Perplexity Labs▲638We built a search engine interface on top of OpenAI GPT 3.5 and Microsoft Bing that summarizes and cites top search results in response to natural language questions. By using search results, the AI is able to reference recent news and provide citations for specific facts. Our interface offers concise answers, without having to click through links, scroll past irrelevant content, or read ads. No login is required; no personal data is collected. We believe in the power of combining the intuitive UI of web search with the intelligence of large language models. The search engine does indexing…

A few months ago, I benchmarked FastAPI on an i9 MacBook Pro. I couldn't believe my eyes. A primary REST endpoint to `sum` two integers took 6 milliseconds to evaluate. It is okay if you are targeting a server in another city, but it should be less when your client and server apps are running on the same machine. FastAPI would have bottleneck-ed the inference of our lightweight UForm neural networks recently trending on HN under the title "Beating OpenAI CLIP with 100x less data and compute". (Thank you all for the kind words!) So I wrote another library. It has been a while since I have…

A few years ago, right after high school, I decided to try to make a simultaneous translation app for Android as a side project, it took longer than expected (about 2 years) and I had to make a lot of compromises (I had to use Google's API and therefore make users use a developer key because at the time there were no free solutions for speech recognition and translation that had good quality). At the end of university, I decided to pick it up again and finally, using OpenAi's Whisper for speech recognition and Meta's NLLB for translation (with both running locally on the phone), I managed to…

I recently built a small open-source tool to benchmark different LLM API endpoints — including OpenAI, Claude, and self-hosted models (like llama.cpp). It runs a configurable number of test requests and reports two key metrics: • First-token latency (ms): How long it takes for the first token to appear • Output speed (tokens/sec): Overall output fluency Demo: https://llmapitest.com/ Code: https://github.com/qjr87/llm-api-test The goal is to provide a simple, visual, and reproducible way to evaluate performance across different LLM providers, including…

we have been building an open source orchestration which enables you to plug in your own TTS/ASR/LLM for end-to-end voice conversations at -> https://github.com/bolna-ai/bolna. Few days back, was having a discussion here in HN about the possibilities of having a complete open source stack for ASR+LLM+TTS. Today, we are releasing a complete open sourced Dockerized stack by merging Bolna with Whisper ASR, Llama3 and Melo TTS.

I built a browser app for recording calls and turning them into transcripts/summaries without inviting a meeting bot. The current version is BYOK: you provide an OpenAI API key, stored locally in your browser. Recordings/projects stay in browser storage; selected audio/transcript text is sent to OpenAI only when you run transcription/summary. I am testing whether the wedge is real: no bot in the meeting, no SaaS workspace for recordings, summaries/exports afterward. I would appreciate feedback on the trust boundary and whether BYOK is acceptable for a first version.…

api2ai parses OpenAPI Spec to generate an agent that can make API calls. For context, I recently need to explore a handful of API suites and thought LLMs can help expedite this process. After some digging, I found OpenAPI Specs are perfect fit for function calling. Based on a text prompt, api2ai can select the right endpoint and properly parse request params and make api calls. It also handles authentication, currently it supports basic auth, api keys, and bearer token schemes. The tool has helped me explore and see APIs in action without a deep dive into the docs or using postman. It’s open…

Hey HN! I'm open-sourcing a little weekend side project. It's a terminal UI that generates parsers for webpages using AI, and a library that runs these parsers while you browse (it connects to Chrome over CDP). You can parse Twitter, LinkedIn, and HN posts and they get saved to a DuckDB database, so you can query them later. Contributions welcome! I wrote a bit more about it here: https://0thernet.substack.com/p/memo-2-selectron

Hi HN! Since the launch of JigsawStack.com, we've been trying to dive deeper into fully managed AI APIs built and fine tuned for specific use cases. Audio/video transcription was one of the more basic things and we wanted the best open source model at this point it is OpenAI's whisper large v3 model based on the number of languages it supports and its accuracy. The thing is, the model is huge and requires tons of GPU power for it to run efficiently at scale. Even OpenAI doesn't provide an API for their best transcription model while only providing whisper v2 at a pretty high price. I…
