Aptura AI | Full-Time | MTS (Applied AI), MTS (SWE / Product) | London | ONSITE / HYBRID

We build the evaluation datasets and RL environments that make AI reliable where mistakes are expensive: finance, healthcare, and legal.

We design expert-curated training data, calibrated rubrics, and RL environments for nearly every frontier AI lab as well as startups pushing the frontier of what models can do.

We're a small London-based team running multiple active projects, so what you ship gets used immediately by labs, startups and internal domain experts. We recently launched SpreadsheetBench v2 (Kimi k3 model card) and work on ultra long-horizon tasks.

We're hiring:

* MTS, Applied AI — design the next benchmarks and RL environments — https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/aptura/c299e1f2-cdb4-4842-b5f3-8aa6...

* MTS, SWE / Product — build the platform behind every dataset — https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/aptura/cd6b6df2-1a75-442e-83b3-2ae0...

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/deadlines-live-countdown/id6502345576

On iOS you can only filter by Calendar, but I wanted more control to only show my important events / deadlines to keep an overview.Thats why I made Deadlines: A widget app that syncs with Apple Calendar & Reminders and allows you to filter them by keyword (supports Regex). Staying always up to date without any extra work from your side.Nowadays I just add #track or similar as a note to my...

Show HN: I Made a Multilingual First Words App with a Dictionary and Midjourney

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/first-words-multilingual/id6471679858

My friends wanted their toddler to learn her first words in English, German and Vietnamese, but they couldn't find any good books for this combination. So I decided to help them by creating an app for their "first words" journey.The app is like a customisable board book:A realistic picture on the left page, then the word in 1 to 4 languages of your choice on the right page. When you tap on the...

Show HN: Rules – Shortcuts Automation Based on Calendar Events

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rules-shortcuts-based-on-event/id6461118886?mt=12

Read and thought once too often that "This would be trivial if Calendar Events were triggers for Personal Shortcuts Automations". So decided to create a Mac app for it.The app works similar to Rules in Mail:- Specify some conditions (e.g. Calendar is "Work", Location contains "zoom")- Choose shortcuts to run on events that meet the conditions - you can have multiple actions, each with a...

> It is priced at $0.002 per 1k tokens

So it would be $900 per day

For each size there is a ".en" and a multilingual one. I'm using the multilingual one -> you talk in German and receive a German transcript. On page 23 of the paper you can see the WER's of each language (https://cdn.openai.com/papers/whisper.pdf) I limited my app to the languages that had a max of around 20% WER.

Sure if the repo has a xcodeproj you can just open it in XCode, change the signing and improve on it. (Just make sure to always respect the licenses) If you want to play with whisper.cpp you can use this SwiftUI demo: https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/tree/master/example...

Show HN: Whisper.cpp and YAKE to Analyse Voice Reflections [iOS]

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fouryou-guided-audio-journal/id1671616134

Six months ago, I went full-time indie, but I haven't released anything so far. The products just never felt good enough for me to publicly say this is what I'm doing now.To get out of this mindset, I decided to make an app for myself in a week, add monetization, release it and move on. The app idea was simple: Reflect on your day by answering the same four questions out loud. The answers are...
