Most of my own products are GPLv3 licensed. There are a few with MIT but I may switch to GPLv3. I want to make money with hosting though. Desktop apps are with Tauri, so they are also web apps if/when I sell hosting.

I will give it a shot. I am very happy to see other projects where people are trying to build with small models.

I have to check how you are using state machines but I have also been focused on small models for a while now. nocodo is one of my product experiments, currently using 120B model but I have tested a few agents inside it with 20B models. I c

Lovely to see the push for tiny models. I have been building for small (20B or less) models for quite a while. Highly focused/constrained agents, many of them running together in some kind of task orchestration mode to achieve what fee

Hello folks, I have been iterating with nocodo for over a decade. My original idea, pre LLM era, was around a Spreadsheet to create an anchor for user's workflow ideas. User would interact with the sheets UX and it would generate relat

I am wondering why this is high on HN? Perhaps a story of change and how new businesses shift existing ones? Nothing new though but still important to keep in mind.

I keep trying Xilem and then egui or Iced. Xilem needs more widgets out of the box to be easy to build with. Slint is another option. I wonder what cross platform GUI framework (from any language) will finally become as common as Electron b

Thanks! How do you earn or keep yourself afloat? I really like what you guys are doing. And similar orgs. I am personally doing the same, full-time. But I am worried when I will run out of personal savings.

Hey Reiss, I just checked Synthetic. So nice to see indie providers for smaller LLMs. I am personally building products to run only with small (actually < 20b) models. My aim is for laptop usage. Would love to know what plans you have fo

Local models, particularly the new ones would be really useful in many situations. They are not for general chat but if tools use them in specific agents, the results are awesome. I built https://github.com/brainless/dw

The trick with small models is what you ask them to do. I am working on a data extraction app (from emails and files) that works entirely local. I applied for Taalas API because it would be awesome fit. dwata: Entirely Local Financial Data

New GPUs come out all the time. New phones come out (if you count all the manufacturers) all the time. We do not need to always buy the new one. Current open weight models < 20B are already capable of being useful. With even 1K tokens&#x

If we can print ASIC at low cost, this will change how we work with models. Models would be available as USB plug-in devices. A dense < 20B model may be the best assistant we need for personal use. It is like graphic cards again. I hope

If each of the Expert models were etched in Silicon, it would still have massive speed boost, isn't it? I feel printing ASIC is the main block here.
