Modeleon – Python DSL that compiles to live Excel formulas

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN. Modeleon is an open-source Python DSL for financial models. You write models in Python with named variables and operator-overloaded arithmetic, and it compiles to a real .xlsx with live formulas — not values, but formulas like =B4*B5 that the CFO can audit in Excel. The architectural bet is "model is the source of truth, spreadsheet is one rendering." We have a Walker/Renderer split so the same model can target Excel today and other backends later. We've been building this for finance + Python developers (CFA candidates with Python skills, FP&A analysts who automate). It's pre-alpha — works, but the API will change before 1.0. Apache 2.0. PyPI: pip install modeleon. Happy to answer questions.

  dstack – an open-source tool to build data applications easily2020 · ▲134

  Dear HN, I am Riwaj, the cofounder of dstack.ai (https://github.com/dstackai). A few months ago, we built an online service that allows users to publish data visualizations from Python or R. The idea was to build a tool that did not require additional programming or front-end development for publishing data visualizations. Such a code can be invoked from either Jupyter notebook, RMarkdown, Python, or R scripts. Once the data is pushed, it can be accessed via a browser. Open-sourcing dstack: During our customer discovery phase, we realized that dstack.ai should integrate a lot…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
