Chain reaction: PromptFission is live
A new site for the AI projects, hacks, and tools people are actually building. Here is what we cover, and what we skip.
There is no shortage of AI news. Most of it is announcements about announcements: a funding round, a benchmark chart, a demo video with no code behind it.
The interesting part is happening somewhere else. It is in the repo someone pushed at midnight, the build log with photos of a soldering iron next to a GPU, the blog post that explains exactly where the agent fell over and why. That is the part we want to cover.
What you will find here
- Projects. Things people built, with a link to the code or the write-up so you can check our work.
- Hacks. Clever workarounds, strange integrations, and models running in places they were never meant to run.
- Tools. New releases worth your time, looked at from the point of view of someone who has to use them.
- News. Only when it changes what you can build.
What you will not
Hype. Valuation gossip. “This changes everything” threads. If a story has nothing you can inspect, run, or learn from, it is probably not for us.
About the name
Fission is what happens when one thing goes in, splits, and what comes out sets off the next reaction. That is how good projects spread. Somebody posts a build, somebody else reads it and thinks “wait, I could use that for…”, and a week later there are three more projects that did not exist before.
We would like to be the part where the neutron hits.
