Show HN: Laya guard – a local check before your coding agent runs a commandhttps://github.com/scs0209/laya-guard
HN, this is my first Show HN post, and I'm really nervous, I'm Ayaan, a Frontend Developer. laya-guard is a local check that occurs before any coding agent tool call, deciding whether to approve, send for review, or block the call.

Show HN: 4B VLM trained on 600k questions to query images in one passhttps://github.com/aditmag/dragonfly

Unlike a VLM that generates an answer to each question, Dragonfly reads the image once and scores every question in the same pass. Questions can't see each other, so each answer is the same as asking it alone, in any order. Instead of text outputs, Dragonfly answers with calibrated probabilities for the options you give it…
