Shuttle AI – Instant apps, from a single prompt
Hey HN! I'm Christos, one of the co-founders at Shuttle[0], and I'm really excited to share some tech we've been working on over the past few months - Shuttle AI, a tool to generate and deploy fully working Rust backends & services from a single prompt. Looking at the latest advancements in the LLM field, we started wondering about how we can enable the machines to do more for developers - and as a company that’s focused on developer productivity, we found that our infrastructure-from-code stack could be the glue the machines need to not just generate code, but also take a step forward and…
In plain words
Shuttle AI generates and deploys fully functional Rust backends and services from a single text prompt. The tool is designed for developers who want to quickly build and deploy backend applications without writing code manually. It uses AI to generate working code and automatically deploys it using Shuttle's infrastructure-as-code platform, enabling users to create running services from scratch through prompts alone.

Hey HN! I'm Christos, one of the co-founders at Shuttle[0], and I'm really excited to share some tech we've been working on over the past few months - Shuttle AI, a tool to generate and deploy fully working Rust backends & services from a single prompt. Looking at the latest advancements in the LLM field, we started wondering about how we can enable the machines to do more for developers - and as a company that’s focused on developer productivity, we found that our infrastructure-from-code stack could be the glue the machines need to not just generate code, but also take a step forward and deploy it, enabling them build a fully-running service from scratch. Along with our large repository of sample code, we felt like we were in a perfect position to try and pull off an experiment - and today, we’re happy to show you the results of our work! With typing just a simple prompt such as `shuttle-ai build “Build me a blog service”` or `shuttle-ai build "Create a simple twitter clone”`, you can have a whole service generated and running in minutes. We’ve developed multiple GPT Agents that operate in sync, starting from breaking down your prompt into a specification, generating the necessary code, error checking it, provisioning infrastructure, and ending up with a running cloud deployment. While it still comes with limitations, mostly imposed due to underlying models, we are actively working around some of them and working on adding new features to test the limits of the LLM code generation. We’ll be releasing a larger write-up soon around methods involved, limitations we’ve encountered, and how we managed to navigate around them along with some goodies such as `shuttle-ai add-feature "Comments feature for my blog"`.

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…

Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
