Zibra AI

AI-Native Data Infrastructure for Spatial and Physical AI

What it does

GPU-native data orchestration platform for physical and spatial AI. Spatial AI isn't compute-bound — it's data-bound. Massive volumetric datasets create a data gravity problem: I/O bottlenecks starve GPUs and stall training despite huge compute investment. Zibra removes that bottleneck — over 97% in size reduction, 600+ GB/s decompression, delivered in the compressed unified format directly into GPU. 40% better GPU utilization. 30% faster model convergence. This is the missing data layer.

    Cua-Bench – a benchmark for AI agents in GUI environmentsJan 2026 · github.com · ▲40

    Hey HN, we're excited to share Cua-Bench ( https://github.com/trycua/cua ), an open-source framework for evaluating and training computer-use agents across different environments. Computer-use agents show massive performance variance across different UIs—an agent with 90% success on Windows 11 might drop to 9% on Windows XP for the same task. The problem is OS themes, browser versions, and UI variations that existing benchmarks don't capture. The existing benchmarks (OSWorld, Windows Agent Arena, AndroidWorld) were great but operated in silos—different harnesses,…

    Rate limiting, caching and request prioritization for AI apps2024 · fluxninja.com · ▲10

    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…

  • 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…

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
