Klarity – Open-source tool to analyze uncertainty/entropy in LLM output
We've open-sourced Klarity - a tool for analyzing uncertainty and decision-making in LLM token generation. It provides structured insights into how models choose tokens and where they show uncertainty. What Klarity does: - Real-time analysis of model uncertainty during generation - Dual analysis combining log probabilities and semantic understanding - Structured JSON output with actionable insights - Fully self-hostable with customizable analysis models The tool works by analyzing each step of text generation and returns a structured JSON: - uncertainty_points: array of {step, entropy,…

In plain words
Klarity is an open-source tool that analyzes uncertainty in large language model token generation. It examines how models make decisions at each generation step, identifying points of high entropy and confidence. The tool provides structured JSON output combining log probability analysis with semantic understanding, helping developers understand where models show uncertainty. It is self-hostable with customizable analysis models and currently supports Hugging Face Transformers, tested with Qwen models.

LLMs can generate valid JSON 100% of the time2023 · github.com · ▲854Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…
Entropy-Guided Loop – How to make small models reason2025 · github.com · ▲33TLDR: A small, vendor-agnostic inference loop that turns token logprobs/perplexity/entropy into an extra pass and reasoning for LLMs. - Captures logprobs/top-k during generation, computes perplexity and token-level entropy. - Triggers at most one refine when simple thresholds fire; passes a compact “uncertainty report” (uncertain tokens + top-k alts + local context) back to the model. - In our tests on technical Q&A / math / code, a small model recovered much of “reasoning” quality at ~⅓ the cost while refining ~⅓ of outputs. I kept seeing “reasoning” models behave…
KVSplit – Run 2-3x longer contexts on Apple Silicon2025 · github.com · ▲272I discovered that in LLM inference, keys and values in the KV cache have very different quantization sensitivities. Keys need higher precision than values to maintain quality. I patched llama.cpp to enable different bit-widths for keys vs. values on Apple Silicon. The results are surprising: - K8V4 (8-bit keys, 4-bit values): 59% memory reduction with only 0.86% perplexity loss - K4V8 (4-bit keys, 8-bit values): 59% memory reduction but 6.06% perplexity loss - The configurations use the same number of bits, but K8V4 is 7× better for quality This means you can run LLMs with 2-3× longer…
Fully client-side GPT2 prediction visualizer2023 · perplexity.vercel.app · ▲153Hi HN! I've found this visualization tool immensely helpful over the years for getting an intuition for how an LLM "sees" some piece of text, and with a bit of elbow grease decided to move all compute to client side so I could make it publicly available. I've found it particularly useful for - Understanding exactly how repetition and patterns affect a small LM's ability to predict correctly - Understanding different tokenization patterns and how it affects model output - Getting a general sense of how "hard" different prediction tasks are for GPT-style models Known problems (that I probably…
A new benchmark for testing LLMs for deterministic outputsApr 2026 · interfaze.ai · ▲60When building workflows that rely on LLMs, we commonly use structured output for programmatic use cases like converting an invoice into rows or meeting transcripts into tickets or even complex PDFs into database entries. The model may return the schema you want, but with hallucinated values like `invoice_date` being off by 2 months or the transcript array ordered wrongly. The JSON is valid, but the values are not. Structured output today is a big part of using LLMs, especially when building deterministic workflows. Current structured output benchmarks (e.g., JSONSchemaBench) only validate…
Fine-grained stylistic control of LLMs using model arithmetic2023 · github.com · ▲85We developed a new framework that enables flexible control of generated text in language models. By combining several models and/or system prompts in one mathematical formula, it lets you tweak your style and combine model outputs with ease. A handy tool for those working with LLMs, looking for more fine-grained control of stylistic output. More details in our paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.14479. Feedback and potential applications are welcome.

I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024. It's sold…

i wanted to change the habit of reaching for my phone in the morning and doomscrolling away an hour so i built an app to help me. now i have to literally touch grass before accessing my most distracting apps the app is built in swiftui, uses the screen time apis provided by apple and google vision to recognise grass or not i'd love to get your thoughts on the concept.
