50+ LLMs on 2 GPUs with 2-Second Swapping? We built AI-Native Runtime

We've built InferX, a specialized runtime environment that fundamentally changes how LLMs are served. The core problem we solve is the latency bottleneck in AI inference, especially with large models. Current systems waste resources or suffer from painfully slow cold starts. InferX's AI-native architecture, with its "snapshot" technology, enables: * *Sub-2s cold starts:* Spin up models instantly. * *High density:* Serve more LLMs on the same GPUs. * *Optimal efficiency:* Maximize GPU utilization. This isn't just another API; it's a new execution layer designed from the ground up for the…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

We've built InferX, a specialized runtime environment that fundamentally changes how LLMs are served. The core problem we solve is the latency bottleneck in AI inference, especially with large models. Current systems waste resources or suffer from painfully slow cold starts. InferX's AI-native architecture, with its "snapshot" technology, enables: * *Sub-2s cold starts:* Spin up models instantly. * *High density:* Serve more LLMs on the same GPUs. * *Optimal efficiency:* Maximize GPU utilization. This isn't just another API; it's a new execution layer designed from the ground up for the unique demands of LLM inference. We're seeing strong interest from infrastructure teams and AI platform builders. Would love your thoughts and feedback! What are the biggest challenges you're facing with LLM deployment?

    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…

    RapidFire AI: 16–24x More Experiment Throughput Without Extra GPUsSep 2025 · github.com · ▲7

    We built RapidFire AI, an open-source Python tool to speed up LLM fine-tuning and post-training with a powerful level of control not found in most tools: Stop, resume, clone-modify and warm-start configs on the fly—so you can branch experiments while they’re running instead of starting from scratch or running one after another. - Works within your OSS stack: PyTorch, HuggingFace TRL/PEFT), MLflow. - Hyperparallel search: launch as many configs as you want together, even on a single GPU - Dynamic real-time control: stop laggards, resume them later to revisit, branch promising configs in…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
