AnuDB – Embedded database with native MQTT support for IoT/AI use cases
Hi HN! I've been working on AnuDB, a lightweight embedded key-value database written in C++ with a focus on simplicity, performance, and small footprints. It now has native MQTT support, allowing you to write directly to the database by publishing to an MQTT topic. but it’s designed to work well on embedded devices, edge nodes, and anywhere you need local persistence without spinning up a full database server. Highlights: MQTT-based data ingestion (zero setup DB writes via publish) Small and fast (single binary, no external dependencies) Append-only write-ahead log for durability Demo:…

Highlights: MQTT-based data ingestion (zero setup DB writes via publish) Small and fast (single binary, no external dependencies) Append-only write-ahead log for durability Demo: https://github.com/hash-anu/AnuDB/blob/main/demo.gif Use cases I have in mind: Offline-first IoT data collection Local state storage in embedded ML workflows Data sync in remote/low-power environments Would love feedback, use case ideas, or thoughts on what to prioritize next. Thanks!

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…

Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
