Show HN: Zero-power photonic language model–code 5 by damir00 | 2 comments The model uses a 1024-dimensional complex Hilbert space with 32 layers of programmable Mach–Zehnder meshes (Reck architecture) and derives token probabilities directly via the Born rule. Despite using only unitary operations and no attention mechanism, a 1024×32 model achieves coherent TinyStories generation after < 1.8 hours of training on a single consumer GPU. This is Part 1 - the next step is physical implementation with $50 of optics from AliExpress. on Hacker News.

Show HN: Data Formulator – interactive AI agents for data analysis (Microsoft) 8 by chenglong-hn | 6 comments Hi everyone, we are excited to share with you our new release of Data Formulator. Starting from a dataset, you can communicate with AI agents with UI + natural language to explore data and create visualizations to discover new insights. Here's a demo video of the experience: https://github.com/microsoft/data-formulator/releases/tag/0.... . This is a build-up from our release a year ago ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41907719 ). We spent a year exploring how to blend agent mode with interactions to allow you more easily "vibe" with your data but still keeping in control. We don't think the future of data analysis is just "agent to do all for you from a high-level prompt" --- you should still be able to drive the open-ended exploration; but we also don't want you to do everything step-by-step. Thus we worked on this "interactive agent...

Show HN: I scraped 3B Goodreads reviews to train a better recommendation model 17 by costco | 2 comments Hi everyone, For the past couple months I've been working on a website with two main features: - https://book.sv - put in a list of books and get recommendations on what to read next from a model trained on over a billion reviews - https://book.sv/intersect - put in a list of books and find the users on Goodreads who have read them all (if you don't want to be included in these results, you can opt-out here: https://book.sv/remove-my-data ) Technical info available here: https://book.sv/how-it-works Note 1: If you only provide one or two books, the model doesn't have a lot to work with and may include a handful of somewhat unrelated popular books in the results. If you want recommendations based on just one book, click the "Similar" button next to the book after adding it to the input book list on the recommendations page. Note 2: This is uncommon, but if you ...

Show HN: TabPFN-2.5 – SOTA foundation model for tabular data 29 by onasta | 4 comments I am excited to announce the release of TabPFN-2.5, our tabular foundation model that now scales to datasets of up to 50,000 samples and 2,000 features - a 5x increase from TabPFN v2, published in the Nature journal earlier this year. TabPFN-2.5 delivers state-of-the-art predictions in one forward pass without hyperparameter tuning across classification and regression tasks. What’s new in 2.5 : TabPFN-2.5 maintains the core approach of v2 - a pretrained transformer trained on more than hundred million synthetic datasets to perform in-context learning and output a predictive distribution for the test data. It natively supports missing values, cateogrical features, text and numerical features is robust to outliers and uninformative features. The major improvements: - 5x scale increase: Now handles 50,000 samples × 2,000 features (up from 10,000 × 500 in v2) - SOTA performance: TabPFN-2.5 outperforms t...
