Show HN: FinetuneDB – AI fine-tuning platform to create custom LLMs 11 by felix089 | 6 comments Hey HN! We’re building FinetuneDB ( https://finetunedb.com/ ), an LLM fine-tuning platform. It enables teams to easily create and manage high-quality datasets, and streamlines the entire workflow from fine-tuning to serving and evaluating models with domain experts. You can check out our docs here: ( https://docs.finetunedb.com/ ) FinetuneDB exists because creating and managing high-quality datasets is a real bottleneck when fine-tuning LLMs. The quality of your data directly impacts the performance of your fine-tuned models, and existing tools didn’t offer an easy way for teams to build, organize, and iterate on their datasets. We’ve been working closely with our pilot customers, both AI startups and more traditional businesses like a large newspaper, which is fine-tuning models on their articles to automate content generation in their tone of voice. The platform is built with an end-to-en...

Show HN: open source framework OpenAI uses for Advanced Voice 28 by russ | 3 comments Hey HN, we've been working with OpenAI for the past few months on the new Realtime API. The goal is to give everyone access to the same stack that underpins Advanced Voice in the ChatGPT app. Under the hood it works like this: - A user's speech is captured by a LiveKit client SDK in the ChatGPT app - Their speech is streamed using WebRTC to OpenAI’s voice agent - The agent relays the speech prompt over websocket to GPT-4o - GPT-4o runs inference and streams speech packets (over websocket) back to the agent - The agent relays generated speech using WebRTC back to the user’s device The Realtime API that OpenAI launched is the websocket interface to GPT-4o. This backend framework covers the voice agent portion. Besides having additional logic like function calling, the agent fundamentally proxies WebRTC to websocket. The reason for this is because websocket isn’t the best choice for client-serve...

Show HN: FFmpeg-over-IP – Connect to remote FFmpeg servers 28 by steelbrain | 8 comments Dear HN, I’m excited to show case a personal project. It has helped me quite a bit with my home lab, I hope it can help you with yours too! ffmpeg-over-ip has two components, a server and a client. You can run the server in an environment with access to a GPU and a locally installed version of ffmpeg, the client only needs network access to the server and no GPU or ffmpeg locally. Both and client and the server need a shared filesystem for this to work (so the server can write output to it, and client can read from it). In my usecase, smb works well if your (GPU) server is a windows machine, nfs works really well for linux setups. This utility can be useful in a number of scenarios: - You find passing through a (v)GPU to your virtual machines complicated - You want to use the same GPU for ffmpeg in multiple virtual machines - Your server has a weak GPU so you want to use the GPU from your gaming m...

Ask HN: What do embedded engineers do? 15 by meekasan | 15 comments I would very much like to transition to doing more embedded type software that is closer to interfacing directly with hardware, but my only experience in this has been writing code for Arduino, different Raspberry Pi flavors, and sometimes the ESP8266. I really enjoy doing these kinds of projects but through all the effort of making it as easy as possible for people to write, compile, and use code on these embedded chips I've never gotten the sense that people would be willing to pay me to do similar type of work. I'm not under the impression that writing firmware or doing lower level programming is all like this, so I would like to hear what kinds of projects and challenges people who may have actually been employed doing work like this have come across. Was it interesting work? Is this type of software engineering in demand? on Hacker News. I would very much like to transition to doing more embedded type s...

Show HN: Kameo – a Rust library for building fault-tolerant, async actors 33 by tqwewe | 10 comments Hi HN, I’m excited to share Kameo, a lightweight Rust library that helps you build fault-tolerant, distributed, and asynchronous actors. If you're working on distributed systems, microservices, or real-time applications, Kameo offers a simple yet powerful API for handling concurrency, panic recovery, and remote messaging between nodes. Key Features: - Async Rust: Each actor runs as a separate Tokio task, making concurrency management simple. - Remote Messaging: Seamlessly send messages to actors across different nodes. - Supervision and Fault Tolerance: Create self-healing systems with actor hierarchies. - Backpressure Support: Supports bounded and unbounded mpsc messaging. I built Kameo because I wanted a more intuitive, scalable solution for distributed Rust applications. I’d love feedback from the HN community and contributions from anyone interested in Rust and actor-based syst...
