Use natural language to query and visualize 400M tweets

We've been working hard for the last year on building HeavyIQ, an LLM-powered plugin to the GPU-accelerated HeavyDB database, that allows users to ask natural language questions and get SQL, visualizations, and natural language answers back. The LLM itself is fine-tuned on tens of thousands of question and answer pairs, with a major focus around building the model’s proficiency at performing spatial and temporal joins. You can try it for yourself on this live demo of 400M tweets and a handful of other datasets of interest:…

In plain words

HeavyIQ is an AI-powered plugin for HeavyDB that lets users query large datasets using natural language. Users ask questions and receive SQL queries, visualizations, and written answers. The underlying language model is fine-tuned on thousands of question-answer pairs with emphasis on spatial and temporal joins. A live demo allows exploration of 400 million tweets and other sample datasets without coding.

  • 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…
