Rate limiting, caching and request prioritization for AI apps
Generative AI applications pose a unique challenge in production. They are computationally intensive and orders of magnitude slower than traditional data-intensive applications. Scaling these applications is further complicated by expensive hardware requirements and GPU shortages. Consequently, developers are scrambling to implement home-grown caching and rate-limiting solutions, which are error-prone and difficult to get right.

In plain words
FluxNinja Aperture is a load management platform designed for generative AI applications. It provides rate limiting, concurrency control, caching, and request prioritization to help developers manage computationally intensive workloads without building custom solutions. Users define policies based on business attributes like user tier and request type through Aperture SDKs. The platform addresses the challenges of scaling AI applications amid expensive hardware requirements and GPU constraints, offering production-grade infrastructure for managing AI traffic efficiently.

Generative AI applications pose a unique challenge in production. They are computationally intensive and orders of magnitude slower than traditional data-intensive applications. Scaling these applications is further complicated by expensive hardware requirements and GPU shortages. Consequently, developers are scrambling to implement home-grown caching and rate-limiting solutions, which are error-prone and difficult to get right. FluxNinja Aperture delivers a production-grade experience with a purpose-built load management platform that provides rate & concurrency limiting, caching, and request prioritization for generative AI applications. Developers can wrap their workloads with Aperture SDKs and define load management policies on business attributes such as user tier, request type, priority, etc. Features: - Global Rate Limiting: Prevent abuse by filtering traffic based on user, service, and tier levels, among other granular options. - Request Prioritization: Boost application performance by prioritizing critical requests while queueing less urgent ones. - Serverless Caching: Reduce costs and alleviate system load by caching frequently requested data. - Manage External Limits: Manage API rate limits from third parties (OpenAI, GitHub, Shopify, etc.) with client-side rate limits and prioritization. SDKs are available in Typescript, Python, Go, etc. The solution also integrates with API gateways and service meshes with an in-cluster deployment option. We'd love to hear your feedback!

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…
