Show HN: V0.7.3 Update: Dive, an Open Source MCP Agent Desktop

Tue, 04/01/2025 - 2:10am

Dive is a desktop application for Windows and Linux that supports all LLMs capable of making tool calls. It is currently the easiest way to install MCP Server. Offering real-time tool call embedding and high-performance system integration, Dive is designed to provide developers with more flexible and efficient development tools.

0.6.0 → 0.7.3 Update Summary

1. Multi-Model Support & Switching

Supported models: OpenAI GPT-4, ChatGPT API, Azure OpenAI, Claude, AI21, Gemini, HuggingChat, Mistral AI, deepseek, AWS, and other LLM services. Custom models are also supported.

Multi-model Switching: Switch between multiple MCP Servers. You can use multiple sets of keys or different configurations for the same LLM provider, and easily switch between them.

2. User Experience & Performance Optimization

Editable Messages: Modify messages that have already been sent.

Regenerate Responses: Supports regenerating AI responses. Auto Updates: Now supports automatic updates to the latest version.

Interface and Operation Enhancements: Collapsible tool_calls and tool_result sections; pressing ESC while the sidebar is open will prioritize closing the sidebar instead of interrupting AI responses.

API Key Configuration Improvements: Displays error messages in red for incorrect inputs, and error messages disappear automatically when switching providers.

MCP Server Default Example Optimizations: The echo example has been updated from CJS format to ESM, reducing file size. Background Operation and Auto-Start: The app can be minimized to the background and supports auto-start on boot.

Just curious on how I can start into guidance system on simulation software. Since I am deeply interested in graphics and simulation, I thought it would be a fun endeavor to try and understand how these systems work.

What are the sources I can learn this from?

Show HN: Duolingo-style exercises but with real-world content like the news

Tue, 04/01/2025 - 1:46am

I've been working on a little side project that combines Duolingo-like listening comprehension exercises with real content .

Every video is transcribed to get much better transcripts than the closed captions. I filter on high quality transcripts, and afterwards a LLM selects only plausible segments for the exercises. This seems to work well for quality control and seems to be reliable enough for these short exercises.

Would love your thoughts!
