    Hello HN, I'm Ghita, co-founder of ZeroEntropy (YC W25). We build high accuracy search infrastructure for RAG and AI Agents. We just released two new state-of-the-art rerankers zerank-1, and zerank-1-small. One of them is fully open-source under Apache 2.0. We trained those models using a novel Elo score inspired pipeline which we describe in detail in the blog attached. In a nutshell, here is an outline of the training steps: * Collect soft preferences between pairs of documents using an ensemble of LLMs. * Fit an ELO-style rating system (Bradley-Terry) to turn pairwise comparisons into…

    Shmelo▲6

    Hey HN, I built Shmelo as a little break from work stuff. Its a simple leaderboard for games with friends: set it up fast, log games, share a public link. Works with any game as long as it has winners and losers. Rankings use elo system (like chess). it stays fair even if people miss a few sessions. You can also see how rankings change over time, and tap into more stats if you want. Feedback appreciated. Cheers!

    I've been playing chess for a few years with my ELO stuck around 1600 on Lichess. I wanted an app that combined puzzle training, interactive lessons, game analysis, and AI coaching in one place. But all the apps I used over the years either felt overwhelming, had UX that wasn't up to my expectations for a modern app or were lacking some fundamental features that I really wanted. So, I built LearnChess.ai. The technical angle I'm most excited about: it's built local-first using LiveStore (event-sourced, SQLite on-device), which means zero loading delays for user data and full offline support.…

    I built this because I got tired of Stockfish giving me evaluations (+0.5) without explaining the actual plan. Most opening explorers focus on statistics (Win/Loss/Draw). I wanted a tool that explains the strategic intent behind the moves (e.g., "White plays c4 to clamp down on d5" vs just "White plays c4"). The Project: Comprehensive Database: I’ve mapped and annotated over 3,500 named opening variations. It covers everything from main lines (Ruy Lopez, Sicilian) to deep sidelines. Strategic Visualization: The UI highlights key squares and draws arrows based on the textual…
