Vidsy-Pipes

Local AI pipeline inspections with camera and video analysis

Visit site ↗Alternativestop 20% of February 2026

What it does

Vidsy-Pipes is a Windows 11 desktop app built for pipeline inspection teams who want fast, reliable analysis without depending on the cloud. Everything runs locally on the inspector’s workstation—no uploads, no waiting. You can analyze live camera feeds or recorded inspection runs, detect events like connections, cracks or roots, and take precise measurements (including angular rotation) as you go or after the run.

    Pipelex – Declarative language for repeatable AI workflowsOct 2025 · github.com · ▲122

    We’re Robin, Louis, and Thomas. Pipelex is a DSL and a Python runtime for repeatable AI workflows. Think Dockerfile/SQL for multi-step LLM pipelines: you declare steps and interfaces; any model/provider can fill them. Why this instead of yet another workflow builder? - Declarative, not glue code: you state what to do; the runtime figures out how. - Agent-first: each step carries natural-language context (purpose, inputs/outputs with meaning) so LLMs can follow, audit, and optimize. Our MCP server enables agents to run pipelines but also to build new pipelines on demand. - Open…

    Pipevals – a visual pipeline builder for evaluation-driven AIMar 2026 · github.com · ▲6

    Hey HN! Pipevals is early and rough (this is a learning project), but usable. It currently lets you: - build evaluation pipelines as graphs - run them against datasets - track how output quality changes over time

  • 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…
