Re:Show HN: Cyckle (v1.2.0): CSV analysis and more on Tuesday May 13, 2025 @05:46PM (#43978116)
Felt like this needed a deeper look into what this even is:

Cyckle is an AI wrapper built in Cython, it runs local LLMs like Phi-3.5, and can analyze CSVs without sending anything to the cloud. All open-source.

Currently works on Debian (I recommend 13 as that was what I am running right now, but 12 should work fine. If it doesn't, let me know in the repo!)

And I, for now, welcome our new robotic corporate overlords.
I like the gradient :3
Re:Meta's Llama license is still not Open Source on Tuesday May 13, 2025 @05:14PM (#43977810)
It's honestly saddening to see companies calling their projects "fully free and open source" when in reality, they aren't fully open source. Of course, not all companies are contributors to this, as Microsoft Phi (One of my favorites!) is open source. But hey, at least we have good ol actually open source Llama 2!
Re:Ask HN: Should I open source or not? on Tuesday April 22, 2025 @07:47PM (#43767360)
Yes. Put it under a license that requires attribution (like MIT) and open source it. These kinds of software are better if open so that more people can analyze and implement similar technology to make software more accessible.
I'm a bit new to this stuff, but SQL and 3D GRAPHICS???
I've seen AI do this before, it's pretty funny lol. When I was coding my Phi3 wrapper, I used some funky generation parameters and it would generate random sentences until it reached the max token amount.

Pretty fun, right?
