Show HN: Local fine tuning for Mistral and SDXL, GPU mem/latency optimization
21 by lewq | 3 comments on Hacker News.
100% bootstrapped new startup. It lets you fine tune Mistral-7B and SDXL. In particular, for the LLM fine tuning we implemented a dataprep pipeline that turns websites/pdfs/doc files into question-answer pairs for training the small LLM using an big LLM. It includes a GPU scheduler that can do finegrained GPU memory scheduling (Kubernetes can only do whole-GPU, we do it per-GB of GPU memory to pack both inference and fine tuning jobs into the same fleet) to fit model instances into GPU memory to optimally trade off user facing latency with GPU memory utilization It's a pretty simple stack of control plane and a fat container that runs anywhere you can get hold of a GPU (e.g. runpod).

Hi everyone I'm a Notion-addicted person and love to build my own template to cover different aspects of my life, either work or personal stuff. Once, I wanted to build a habit tracker template, and I realized Notion was not the best solution. You can organize it in a much more efficient way just with a pen and a piece of paper. However, the best tool should live on your devices and have a correct structure. Then, I decided to try to build an app using SwiftUI and SwiftData. The goal was to make it a very basic version in one month. But it took me two months. I tried to add only the core features for MVP and see if it works for others. On Twitter, it already received some love, and I'm very excited to share the app here to get even more feedback. Let me know what you think

Ask HN: When LLMs make stuff up, call it 'confabulating', not 'hallucinating'
20 by irdc | 20 comments on Hacker News.
In humans, a hallucination is formally defined as being a sensory experience without an external stimulus. LLMs have no sensors to experience the world with (other than their text input) and (probably) don’t even have a subjective experience in the same way humans do. A more suitable term would be confabulation, which is what humans do when due to a memory error (eg. due to Korsakoff syndrome) we produce distorted memories of oneself. This may sometimes sound very believable to outsiders; the comparison with LLMs making stuff up is rather apt! So please call it confabulating instead of hallucinating when LLMs make stuff up.

Show HN: 99% cheaper international business transfers – fixed fee, real rate
17 by wdaareg | 8 comments on Hacker News.
Hello Hackers! One year ago we changed international transfers for consumers with only a fixed fee and made them on average 10x cheaper than Wise. Now we are thrilled to announce that we start “Atlantic Money for Business” to offer transfers up to £/€1m for a fixed £/€3 fee and at the current exchange rate. And while Revolut and Wise have recently raised their prices for business transfers by up to 50%, we enable savings of several thousand on every transfer. What are you waiting for?
