Gurubase – AI-Powered Q&A Assistants for Any Topic
Hey everyone, A couple of months ago, we created Gurubase.io to build RAG-based Q&A agents focused on open-source tools, with the goal of helping developers learn and troubleshoot more effectively. Since then, it has gained momentum, with hundreds of repositories already using it and showcasing it to their users.. https://github.com/Gurubase/gurubase?tab=readme-ov-file#used... Today, we've released the entire system as an open-source project, allowing you to install it in your own infrastructure and create "Gurus" on any topic you choose. Current capabilities of Gurubase:…
In plain words
Gurubase is an open-source AI system that creates question-answering agents on any topic using retrieval-augmented generation. Developers can build custom "Gurus" by feeding them PDFs, web pages, YouTube videos, or GitHub repositories, then query them for learning and troubleshooting. The platform includes a node-graph visualization tool called Binge that maps chat history and lets users explore personalized knowledge paths. It can be installed in users' own infrastructure.

Hey everyone, A couple of months ago, we created Gurubase.io to build RAG-based Q&A agents focused on open-source tools, with the goal of helping developers learn and troubleshoot more effectively. Since then, it has gained momentum, with hundreds of repositories already using it and showcasing it to their users.. https://github.com/Gurubase/gurubase?tab=readme-ov-file#used... Today, we've released the entire system as an open-source project, allowing you to install it in your own infrastructure and create "Gurus" on any topic you choose. Current capabilities of Gurubase: * You can create a Guru by powering it with PDFs, web pages, YouTube videos, or GitHub repositories. * We present Binge, which visualizes your chat history as a node graph. You can navigate through it and create a personalized path. * The system includes an instant evaluation mechanism to minimize hallucinations in generated answers as much as possible. * You can also embed your Guru into your website using an "Ask AI" widget. Check out https://getanteon.com to see it in action. * Although we initially focused on GitHub repositories, you can now create Gurus on any topic, website, or whatever you want by providing the related data. We appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance! GH Repo: https://github.com/Gurubase/gurubase

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…

- TITetris in a PDF▲1,289
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…
