Show HN: Reladraw – A diagram language where you decide where to place things

2026-09-26 @ 17:10:40Points: 259Comments: 75

I wanted to have the benefits of both, where you can define a diagram in a diagram language, but also retain a high degree of control over what the diagram looks like.

I also wanted this to work well for humans and agents.

On the Github link, there's a playground where you can try it out without installation. There's also instructions for a simple npm install and for installing a skill you can use with Claude or other agents.

Turning GLM-5.3-Flash into a Jev-like decision model

2026-09-26 @ 15:49:04Points: 78Comments: 28

The core idea is to craft the input prompt so that the first output token answers the question. This makes it possible to get a decision with a single forward pass.

In the blog post, we describe the approach in detail for GLM-5.3-Flash and vLLM. We benchmark this setup against Jev and Laya. We find that our setup is on-par with Jev in terms of accuracy and speed and that it substantially outperforms Laya.

Still, in terms of costs per decision, Jev is several x better than our setup. In turn, our setup supports vision inputs.
