ChatGPT Bot Trained on Reddit Data
I'm heavily relying on Reddit for my online research, but there are many repetitive questions and recommendations on subreddits, so I trained a GPT bot on over 100k r/BuyItForLife comments and posts to embody the collective knowledge of this Reddit community (and soon many other subreddits). Some posts I answered with the bot: - Request Post: Dishwashers. What’s currently the best dishwasher for home use? - Bot Answer: https://www.looria.com/bot?q=what%27s+currently+the+best+dis... - Request Post : Recommendations for hiking shoes? - Bot Answer:…
In plain words
ChatGPT Bot Trained on Reddit Data is an AI tool that answers product recommendation questions by drawing on over 100,000 posts and comments from the r/BuyItForLife subreddit. It helps users find collective community knowledge about durable, long-lasting purchases like dishwashers and hiking shoes without sorting through repetitive threads. The bot is designed for people conducting product research online who want faster access to curated community recommendations, though it currently has limitations with outdated information and pricing details.

I also want to add more statistical significance to the results, e.g. by feeding in the amount of product recommendations over time. - Hallucination: As always with these bots, they sometimes make things up. More training data should help here. - Performance: Generating the answers is pretty slow and I'll look into improving this. Take it with a grain of salt and look at it as a fun experiment :) Would love to hear your feedback!

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'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
