Nomadic – Minimize RAG Hallucinations with 1 Hyperparameter Experiment
Hey HN! Mustafa, Lizzie, and Varun here from NomadicML (https://nomadicml.com). We’re excited to show you Nomadic (https://github.com/nomadic-ml/nomadic): a platform focused on parameter search to continuously optimize AI systems. Here’s a simple demo notebook where you get the best-performing, statistically significant configurations for your RAG — and improve hallucination metrics by 4X in just 5 minutes — with a single Nomadic experiment: https://tinyurl.com/4xmaryyw Our lightweight library is now live on PyPI (`pip install nomadic`). Try one…

In plain words
Nomadic is a Python library for hyperparameter optimization designed to reduce hallucinations in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems. Users define their model, evaluation metrics, dataset, and parameters to test, and the tool identifies statistically significant configurations. It operates as a lightweight package installable via PyPI and focuses on helping developers quickly optimize AI systems without relying on manual tuning or ad-hoc deployment choices.

Open-source model and scorecard for measuring hallucinations in LLMs2023 · vectara.com · ▲65Hi all! This morning, we released a new Apache 2.0 licensed model on HuggingFace for detecting hallucinations in retrieval augmented generation (RAG) systems. What we've found is that even when given a "simple" instruction like "summarize the following news article," every LLM that's available hallucinates to some extent, making up details that never existed in the source article -- and some of them quite a bit. As a RAG provider and proponents of ethical AI, we want to see LLMs get better at this. We've published an open source model, a blog more thoroughly describing our methodology (and…
ViberiaMay 2026 · getviberia.com · ▲146Hey HN, This is my take on the agent harness. Everything on an isometric map. Agents are grouped into "buildings" that run in a sequence or a loop; e.g., the CodeForge has an agent that writes a PRD, another one that implements, and a third that reviews. Everything is customizable, you build your own buildings/teams however you want. It's a Tauri app, really light (about 8x less energy than the closest competitor I benchmarked, so it actually runs from a coffee shop on battery). It's macOS only for now, but ping me if you are willing to test the Windows or Linux version. I've been…
Turn any website into a knowledge base for LLMs2024 · embedding.io · ▲305I built this tool because I wanted a way to just take a bunch of URLs or domains, and query their content in RAG applications. It takes away the pain of crawling, extracting content, chunking, vectorizing, and updating periodically. I'm curious to see if it can be useful to others. I meant to launch this six months ago but life got in the way...
How we leapfrogged traditional vector based RAG with a 'language map'2024 · twitter.com · ▲162TL;DR: Vector-based RAG performs poorly for many real-world applications like codebase chats, and you should consider 'language maps'. Part of our mission at Mutable.ai is to make it much easier for developers to build and understand software. One of the natural ways to do this is to create a codebase chat, that answer questions about your repo and help you build features. It might seem simple to plug in your codebase into a state-of-the-art LLM, but LLMs have two limitations that make human-level assistance with code difficult: 1. They currently have context windows that are too small to…
HopperMay 2026 · hypercubic.ai · ▲100Hi HN, we’re Sai and Aayush, and we’re building Hypercubic (https://www.hypercubic.ai/), bringing AI tools to the mainframe and COBOL world. (We did a Launch HN last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45877517.) Today we’re launching Hopper, an agentic development environment for mainframes. You can download it here: https://www.hypercubic.ai/hopper, and you can also request access and immediately get a mainframe user account to play with. There's also a video runthrough at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q81L5DcfBvE.…
AutoRAG – AutoML tool for RAG. Find an optimal RAG pipeline2024 · github.com · ▲18- Discovering the most effective RAG pipeline for your specific data and use case can be daunting. It requires experimenting with various RAG modules and configurations, which are both time-consuming and complex. - AutoRAG addresses this challenge by automatically evaluating different combinations of RAG modules and their parameters. You don't need to write implementation code yourself; everything is set up through a single YAML file. - Our aim is to save you the hassle of continuously adapting to new RAG modules and configurations. Instead, you can focus on developing robust data for your…
