About Bacon

Bacon is an ad network for AI coding tools. Install the plugin, see occasional clearly-labeled ads in your terminal, and earn a share of the revenue your attention makes. It's free, opt-in, and your prompt never leaves your machine, only a coarse intent signal does. > how do i add auth to this next.js app without rolling my own? Bacon just lets a few of them earn, and you decide how few. It's found money for work you were doing anyway, not a paycheck.

About Hydra, a local

Route to a target confidence of correctness, not just the cheapest model. Hydra samples models adaptively (SPRT), cuts AI API costs 70-85% along the way, and keeps sensitive data local. Hydra rides the cost/quality Pareto frontier, stops sampling the instant confidence clears the bar, and reads the code graph to know when a change is dangerous. A hub file with many transitive dependents is cascade-capable, so it demands more confidence. Every access an agent makes is recorded in a local, hash-chained ledger.
