Open-Sourcing Google's Lattice Models in PyTorch

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. This project is a PyTorch reimagining of Google's TensorFlow Lattice models, which despite being labeled open-source, were previously open in name only (you have to be a Googler to contribute). 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…

Open-Sourcing Google's Lattice Models in PyTorch launched on November 15, 2023 with 13 votes, #1,360 of 4,332 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.

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.

    Hi HN! We're Gabriel & Viraj, and we're excited to open source TensorZero. To be a little cheeky, TensorZero is an open-source platform that helps LLM applications graduate from API wrappers into defensible AI products. 1. Integrate our model gateway 2. Send metrics or feedback 3. Unlock compounding improvements in quality, cost, and latency It enables a data & learning flywheel for LLMs by unifying: • Inference: one API for all LLMs, with <1ms P99 overhead • Observability: inference & feedback → your database • Optimization: better prompts, models, inference strategies • Experimentation:…

  • Hi HN, I’m Kashish, one of the co-founders of SpeedVitals, a platform for testing & monitoring website performance with a major emphasis on Core Web Vitals. Until now, our platform has only focused on Synthetic&#x2F;Lab testing, such as Lighthouse tests and TTFB tests. But now, we have developed a Real-User Monitoring platform that doubles up as a Web Analytics tool. One major feature we have that most RUM tools lack is Performance Audits. Just like Lighthouse audits work on Lab test data, our audits work across all the real-user visits and gives suggestions on what task to prioritize first.…
