Show HN: Forge – Guardrails take an 8B model from 53% to 99% on agentic tasks

Hi HN, I'm Antoine Zambelli, AI Director at Texas Instruments. I built Forge, an open-source reliability layer for self-hosted LLM tool-calling. What it does: - Adds domain-and-tool-agnostic guardrails (retry nudges, step enforcement, error recovery, VRAM-aware context management) to local models running on consumer hardware - Takes an 8B model from ~53% to ~99% on multi-step agentic workflows without changing the model - just the system around it - Ships with an eval harness and interactive das

The mapping from prompt to image is non-injective — many different prompts produce nearly identical outputs, and some visual features in a generated image were never written explicitly in any prompt at all. There is no hidden string to extract. What CLIP Interrogator actuall
