last30days-skill is an AI agent skill that aggregates, deduplicates, and synthesizes recent discussions about any topic from Reddit, X/Twitter, YouTube, Hacker News, Polymarket, Bluesky, TikTok, and Instagram simultaneously. The core value proposition: instead of manually searching eight platforms and stitching together what people are actually saying, you ask once and get a grounded summary with citations ranked by engagement and cross-platform convergence. The ranking system is unusually sophisticated for a community project—it combines text similarity, engagement velocity, source authority, and cross-platform convergence detection (penalizing topics that only appear on one platform). For prediction markets, it evaluates topics as outcomes within broader events rather than naive title matching. A handle resolution feature identifies X/Twitter accounts from natural language names alone. Zero configuration is needed for Reddit, HN, and Polymarket; unlocking other sources requires API keys from ScrapeCreators and Exa. The project reached 18k stars in its first week, largely driven by prompt researchers discovering it surfaces "what actually works" for tools like ChatGPT or Midjourney. Results auto-save to ~/Documents/Last30Days/ by default, and a watchlist mode supports scheduled topic monitoring with an external cron scheduler.

OpenMythos
Open-source PyTorch reconstruction of Claude Mythos — 770M matches 1.3B performance

OpenMythos is an independent open-source effort to reconstruct the architectural innovations behind Anthropic's Claude Mythos model family, implemented in PyTorch and released under a permissive license. The headline claim: their 770M-parameter model matches the benchmark performance of standard 1.3B transformer architectures — a 40%+ parameter efficiency gain derived from their interpretation of the Mythos architectural improvements. The project focuses specifically on the structural innovations that make Mythos unusually efficient: the sparse attention mechanisms, context compression techniques, and routing strategies that allow the model to handle long-context tasks without proportional compute scaling. The team has published ablation studies showing which components drive the efficiency gains. This lands in the middle of growing open-source reverse engineering of proprietary model architectures, a trend that has previously produced projects like LLaMA reconstructions and Mamba implementations. For researchers without Anthropic API budgets, OpenMythos could become a useful local proxy for Mythos-style tasks — especially given that Claude Mythos capabilities are now central to Anthropic's commercial offering.
Reviewer scorecard
“The cross-platform convergence scoring is clever—topics that only trend on one platform get penalized, which filters out astroturfing and PR-driven hype. The handle resolution for X accounts is a nice touch for competitive intelligence workflows where you know a person's name but not their handle.”
“A 770M model that matches 1.3B performance is meaningfully useful for edge deployment and local inference. Even if the efficiency claims hold up at only 80%, this is worth benchmarking against your specific tasks before committing to cloud API spend.”
“Most of the headline platforms require paid API keys from ScrapeCreators to actually work, so the 'zero-config' claim is misleading—you get Reddit and HN out of the box, which is not exactly a revelation. The 18k stars look suspiciously like another viral GitHub moment that won't translate to sustained usage.”
“The efficiency claim needs independent verification badly — 'matches 1.3B performance' on whose benchmarks, with what tasks? Architectural reconstructions of proprietary models often cherry-pick favorable comparisons. And there's a real question about IP exposure if you ship products built on a reversed-engineered Anthropic architecture.”
“The watchlist mode with scheduled monitoring is the feature that turns this from a one-off research tool into genuine trend intelligence infrastructure. As public discourse increasingly happens in fragmented, platform-specific bubbles, multi-source aggregation with convergence detection becomes essential signal.”
“Open reconstruction of frontier architectures is how ML progress diffuses through the research community. Every major architecture innovation — attention, RLHF, MoE — became broadly available because researchers reverse-engineered and published it. Mythos efficiency techniques becoming open will accelerate the whole field.”
“For content creators trying to find what's actually resonating versus what's being pushed, the engagement velocity scoring is invaluable. Knowing that a prompt technique has 1000 upvotes spread over a week versus 1000 upvotes in 2 hours tells you completely different things about audience authenticity.”
“For studios and creative teams that want to run AI pipelines locally without cloud costs, a 770M model with 1.3B-level quality on writing and summarization tasks would be legitimately game-changing. The VRAM requirements alone make this worth testing.”
