AstroBee – AI-Generated Semantic Layers

Hi, I’m a cofounder of AstroBee and I wanted to share our work with the community. AstroBee is an automatic semantic layer generator for your business. It brings data together from different locations, storing it either in your data warehouse or in one we host. Then, AstroBee scans your data and models it to create an integrated source of truth (we call it an ontology because it’s structured like Palantir’s ontology). Once you have your source of truth, you can either build applications on top of it, or chat with directly to answer analytics questions. If you don’t like AstroBee’s original…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi, I’m a cofounder of AstroBee and I wanted to share our work with the community. AstroBee is an automatic semantic layer generator for your business. It brings data together from different locations, storing it either in your data warehouse or in one we host. Then, AstroBee scans your data and models it to create an integrated source of truth (we call it an ontology because it’s structured like Palantir’s ontology). Once you have your source of truth, you can either build applications on top of it, or chat with directly to answer analytics questions. If you don’t like AstroBee’s original suggestions, you can provide your own context and define your semantic layer as you wish. Then, AstroBee will hydrate your semantic layer definition your data. We imagine AstroBee can become the data layer for AI-generated internal applications. While it’s easier than ever to spin up light internal apps with “vibe-coding” tools, getting an integrated and reliable data layer to service those applications is more complicated. You can try it out on demo data or upload your own if you want. Would love your thoughts and feedback if you’re willing to try it out!

  • 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…

    I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

    Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
