Hey HN, At Mintplex Labs are building developer tools for AI applications. One area we encountered frustration was the use of Vector Databases like Pinecone, Chroma, QDrant, or Weaviate to "unlock" long-term memory and contextual answers. It is nearly impossible to manage this data when in use for production. The craziest thing was how you cannot atomically CRUD any vectors in most of these vector databases. Let alone easily copy, clone, or migrate data or entire indexes without paying for re-embedding - among other things. With VectorAdmin you get a database level UI with the ability to…

Disclaimer it is a heavily AI assisted project. The goal was not to be the most performative but the kind that's easier to learn from. I wanted to share this in case there are people who had the same idea or wanted to see something like this.

Hey HN! We’re Vikram and John, founders of ArdentAI (https://www.ardentai.io/). We built ArdentAI to tackle the pain points of data engineering—time-consuming pipelines, manual transformations, and error-prone debugging. With ArdentAI, you can automate these tasks up to 100x faster. What is it? ArdentAI is an AI Agent that connects directly to your databases and handles all the heavy lifting. Think of it as ChatGPT, but for your data infrastructure—it builds, syncs, transforms, and fixes errors for you. It doesn't just write code, it performs actions. Why ArdentAI? Data…

MyScale is designed for the storage and analysis of massive vector data with structured metadata. If you are eager to find a high-performance vector search using SQL queries, MyScale could be your preferred option. Thanks to the advantages of native structural database support, it provides you with a flexible filter with a WHERE clause, even JOIN when you want to jointly search vectors with filters on relevant metadata from other tables. MyScale is now open for registration and offers millions of vectors‘ free tier plan for you! (https://myscale.com/) Now you can also use…

Today we released an open, Valkey-native context layer for AI agents as part of our packages at BetterDB (agent memory, semantic + multi-tier caching, typed retrieval) that run on a Valkey instance no matter where it is - no vendor lock-in. We even started provisioning Valkey instances starting today. Packages are shipped on npm and PyPi. Why we made it: BetterDB originally started as a monitoring and observability platform for Valkey, Redis and any RESP compatible db. This is still the core of the product, but in the process of building this, we kept seeing that one of the fastest-growing…

Hey HN, we built an Econ+Finance database to let AI agents do investment research. We spend a lot of tokens to organize macro releases and SEC filings into a clean format, so that your agents have more context to do actual analysis. The problem AI agents are great at data analysis. But they become ineffective if most of their context window is spent on gathering and cleaning data, instead of validating hypotheses. Data in the wild is messy and rarely standardized. Definitions and measurements change over time. This problem is compounded by a fragmented data universe. Point solutions exist…

Hey Hacker News! Last week we made the codebase for product 100% open source. This week we shipped a dashboard to manage connectors, as well as integrations with Google Drive, Zendesk, Notion, and Confluence. This means Sidekick is now the fastest way to sync data from these tools to a vector database. Why is this important? For developers building LLM apps, data integrations are often the least interesting and most time consuming part of the process. For those that don’t want to roll their own ETL, Sidekick is an opinionated tool that lets them get an API endpoint to run semantic searches…

We’re excited to share ML-Dev-Bench, a new open-source benchmark that tests AI agents on real-world ML development tasks. Unlike typical coding challenges or Kaggle-style competitions, our benchmark simulates end-to-end ML workflows including: - Dataset handling and preprocessing - Debugging model and code failures - Implementing new model architectures - Fine-tuning and improving existing models With 30 diverse tasks, ML-Dev-Bench evaluates agents across critical stages of ML development. To complement this, we built Calipers, a framework that provides systematic performance evaluation and…

We’ve published a set of open-source reference implementations on how to build production-grade Agentic AI applications on AWS. What’s in the repo: • Agentic RAG, memory, and planning workflows with LangGraph & CrewAI • Strands-based flows with observability using OTEL & Arize • Evaluation with LLM-as-judge and cost/performance regressions • Built with Bedrock, S3, Step Functions, and more GitHub: https://github.com/aws-samples/sample-agentic-frameworks-on-... Would love your thoughts — feedback, issues, and stars welcome!
