Sup AI is an ensemble AI assistant that runs your query through 339 language models simultaneously, measures per-segment confidence across all responses, and synthesizes a final answer that amplifies agreement and suppresses likely hallucinations. The team claims a 52.15% score on Humanity's Last Exam (HLE) — 7.41 percentage points above the single best model — which, if verified, would make it the highest-scoring system on the benchmark to date. The underlying mechanism works like an LLM panel: each model votes on sub-claims within the response, confidence is estimated by agreement density, and the final output surfaces high-confidence segments while flagging uncertain ones. It's designed to reduce hallucination rate on factual tasks, not improve reasoning per se — the models in the ensemble aren't doing collaborative chain-of-thought, they're voting on outputs. Sup AI was built by Ken Mueller (Stanford, CEO) and Scott Mueller (AI Research Scientist) and launched on Product Hunt today. Pricing starts with $10 in free credits, no auto-charge, with a credit card required to start. The HLE benchmark claim is the headline and will face scrutiny — if verified, this is a meaningful research result. If it's cherry-picked, it's still a usable product with a differentiated architecture.

TrendRadar (v6.6.1) is an AI-driven public opinion and trend monitoring system that aggregates multi-platform news feeds, RSS sources, and social signals with AI-powered smart filtering, sentiment insights, trend prediction, and multi-channel notifications. It supports WeChat, Telegram, Slack, email, ntfy, and Bark for alerts. The v6.6.0 update added a major new feature: MCP integration that lets AI agents query trend data conversationally without writing any custom integration code. The system uses LiteLLM for unified model support across OpenAI, DeepSeek, Gemini, Claude, and other providers, making it model-agnostic. Recent updates added browser-based HTML reports with dark mode, real-time search within reports, and 30-second Docker deployment. It has accumulated 54,000+ GitHub stars and continues to trend as MCP tooling becomes the standard for AI agent integrations. For competitive intelligence teams, researchers, and developers who need to monitor a domain and surface signal from noise, TrendRadar's combination of broad source aggregation, AI filtering, and now native MCP support makes it a practical daily driver. The MCP integration means it slots directly into agent workflows — an agent can ask "what's trending in quantum computing this week" and get a structured answer from your monitored feeds.
Reviewer scorecard
“The HLE claim needs independent verification, but the underlying ensemble approach is architecturally sound for factual Q&A tasks. Running 339 models is expensive — pricing will be the gating factor for production use. The $10 free credit is a fair trial.”
“The MCP integration is the v6.6 unlock that makes TrendRadar genuinely agent-native. Querying curated trend data conversationally without writing integration code is exactly what agentic workflows need. 54k stars says the core monitoring functionality is solid — this is a battle-tested tool that's now been MCP-ified, not a new experiment.”
“Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. A 7.41 point jump on HLE via ensembling — without publishing methodology — smells like benchmark gaming. The latency of running 339 models in parallel is also a real concern for anything other than async research tasks.”
“TrendRadar is fundamentally as good as its source configuration — garbage feeds in, garbage trends out. AI 'smart filtering' is still imprecise for niche domains without significant prompt tuning. If you need real competitive intelligence for a B2B vertical, you'll spend considerable time configuring and calibrating sources before getting reliable signal. The out-of-box setup is mostly consumer news feeds.”
“Model ensembling is an underexplored direction in the race to reduce hallucination. If Sup AI's approach scales, it could be more durable than fine-tuning individual models — you get the wisdom of the crowd across model families, training data, and architectures simultaneously.”
“MCP is rapidly becoming the connective tissue of AI agent stacks, and tools with good MCP interfaces become ambient infrastructure for agents rather than just human-facing dashboards. TrendRadar's MCP bot enables a class of agent workflows — monitor a space, detect a signal, take an action — that previously required bespoke integration work. This is a building block for autonomous research agents.”
“For creative work, ensemble outputs tend to regress toward the mean — you get the most-agreed-upon version of something, which is usually the least interesting version. This is a tool for factual accuracy, not creativity. I'd stick with a single strong model for writing.”
“For creators tracking trends across niches to identify content opportunities, TrendRadar's aggregation plus AI filtering is a significant time-saver over manually monitoring dozens of feeds. The HTML reports with dark mode and real-time search make the output actually useful for review, not just a firehose of raw items.”
