Ask HN: How are you operating OSS AI infrastructure?

There are many open-source projects across inference, orchestration, observability, vector search, data pipelines, evaluation, and model management. Most are relatively easy to test, but production operation is a different problem. For those running open-source AI infrastructure in production: * What open-source AI technologies are you using? * Where are you running them? * What challenges are you facing? - cost, GPU availability, security, manageability, or something else Thanks Comments UR...

All DeepSeek model oneshots: 242 outputs to look at and compare!

Continuing my weekend of oneshotting the cheap OpenRouter models, here are all 10 DeepSeek models across the same 35 prompts. DeepSeek had a rougher time (more provider errors / empty completions), so only 242 made it out of the 10*35 matrix. Here they are https://oneshotlm.com/model/?q=deepseek DeepSeek V4: deepseek-v4-pro , deepseek-v4-flash (+ 0731 ) DeepSeek V3.x: deepseek-v3.2 (+ exp ), deepseek-v3.1-terminus , deepseek-chat-v3.1 , deepseek-chat DeepSeek R1: deepse...

[RELEASE] SupraBrain-50M-v0.1

Hey there! So today we're releasing SupraBrain-50M, a hybrid language model that combines Gated DeltaNet linear recurrence with Sliding-Window Attention and Surprise-Gated update mechanisms to deliver very strong performance. Here are the benchmarks: https://preview.redd.it/tv0bxkbyh4hh1.png?width=615&format=png&auto=webp&s=f296ed9e6c1d94738cb7aa84015117dd3e65d2a5 Despite being trained on MUCH less data (5B vs 20B tokens!!), it's almost as good as Supra-Base-50M! 🔥 Some s...

an espresso Q/A model running fully offline on an ESP32S3

i already had an esp32 generating stories, but generating text is not the same as receiving a question and giving a useful answer. barista v0.1, a small model trained for espresso troubleshooting and running on an esp32s3 n16r8 witout cloud. you type a question(over usb for now), esp32 streams the answer to the oled (or back to terminal). how it works: > per-layer embeddings. most of the parameters in this model are in large ple and token-embedding tables. those tables stay memory-m...

I tested them by sending the 6 documents, each meant to represent a different document type, through my own webapp and comparing every output against the source. All ran on the same L4 GPU. The documents: Financial statements with merged multi-level headers (A typical annual report) Two pages of a two-column arXiv paper ("Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition") Scanned German invoice with no text layer French municipal report with an embedded bar chart Typical data...

NousResearch keeps doing things on hermes

Has anyone followed nousresearch work on Hermes? I mean we are Q3 2026. We have some crazy models trickling down from HGX territory to multi gpu workstation. And we have nousresearch deploying the 0.20 of its hermes agent while starting releasing the project with a 0.2 mid march! Crazy times to be alive. For the old timers who remember llama 1 or llama 2, remember our crappy function caller parser? Something about a lang and a chain..? wtf has happened?! Haven't tried the new hermes, do yo...

KAT Coder 2.5 dev: Do yourself a favor and try it!

It is so good! I don't know why there aren't more people talking about it. Fewer tokens, faster and more accurate than Qwen 3.6 35b a3b. On my setup it's nearly as good as 27b, but 5x faster. And it completely trashes the Gemma 4 models. At least for my use case, it feels amazing. I'd love to hear other people's experience with it. If you want an actual measure of performance, I have a GitHub repo explaining how I tested it for my type of use case with a detailed performance comparison with o...
