A lightweight AI gateway to 100+ models, in TS
We are Rohit & Ayush, we created Portkey this year March to help tackle some challenges we had seen while building apps based on GPT3, 3.5, 4, and the DevOps principles we brought to the scene to help tackle them. We believe, a solid, performant, and reliable gateway lays the foundation to help build the next level of LLM apps. It decreases excessive reliance on any one company and takes the focus back to building instead of spending time fixing the nitty gritties of different providers and making them work together. Features: Blazing fast (9.9x faster) with a tiny footprint (~45kb…
In plain words
Portkey is a lightweight TypeScript gateway that connects applications to over 100 AI models from multiple providers. It offers fast performance with a small footprint and includes load balancing, automatic failover, and retry logic to keep AI applications running reliably. Designed for developers building production AI apps, it reduces vendor lock-in and simplifies managing different AI providers and models in a single application.

We are Rohit & Ayush, we created Portkey this year March to help tackle some challenges we had seen while building apps based on GPT3, 3.5, 4, and the DevOps principles we brought to the scene to help tackle them. We believe, a solid, performant, and reliable gateway lays the foundation to help build the next level of LLM apps. It decreases excessive reliance on any one company and takes the focus back to building instead of spending time fixing the nitty gritties of different providers and making them work together. Features: Blazing fast (9.9x faster) with a tiny footprint (~45kb installed) Load balance across multiple models, providers, and keys Fallbacks make sure your app stays resilient Automatic Retries with exponential fallbacks come by default Plug-in middleware as needed Battle tested over 100B tokens and millions of requests For the folks serious about gateway, separation of concerns, TS developers.. I'd love to hear your thoughts and we're hungry for feedback! Reach out to us at [email protected] or explore the project: https://github.com/portkey-ai/gateway

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…
