Self-hosted infrastructure for AI — auth, billing, credits
What it does
Herald: an open-source (Apache-2.0), self-hosted foundation that ships all of it connected in one codebase: • Multi-tenant auth (OAuth, passkeys, RBAC, cross-app SSO) • Billing via Stripe & Creem — a purchase grants access and credits, a refund or churn revokes them • A credits system built for AI/metered pricing: top-ups, expiry, per-user ledgers, rolling quota windows • An admin console, audit trails, white-labeling, custom domains

- AGArch GW – Distributed gateway for agents, engineered with small LLMs2024 · docs.archgw.com · ▲7
Hi HN My name is Salman and I work on Arch GW - the intelligent gateway designed to protect, observe, and personalize LLM applications with your APIs. https://github.com/katanemo/arch Our team built Envoy Proxy at Lyft, and re-imagined it with the belief that: Prompts are nuanced and opaque user requests, which require the same capabilities as traditional HTTP requests including secure handling, intelligent routing, robust observability, and integration with backend (API) systems for personalization – all outside business logic. Engineered with purpose-built LLMs, Arch…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

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.
