug into my real workflow instead of running toy tasks. OpenSwarm orchestrates multiple Claude Code CLI instances as agents to work on real Linear issues. It: • pulls issues from Linear and runs a Worker/Reviewer/Test/Documenter pipeline • uses LanceDB + multilingual-e5 embeddings for long‑term memory and context reuse • builds a simple code knowledge graph for impact analysis • exposes everything through a Discord bot (status, dispatch, scheduling, logs) • can auto‑iterate on existing PRs and monitor long‑running jobs Right now it’s powering my own solo dev workflow (trading infra, LLM tools, other projects). It’s still early, so there are rough edges and a lot of TODOs around safety, scaling, and better task decomposition. I’d love feedback on: • what feels missing for this to be useful to other teams • failure modes you’d be worried about in autonomous code agents • ideas for better memory/knowledge graph use in real‑world repos Repo: https://github.com/Intrect-io/OpenSwarm Happy to answer questions and hear brutal feedback.

Show HN: ZSE – Open-source LLM inference engine with 3.9s cold starts

I've been building ZSE (Z Server Engine) for the past few weeks — an open-source LLM inference engine focused on two things nobody has fully solved together: memory efficiency and fast cold starts. The problem I was trying to solve: Running a 32B model normally requires ~64 GB VRAM. Most developers don't have that. And even when quantization helps with memory, cold starts with bitsandbytes NF4 take 2+ minutes on first load and 45–120 seconds on warm restarts — which kills serverless and autoscaling use cases. What ZSE does differently: Fits 32B in 19.3 GB VRAM (70% reduction vs FP16) — runs on a single A100-40GB Fits 7B in 5.2 GB VRAM (63% reduction) — runs on consumer GPUs Native .zse pre-quantized format with memory-mapped weights: 3.9s cold start for 7B, 21.4s for 32B — vs 45s and 120s with bitsandbytes, ~30s for vLLM All benchmarks verified on Modal A100-80GB (Feb 2026) It ships with: OpenAI-compatible API server (drop-in replacement) Interactive CLI (zse serve, zse chat, zse convert, zse hardware) Web dashboard with real-time GPU monitoring Continuous batching (3.45× throughput) GGUF support via llama.cpp CPU fallback — works without a GPU Rate limiting, audit logging, API key auth Install: ----- pip install zllm-zse zse serve Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct For fast cold starts (one-time conversion): ----- zse convert Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct -o qwen-7b.zse zse serve qwen-7b.zse # 3.9s every time The cold start improvement comes from the .zse format storing pre-quantized weights as memory-mapped safetensors — no quantization step at load time, no weight conversion, just mmap + GPU transfer. On NVMe SSDs this gets under 4 seconds for 7B. On spinning HDDs it'll be slower. All code is real — no mock implementations. Built at Zyora Labs. Apache 2.0. Happy to answer questions about the quantization approach, the .zse format design, or the memory efficiency techniques.
