yggdrasil_ai··on Today I am launching Yggdrasil, the most advanced AGI interface on the planet
As I said on the full launch post, I believe LLM's to be quite random. AGI stands for Artificial Gacha Interface, it's a very useful slot machine, very apparent in image generation for example!

Yggdrasil is honestly a product of frustration. After waiting almost a year for something more advanced than linear chat interfaces, I decided to build it myself.

My primary belief is that LLM's are better at augmenting humans than replacing them. They are incredible tools for learning and planning given the right interface.

Yggdrasil started as just a chat interface, with the main focus on enhanced branching, to emulate the natural process of human problem solving. But as I developed it more, I ended up adding my own custom agent harness called Valkyrie.

Turns out, chat + agent interface is much more productive than either alone.

Yggdrasil is still in very active development, and I am the only person working on it so I would love for everyone to give it a go and try it out!

Currently we are offering limited free usage to everyone can experience what Yggdrasil offers, its hard to convey without using it.

Yggdrasil is available as a desktop app (linux, windows [wsl supported] and mac) and on the web.

> If you can describe why it is slop, an AI can probably identify the underlying issues automatically

I would argue against this. Most of the time the things we find in review are due to extra considerations, often business, architectural etc, things which the AI doesn't have context of and it is quite bothersome to provide this context.

yggdrasil_ai··on Who needs Git when you have 1M context windows?
Browsing that repo is a bit trippy after being used to my own all this time haha.
yggdrasil_ai··on Who needs Git when you have 1M context windows?
If you sent the python file to Gemini, wouldn't it be in your database for the chat? I don't think relying on uncertain context window is even needed here!

A big goal while developing Yggdrasil was for it to act as long term documentation for scenarios like you describe!

As LLM use increases, I imagine each dev generating so much more data than before, our plans, considerations, knowledge have almost been moved partially into the LLM's we use!

You can check out my project on git, still in early and active development - https://github.com/zayr0-9/Yggdrasil

yggdrasil_ai··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)
I have been building https://github.com/zayr0-9/Yggdrasil

It started as a solution to LLM front ends having terrible native branching features. But slowly I realize most of our data will be going through LLM's so Yggdrasil is evolving into a platform which consumes all your LLM queries, while keeping it easy to query and reference.

And now I have begun to realize how detrimental LLM assisted coding can be to someone who starts depending on it too much, so Yggdrasil is a bet in the other direction as compared to mainstream. Instead of agents/AI doing everything I believe human + ai assistance will win in the end.

Yggdrasil has a simple agent called Valkyrie, so they have their place, but that I believe should be the last step, after the developer has discussed and planned thoroughly through our tree interface, Heimdall.

And if someone replaces the dev, they can browse their conversations with the LLM, observe their mind map, what questions they asked, what extra things they considered (branches), the whole thought process easily navigable and visible.

Personally after using Yggdrasil, I feel quite confident in using the LLM, as I can ask all the silly questions I want, without worrying about context pollution. It aligns really well with the natural exploratory tangential thoughts we have when trying to find solutions or learn something.

yggdrasil_ai··on The AI coding trap
Self disciplined humans are far and few between, that seems to be the point of most of these anti-ai articles, and I tend to agree with them.

I went back and had another look at my implementation, and got it to work. Sorry I was mistaken!
yggdrasil_ai··on Context is the bottleneck for coding agents now
>extension to transformers that can focus the attention on just the relevant context.

That is what transformers attention does in the first place, so you would just be stacking two transformers.

yggdrasil_ai··on Context is the bottleneck for coding agents now
I have been building Yggdrasil for that exact purpose - https://github.com/zayr0-9/Yggdrasil
yggdrasil_ai··on Ollama Web Search
I wish they would instead focus on local tool use. I could just use my own web search via brave api.
yggdrasil_ai··on Ollama Web Search
I don't think ollama officially supports any proper tool use via api.
yggdrasil_ai··on Helium Browser
I am happy using brave after disabling most of their own features. Any reason I should give this a go?
yggdrasil_ai··on Linux phones are more important now than ever
It would be so much easier to build apps if phones just ran linux, unless I am misunderstanding something? I would love to run my own server on my phone def.
