Hardinai··on Modyak – run Claude Code and Codex with any model from your Mac menu bar
When you have multiple AI models running together like this, how do you handle inter-agent trust? Does Claude verify Codex's identity before accepting its output?
Hardinai··on AI Agent API Grader
Interesting approach to grading agent APIs. Have you considered the trust layer between agents? Grading the API is one thing but verifying the agent calling it is who it claims to be is still an unsolved problem for most deployments.
Hardinai··on Easiest way to create agents with local LLMs
One thing missing from most local agent setups is identity verification between agents. How do you handle trust when one agent needs to verify another is legitimate before sharing data?
Hardinai··on The AI Governance Gap
This is exactly why we need trust infrastructure at the protocol level. Agent-to-agent identity verification is still unsolved - most deployments just assume the other agent is who it says it is.
Hardinai··on Show HN: Safety layer between AI agents and databases
Interesting timing - I've been working on something complementary to this. TBN Protocol focuses on the identity and trust layer between agents themselves (cryptographic certificates, verified handshakes) rather than the database layer. The two could work well together. What's your approach to agent identity verification?
