Ask HN: How are much smarter AI models made?

Hacker News - Fri, 09/11/2026 - 2:24pm

I am curious what actually happens between two generations of AI models.

For example, how do you go from Sonnet to Opus? Is Opus trained from scratch, built on Sonnet, or mostly the same model with more compute and training?

And how do models like Astra suddenly make a big jump in some capabilities? What is stopping Anthropic, Mistral, or others from doing the same thing? Is the main difference just more compute and money, or are there training methods, data, architecture, and research breakthroughs that competitors may not know about?

I can't think of a better place to ask this. I am guessing there are people here who actually work on these models and know what goes on behind the scenes.

Show HN: Minimal Static Website Hosting Tool

Hacker News - Fri, 09/11/2026 - 2:20pm

I built this because I self host a lot of stuff and wanted to simplify tossing up a simple static site with no backend, no NGINX/Caddy/Traffik configs, instantly deploy with a single file copy. Powered by Golang's built-in reverse proxy package.

Another awesome freebie is this is built on top of [Pocketbase](https://pocketbase.io/), so the whole app is API driven for free. This gives you some AI integration points off the bat.

Great for whipping up demos to pitch to clients, or quick and dirty temporary static sites to share with friends, family or coworkers.

Show HN: SyntheticAIdata – synthetic data for CV, 100k free credits/month

Hacker News - Fri, 09/11/2026 - 1:32pm

Hi HN, I'm Goran, founder of syntheticAIdata.

Collecting and labeling images for computer vision takes time, especially when you need specific objects, viewpoints, or conditions. We built syntheticAIdata to help developers generate those examples.

You can vary environments, camera angles, backgrounds, and distractors, and apply real-world camera simulations to generate automatically labeled images for your application.

Datasets can be downloaded or sent directly to Edge Impulse.

You can generate 100,000 images for free each month. Registration is required.

Try it out: https://app.syntheticaidata.com

I'd love to hear what you'd use it for and which controls or features you're missing.
