KV-psi, a method using Linux PSI (Pressure Stall Information) to trim an LLM KV cache.
A technique to optimize LLM runtime memory usage, particularly for edge devices with unified memory like the Jetson Orin super nano kit.
This addresses a critical performance and resource management challenge for deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) on constrained hardware, specifically edge devices. The pain point is inefficient memory utilization, particularly the KV cache, which impacts LLM inference speed and feasibility on ...

An experimental file compression method using an overfitted transformer and arithmetic coding to memorize and compress individual files.
A novel approach to file compression that achieves high ratios (e.g., 100MB CSV to 7MB) by training a small transformer to 'memorize a single file and predict the next byte.'
This experiment demonstrates a specialized, high-ratio file compression technique with significant B2B potential, despite its current performance limitations. The ability to compress a 100MB CSV to 7MB is compelling for industries dealing with large, repetitive datasets, such as financial logs, s...

Puzzle with Strangers, a free, anonymous multiplayer jigsaw game.
A 'free multiplayer jigsaw' designed for 'anonymous' and 'social/collaborative' play, emphasizing universal appeal and ease of understanding ('zero explanation').
This is a consumer game. However, the underlying concept of 'anonymous multiplayer' and 'social/collaborative performance' could inform B2B applications in team building, virtual collaboration tools, or interactive training platforms. The idea of 'games that need zero explanation' is valuable for...

The Weave Router, an intelligent model router for coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) that dynamically selects the optimal LLM for inference requests.
Intelligently sends requests to the best model to serve them, reducing AI inference costs ('saved 40% on tokens') without sacrificing quality or velocity. It acts as an Anthropic/OpenAI endpoint for coding agents.
The Weave Router addresses a critical enterprise challenge: managing escalating LLM inference costs while maintaining performance for AI coding agents. By intelligently routing requests to cheaper, faster models for routine tasks and frontier models for complex ones, it delivers a tangible 40% co...

Git-lazy-mount, a tool that allows mounting a Git repository without fully cloning it, fetching files only when needed, inspired by Google3's monorepo approach. It includes `sgrep` for remote code search.
Enables 'google3 style repo clones work with Git,' making it 'super useful for very large repos that need to be cloned for AI coding sessions' by keeping 'microVMs... lean and start up much faster.' It works with 'normal Git commands.'
Git-lazy-mount addresses a critical developer pain point in large-scale software development and AI-assisted coding: the overhead of managing massive monorepos. By enabling 'lazy' fetching of files, it significantly reduces the startup time and resource consumption of development environments, pa...

Hypequery, a type-safe semantic layer for ClickHouse analytics, implemented as a TypeScript library.
A type-safe semantic layer in code for ClickHouse, offering 'no platform to adopt, no YAML sprawl.' It defines metrics once, compiles to ClickHouse SQL, and is multi-tenancy, authentication, and agent-native ready.
Hypequery addresses a critical pain point in enterprise data analytics: inconsistent metric definitions and operational overhead from traditional semantic layers. Its code-first, library-based approach eliminates platform adoption and YAML sprawl, appealing to developers prioritizing lean, integr...

DeepSeek V4 Flash, an open-source LLM.
DeepSeek V4 Flash is an open-source, text-only LLM that inverts the economics of agent products by offering superior performance (vs. Sonnet, Gemini 3 Flash) at significantly lower costs, enabling developers to avoid "big model lab tax."
DeepSeek V4 Flash represents a significant market disruption in the LLM space, shifting power dynamics from large model labs to developers. Its open-source nature and competitive performance (beating Sonnet, comparable to Gemini 3 Flash) at drastically reduced costs (100x decrease, $0.002/1M cach...
