FauxLM: a fake API for breaking your AI agent safely

fauxlm.com ↗ · Developer Corner · score 84.0
Open: public page gives enough substance to understand the site $Paid: pricing, booking, ecommerce, subscription, or paid access is visible ADAds: visible ad load or ad-supported content Pretty: notable design, copy, craft, or presentation Pro: polished, finished-feeling, serious, or operationally mature Niche: specific audience, workflow, or unusually focused use case Human: personal, local, community, civic, handmade, or real-person signal !Suspicious: scammy, spammy, trust theater, finance fog, or credibility concern

An offline, OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible mock server for testing LLM agents without real API calls, keys, or bills.

Why it surfaced

FauxLM turns expensive debugging into a local chaos test: it can deliberately trigger 429s, 500s, timeouts, broken JSON, and interrupted SSE streams. The memorable pitch is backed by a concrete promise—avoid the kind of agent loop that can burn $50–300 in ten minutes—and a $29 one-time Pro tier.

The Two-Tonne Temperature Problem

August 15’s newborn domains include a live-aboard hydrogen airship with a two-tonne lift problem, a Japanese toolbox that explains its assumptions, an advisory-by-advisory Hawaiʻi hurricane archive, and a wedding-gift game about ungrateful poultry.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-15 Domain Arrivals issue.
