Build Live AI and RAG Pipelines in Minutes with YAML Templates
Hello everyone! I am Jan, CTO and one of the creators of Pathway, the real-time data processing framework. I’m excited to share Pathway’s ready-to-use AI Pipelines, configurable with just YAML! These frameworks offer out-of-the-box solutions for AI search, RAG, and more—optimized for real-time indexing and in-memory processing. What makes it simple? YAML templates! The pipeline templates are fully customizable using YAMLs to fit your needs, from changing the data sources to the choice of the LLM model, all without touching Pathway’s Python code. Thanks to the Pathway data processing engine,…

In the maker’s words, at launch
Hello everyone! I am Jan, CTO and one of the creators of Pathway, the real-time data processing framework. I’m excited to share Pathway’s ready-to-use AI Pipelines, configurable with just YAML! These frameworks offer out-of-the-box solutions for AI search, RAG, and more—optimized for real-time indexing and in-memory processing. What makes it simple? YAML templates! The pipeline templates are fully customizable using YAMLs to fit your needs, from changing the data sources to the choice of the LLM model, all without touching Pathway’s Python code. Thanks to the Pathway data processing engine, these pipelines are optimized for real-time, updating the pipeline by ingesting the data as it arrives. Why it matters: * YAML templates: that’s it, no Python code required. * Full customization: Configure everything, from LLM models and indexes to tokenizers and retrieval strategies. * Real-time data sync: Connect to data sources like Google Drive, SharePoint, and more, with pipelines automatically updating to reflect all additions, deletions, and changes in real-time. * Powerful search capabilities: Internal in-memory indexing supports vector, hybrid, and full-text search. The indexing is automatically maintained as data sources update in real-time. * Deploy in minutes: Quickly deploy on-premises or on cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure. * It's open: don't hesitate to contribute!

Demo starts at 50m into the video. This was a bit terrifying to record because 2am the previous night everything was totally broken after a major refactor (so that we could add external LLM support as well as local GPUs). But pressure can be a useful force :-D We start with a stack deployed on my laptop without a GPU, pointing to together.ai so we can run open source LLMs easily without having to have access to a GPU. We show simple inference through the ChatGPT-like web interface (with users, sessions etc) and then simple drag'n'drop RAG. Then we show some helix apps defined as yaml: Marvin…

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…
