With ArdentAI, you can automate these tasks up to 100x faster. What is it? ArdentAI is an AI Agent that connects directly to your databases and handles all the heavy lifting. Think of it as ChatGPT, but for your data infrastructure—it builds, syncs, transforms, and fixes errors for you. It doesn't just write code, it performs actions. Why ArdentAI? Data engineers spend countless hours manually creating pipelines, integrating APIs, and transforming data into usable formats like star schemas. ArdentAI does this in minutes, directly on your existing stack. Key Features: • Autofix Airflow: Connect it to Airflow, and it will review failed job runs, and edit code to fix the pipeline. • Natural Language Interface: Build and debug pipelines with plain English commands. • Direct Integration: Works seamlessly with your existing data stack. • Safe Mode: Approve changes before they’re executed. • End-to-End Encryption: Keeps your data secure, always. Try it for Free: Start with our free Basic plan—no credit card required. Enjoy 10 job calls per month and core features, with options to scale as your team grows.

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…
