Cube – The Agentic Analytics Platform [video]

You might know Cube as an open-source semantic layer (https://github.com/cube-js/cube). Started in 2018, now 19K+ stars, 1000+ releases. We kept hitting the same wall: everyone wants AI analytics, but AI without business context hallucinates. The fix is a semantic layer — a model that defines what "revenue" or "churn" actually means. But building one by hand takes weeks. So we built an AI agent that writes the semantic layer itself, then uses it to answer questions and build dashboards with no hallucinations. Connect your data → agent builds the model in seconds → ask…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

You might know Cube as an open-source semantic layer (https://github.com/cube-js/cube). Started in 2018, now 19K+ stars, 1000+ releases. We kept hitting the same wall: everyone wants AI analytics, but AI without business context hallucinates. The fix is a semantic layer — a model that defines what "revenue" or "churn" actually means. But building one by hand takes weeks. So we built an AI agent that writes the semantic layer itself, then uses it to answer questions and build dashboards with no hallucinations. Connect your data → agent builds the model in seconds → ask questions in natural language → get accurate results grounded in your business definitions. Three months in GA. Running in 200+ companies. 500K+ lines of semantic layer code generated. Teams like Brex and Drata using it in production. OSS core isn't going anywhere. Agentic analytics is a cloud layer on top. Free tier available. https://cube.dev/ The founders are in the thread to answer your question.

  • 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…
