Nano Banana 2▲416Hi HN — I’m an indie developer. I built Nano Banana 2 Playground, a simple web demo for generating images from text and transforming existing images (image-to-image). My goal was a fast, minimal UI that lets you iterate on prompts quickly and compare results without extra friction. I’d love feedback on: Prompt UX (what feels missing/confusing) Which controls/presets are actually useful How to communicate limitations and expected results clearly Thanks for taking a look — happy to answer questions and improve it based on your suggestions.

Deploying vision models is time consuming and tedious. Setting up dependencies. Fixing conflicts. Configuring TRT acceleration. Flashing (and re-flashing) NVIDIA Jetsons. A streamlined, developer-friendly solution for inference is needed. We, the Roboflow team, have been hard at work open sourcing Inference, an open source vision deployment solution. Our solution is designed with developers in mind, offering a HTTP-based interface. Run models on your hardware without having to write architecture-specific inference code. Here's a demo showing how to go from a model to GPU inference on a video…

I wanted to build an inference provider for proprietary AI models, but I did not have a huge GPU farm. I started experimenting with Serverless AI inference, but found out that coldstarts were huge. I went deep into the research and put together an engine that loads large models from SSD to VRAM up to ten times faster than alternatives. It works with vLLM, and transformers, and more coming soon. With this project you can hot-swap entire large models (32B) on demand. Its great for: Serverless AI Inference Robotics On Prem deployments Local Agents And Its open source. Let me know if anyone…

Private inference app that lets you see the token entropy, explore and change the token probabilities. Just released on macOS, iOS version next then other platforms. Here's a demo of it in action running DeepSeek Terminus: https://youtu.be/kts098EL2PQ Would love to hear any feedback or feature requests from the community.

Hi HN, I'm Paul from Tensordyne. We build AI inference systems and chips on logarithmic math. We've put together an interactive Token Economics Calculator to help make apples-to-apples comparisons of inference hardware across vendors: We're interested in how closely it lines up with the community's view of the market. Why we built this Investors and customers kept asking how our system compares to others (NVIDIA and a growing list of startups). Plenty of publicly available data exists, but it's scattered and inconsistent. News articles, provider sites, Artificial Analysis, MLCommons, and now…

Hey HN! Bob here, Founder and CEO of Salad (www.salad.com), a distributed cloud for AI inference at scale. *Why Salad?* Because there’s 400 Million consumer GPUs in the world (~100 Million AI-enabled RTX GPUS) and most of them lie unused for 18-22 hrs a day. These consumer GPUs offer similar or better cost-performance than high-end AI GPUs for many AI/ML use cases (Speech-to-text, batch jobs, text-to-image, computer vision to name a few). With Salad, we have activated this latent compute in everyday PCs to power AI/ML workloads. *How big is our network?* More than 1,900,000…

Nano Banana AI ▲10I built Nano Banana AI , a fast tool to edit existing images with text prompts. I made it because current tools felt slow and mostly focus on generating new images. This one is different: Image-to-image only — edit instead of generate. Fast — optimized inference on Gemini 2.5 Flash. Would love feedback on use cases or improvements.
