Benchmarking Runpod cloud GPUs

People David Idea Exploring cloud GPU performance, cost, and usability for running open-source AI models (in comparison to local hardware and in context of recent learning on software to handle concurrent users) Details * Compared RunPod serverless and pods using Nvidia (vLLM) and AMD (sglang) * Benchmarked Nvidia 3090, 4090, RTX 6000

Comparing Onyx vs Morphik (whole PMF Deep Research)

People: * David Idea: * Comparing two open-source projects, Onyx and Morphik, for self-hosted semantic search (and deep research) across Google Drive files (PDFs, Docs, Sheets, and Slides) Details: * Onyx: Great text-based search, flexible embedding models * Morphik: Powerful multi-modal search (text, images, graphs) * Onyx easily connects and syncs with Google Drive * Morphik

Designing Po‘owai with Magicpatterns.com

A Real-World Test of Prompt-to-UI AI Creating a usable interface for a brand-new app often eats up early project time. To see how far AI can shorten that stage, we pointed Magicpatterns.com at a brand idea called Po‘owai, a cash-flow tool for non-profits that have to juggle restricted

From Bolt.ai to Your Laptop in Four Easy Steps

Bringing the Ho‘omo‘o App Home — No Tech Jargon Required You played with Ho‘omo‘o in Bolt.ai’s browser editor and now you’d like to run it on your own computer and save it on GitHub for safekeeping. Good news: it’s basically a three-minute job.

(Post-WIP) How to evaluate inference engines

* People * David * Idea * For a given set of local LLM models that a set of users (or community) wants to use - how do you measure performance/UX on ways to serve it (based on ease of use, speed of processing and generation, level of accuracy, and features like multi-user-context
