We show the potential of modern, embedded graph databases in the browser by demonstrating a fully in-browser chatbot that can perform Graph RAG using Kuzu (the graph database we're building) and WebLLM, a popular in-browser inference engine for LLMs. The post retrieves from the graph via a Text-to-Cypher pipeline that translates a user question into a Cypher query, and the LLM uses the retrieved results to synthesize a response. As LLMs get better, and WebGPU and Wasm64 become more widely adopted, we expect to be able to do more and more in the browser in combination with LLMs, so a lot of…

Hey Hacker News! We are excited to share our open-source project, KTransformers, a flexible framework designed for cutting-edge LLM inference optimizations! Leveraging state-of-the-art kernels from llamafile and marlin, KTransformers seamlessly enhances the performance of HuggingFace Transformers, making it possible to operate large 236B MoE models or extremely long 1M context locally with promising speed. KTransformers is a Python-centric framework designed with extensibility at its core. By implementing and injecting an optimized module with a single line of code, users gain access to a…

Hi HN, I built OpenGraviton, an open-source AI inference engine that pushes the limits of running extremely large LLMs on consumer hardware. By combining 1.58-bit ternary quantization, dynamic sparsity with Top-K pruning and MoE routing, and mmap-based layer streaming, OpenGraviton can run models far larger than your system RAM—even on a Mac Mini. Early benchmarks: TinyLlama-1.1B drops from ~2GB (FP16) to ~0.24GB with ternary quantization. At 140B scale, models that normally require ~280GB fit within ~35GB packed. Optimized for Apple Silicon with Metal + C++ tensor unpacking, plus…

Free, gamified roadmaps for LLM engineering: an Inference Engineering path (KV caches, CUDA kernels, production vLLM serving) and a Model Training path (pretraining on a budget, scaling laws, SFT/DPO/GRPO) — 185 tasks with auto-verified milestones instead of a paper certificate.

Hey folks, I’m the creator of WFGY — a semantic reasoning framework for LLMs. After open-sourcing it, I did a full technical and value audit — and realized this engine might be worth $8M–$17M based on AI module licensing norms. If embedded as part of a platform core, the valuation could exceed $30M. Too late to pull it back. So here it is — fully free, open-sourced under MIT. --- ### What does it solve? Current LLMs (even GPT-4+) lack *self-consistent reasoning*. They struggle with: - Fragmented logic across turns - No internal loopback or self-calibration - No modular thought units - Weak…
