Exploring the tree of LLM generations [video]
This is a simple text editor, made using gtkmm 3 and llama.cpp, that allows you to explore the possible continuations (ranked by descending probability) that an LLM would output after each token. I was quite surprised that there didn't seem to be a tool like that out there yet, so I decided to make my own. Source is on Github (https://github.com/blackhole89/autopen), though the code is still in a very rough shape.

- A1A 100-Line LLM Framework2025 · github.com · ▲9
I've seen a lot of comments about how complex frameworks like LangChain can be. Over the holidays, I wanted to see how minimal an LLM framework could get if we stripped away everything non-essential. The result is an LLM framework in just 100 lines of code. These 100 lines capture what I see as the core abstraction of most LLM frameworks: a nested directed graph that breaks down tasks into multiple LLM steps, with branching and recursion to enable agent-like decision-making. From there, you can layer on more advanced features like agents, RAG, task decomposition, and more. I’ve intentionally…
- IBI built a tool to find the best and cheapest LLM models for my projects2024 · viewpointhq.com · ▲5
Hey HN, I've been working on something cool that I wanted to share with you all. It's called Viewpoint, an analytics tool for LLMs like OpenAI, Anthropic models, and Gemini. The idea came from the constant flood of new LLM models and the need to figure out which ones work best for my projects without breaking the bank. With viewpoint, I can track token usage, costs, latency(WIP), and traffic over time, making it easier to compare different models and see which ones perform best and save money. The tool works asynchronously, so it doesn't add any latency to your LLM requests, and you have…

Little tool that I made to understand how (un)reasonable my prompts are.
- GBGraph-Based Editor for LLM Workflows2024 · github.com · ▲8
Hey HN, We’re excited to share PySpur, an open-source tool that provides a graph-based interface for building, debugging, and evaluating LLM workflows. Why we built this: Before this, we built several LLM-powered applications that collectively served thousands of users. The biggest challenge we faced was ensuring reliability: making sure the workflows were robust enough to handle edge cases and deliver consistent results. In practice, achieving this reliability meant repeatedly: 1. Breaking down complex goals into simpler steps: Composing prompts, tool calls, parsing steps, and branching…

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…
