Tracecast Open Data Apps
Open source generative data apps
What it does
Hi! I'm Malachy, the founder of Tracecast. This project lets you generate interactive data apps on top of your data, using a Cursor-style AI chat. It has an Apache 2.0 license. The agent generates a fully functional Python notebook under the hood, so you can ask it for anything to better visualize and understand your data, from reactive components to creative visualizations and tabs.

Hi HN, I'm Malachy, the founder of Tracecast. This project lets you generate interactive data apps on top of your data, using a Cursor-style AI chat. It stitches together Marimo, LangGraph agents, and data warehouse query tools. It has an Apache 2.0 license. The initial use case that spurred this project was business analytics, specifically generating product usage dashboards. This project's main inspiration is Marimo, an open source python notebook that can be "queried with SQL, run as a script, and deployed as an app" [1]. The recent release of Marimo Pair [2] demonstrated the power of…
- DAdstack – an open-source tool to build data applications easily2020 · ▲134
Dear HN, I am Riwaj, the cofounder of dstack.ai (https://github.com/dstackai). A few months ago, we built an online service that allows users to publish data visualizations from Python or R. The idea was to build a tool that did not require additional programming or front-end development for publishing data visualizations. Such a code can be invoked from either Jupyter notebook, RMarkdown, Python, or R scripts. Once the data is pushed, it can be accessed via a browser. Open-sourcing dstack: During our customer discovery phase, we realized that dstack.ai should integrate a lot…

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…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
