New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: NCompass Technologies – yet another AI Inference API, but hear us out

Show HN: NCompass Technologies – yet another AI Inference API, but hear us out 4 by adiraja | 5 comments on Hacker News. Hello HackerNews! I’m excited to share what we’ve been working on at nCompass Technologies: an AI inference platform that gives you a scalable and reliable API to access any open-source AI model — with no rate limits. We don't have rate limits as optimizations we made to our AI model serving software enable us to support a high number of concurrent requests without degrading quality of service for you as a user. If you’re thinking, well aren’t there a bunch of these already? So were we when we started nCompass. When using other APIs, we found that they weren’t reliable enough to be able to use open source models in production environments. To resolve this, we're building an AI inference engine that enable you, as an end user, to reliably use open source models in production. Underlying this API, we’re building optimizations at the hosting, scheduling and k...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: I made the slowest, most expensive GPT

Show HN: I made the slowest, most expensive GPT 24 by wluk | 14 comments on Hacker News. This is another one of my automate-my-life projects - I'm constantly asking the same question to different AIs since there's always the hope of getting a better answer somewhere else. Maybe ChatGPT's answer is too short, so I ask Perplexity. But I realize that's hallucinated, so I try Gemini. That answer sounds right, but I cross-reference with Claude just to make sure. This doesn't really apply to math/coding (where o1 or Gemini can probably one-shot an excellent response), but more to online search, where information is more fluid and there's no "right" search engine + text restructuring + model combination every time. Even o1 doesn't have online search, so it's obviously a hard problem to solve. An example is something like "best ski resorts in the US", which will get a different response from every GPT, but most of their rankings won't ...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Gentrace – connect to your LLM app code and run/eval it from a UI

Show HN: Gentrace – connect to your LLM app code and run/eval it from a UI 7 by dsaffy | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN - Doug from Gentrace here. We originally launched via Show HN in August of 2023 as evaluation and observability for generative AI: https://ift.tt/9fHP2gM Since then, everyone from the model providers to LLM ops companies built a prompt playground. We had one too, until we realized this was totally the wrong approach: - It's not connected to your application code - They don't support all models - You have to rebuild evals for just this one prompt (can't use your end-to-end evals) In other words, it was a ton of work and time to use these to actually make your app better. So, we built a new experience and are relaunching around this idea: Gentrace is a collaborative LLM app testing and experimentation platform that brings together engineers, PMs, subject matter experts, and more to run and test your actual end-to-end app. To do this, use our SDK to: - ...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: I combined spaced repetition with emails so you can remember anything

Show HN: I combined spaced repetition with emails so you can remember anything 17 by iskrataa | 5 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, I am a student shipping apps in my free time. This is my 4th for the year! Non-fic books and podcasts have been part of my life for years now but I always struggled with remembering what I’ve read or listened to. I wanted it to stick even after years. My notes list grew large but I never really revisited them. That’s why I created GinkgoNotes. You can enter notes you want to recall and leave it to the app to create a personalised (based on spaced repetition) email schedule. That means you’ll get your notes emailed to you a couple of times exactly when you should read them again (based on Ebbinghaus's Forgetting Curve) so it’s certain that you’ll remember them. I hope this will be helpful as it was for me. Would love some feedback! Iskren
