Show HN: Hegelion-Dialectic Harness for LLMs (Thesis –> Antithesis –> Synthesis)
- hunterbown 11mo agoHey HN! Here's Hegelion -- applying Hegelian dialecticism to push LLMs to construct stronger arguments. The motivation I think is pretty obvious -- most LLM answers are confident first drafts. They rarely surface their own contradictions or explore serious alternatives. Hegelion wraps any backend and makes it do three passes: Thesis – initial answer. Antithesis – targeted self-critique: contradictions, missing cases, bad assumptions. Synthesis – a reconciled, more defensible position. The JSON output is designed for researchers and eval work. Each run includes: contradictions: itemized weaknesses the model identified in its own reasoning. research_proposals: testable hypotheses or follow-up questions from the synthesis. metadata: timings, backend info, prompt hashes, etc. Repo includes a CLI + Python API, MCP server for multiple backends, & hegelion-bench tool for basic model comparison Repo: https://github.com/Hmbown/Hegelion https://github.com/Hmbown/Hegelion I'm the creator (hmbown). Curious to hear if this is useful for your own work.
- yodon 11mo agoInteresting! Does "write your tests first" have any parallel in Hegelian approaches?
- hunterbown 11mo agothank you Probably not but it did allow me to take this as great feedback!
