Airstrip – An open-source platform to build and use internal AI apps
Hey everyone, my cofounder and I are building Airstrip - https://github.com/hendychua/airstrip. Airstrip helps you manage your company's use of AI by providing a platform to integrate with your desired AI services and build internal AI apps for your employees. Here's a quick demo video: https://youtu.be/WREhMJMZmJA As AI usage becomes more common, companies want to carefully regulate which AI services they use and control what data is being sent to ensure data security and compliance.

In plain words
Airstrip is an open-source platform that lets companies build and manage internal AI applications. It allows administrators to integrate multiple AI services using their own API keys, set access permissions by team, and create AI-powered apps through prompts for employees to use. The platform helps organizations control which AI services are used, regulate data handling, and ensure compliance while streamlining operations with custom AI tools.

Hey everyone, my cofounder and I are building Airstrip - https://github.com/hendychua/airstrip. Airstrip helps you manage your company's use of AI by providing a platform to integrate with your desired AI services and build internal AI apps for your employees. Here's a quick demo video: https://youtu.be/WREhMJMZmJA As AI usage becomes more common, companies want to carefully regulate which AI services they use and control what data is being sent to ensure data security and compliance. Building and using internal apps that use AI to streamline operations is also a common use case. This is where Airstrip can help. The platform allows you to add integrations with different AI services with your own API keys. You can restrict which teams can use these API keys. Admins can build internal AI apps by prompting. Members can use these internal apps. This way, companies are assured that their employees are not going to a bunch of different AI services (ChatGPT, Anthropic, etc) on their own. Airstrip is currently focused on making it easy for non-technical users to build AI apps - anyone (your HR team, operations team, etc) can build AI apps by prompting because they are the ones with domain knowledge (and it frees up engineers to build other more complex apps). We are not a workflow tool nor prompt management tool (at least not yet). These are features that we have in our plan but we are focused on making it as easy as possible for non-technical users to build apps. Airstrip is completely open-source and easy for you to get started. It is in its early stages and we are adding more features. Appreciate if you try it out and give us your feedback. Thank you!

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…

Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
