In plain words
This project provides a PyTorch implementation of Google's Lattice models, making interpretable machine learning accessible to a broader audience. Lattice models excel at explaining AI predictions, which is critical in regulated industries and high-stakes applications. The toolkit reimplements TensorFlow's closed implementation as truly open-source software, enabling community contributions and leveraging PyTorch's ecosystem for flexibility and ease of use.

We're a group of engineers, AI/ML enthusiasts, and author of this paper https://openreview.net/forum?id=0pxiMpCyBtr who saw a closed door in AI/ML and decided to open it.

Also, side point…TensorFlow is dying https://thenextweb.com/news/why-tensorflow-for-python-is-dyi... Here's the deal: Lattice models excel in making AI interpretable—key for sectors where understanding model rationale is as crucial as the prediction. Yet, their potential was gated behind Google's walls. Fueled by the spirit of true open-source philosophy and driven by the robust, community-centric ecosystem of PyTorch, we've built a toolkit that not only matches the functionality of Google's TensorFlow lattices but is open for everyone to contribute, improve, and innovate. We're inviting you to join in. Whether it's to critique, contribute, or simply to learn, we believe your voice can help shape the future of open-source AI/ML. https://github.com/ControlAI/pytorch-lattice

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…
