Show HN: Unify – Dynamic LLM Benchmarks and SSO for Multi-Vendor Deployment
Hey HN! I’m the founder of Unify, and we’ve just released our Model Hub, which provides a collection of LLM endpoints with live runtime benchmarks all plotted across time: https://unify.ai/hub

A key finding is that static tabular runtime benchmarks for LLMs simply do not work. It’s necessary to take a time-series perspective, and plot the variations through time.

We currently have 21 models provided by: Anyscale, Perplexity AI, Replicate, Together AI, OctoAI, Mistral AI and OpenAI, with more on the roadmap.

We test across different regions (Asia, US, Europe), with varied concurrency and sequence length. By plotting across time, our dashboard highlights the stability and variability of the different endpoints, and their ongoing evolution across API updates and system changes. Our benchmarking code is fully open source: https://github.com/unifyai/aibench-llm-endpoints

Our unified API also makes it very easy to test and deploy these different endpoints in production, without needing to create several accounts.

Our Hub is a work in progress, and we will be releasing new features every week.

What are your thoughts? Both positive and negative comments are very welcome. We’ll try to quickly incorporate all feedback!

I recorded a quick(ish) demo video a few hours ago, explaining how to get started, for those who are interested in learning more: https://youtu.be/0a6-C2_Bmh0

There is also a longer version here: https://youtu.be/o8yD_QBhmsw

Finally, as a thanks to HN readers, the promo code “HACKERNEWS” can be used to claim $5 per week in free credits, compatible with our ever expanding list of LLM providers. You can sign up here [https://console.unify.ai/], and claim the free credits here [https://unify.ai/docs/hub/home/pricing.html#top-up-code] if interested.

Thanks all!

Why would you turn it off if you're earning $70/mo?
If the market will bear the rent, why does changing the nationality of the owner improve anything?
I think what you are missing is businesses doing what businesses have always been doing: finding a niche for themselves to make a good profit.

When you can hire less lawyers and get more work done and cheaper and at the same (or better) quality, you are going to upend the market for lawyering services.

And this does not require to replace lawyers. It is just enough to equip a lawyer with a set of tools to help them quickly do the typical tasks they are doing.

I work a lot with lawyers and a lot of what they are doing is going to be stupidly easily optimised with AI tools.
Big fan of NetBox I'm not even sure how I'd manage modern infrastructures without it. Unless your environment happens to be very static it's a huge time sink to document a network using old fashion Visio diagrams. The initial setup of NetBox can be quite an undertaking though. As long as you secure them properly CDP/LLDP/etc make the process much easier. One general rule of advice make sure you keep good backups of your NetBox because it's easy to make changes with unintended consequences that take a lot of time to manually back out
Do they have plans to release this model?
Sure, but Nepali hash was being taken in a much different cultural context (religious, often) by people who were generally very prepared for its consequences.
Note that IFL = cores that only run Linux and cannot run mainframe OSes. The Telum CPU is 5Ghz and has some level of builtin inferencing accordong to their specs.

However the emphasis is going to be on single system image... you won't need to run/manage stuff, you just kick off VMs as if it is a single huge ESXi host, as I read it.
The problem with BAT tokens is they're BAT tokens. If they had just used USDC I feel like it would be much more popular.

CLIs are in the modern world a subset of GUI programs which run inside a text-oriented window, and plenty of more sophisticated GUI programs can be directed textually, with macros or short scripts, and/or have a command-line component for doing that sort of pipe or batch-oriented work.

Yeah, sometimes there's functionality stuck behind a button or menu select which I want exposed in a more textual way, in macOS that's when you break out Automator, Alfred, or Hammerspoon (the only one I've ever used fwiw), Linux and Windows have their own equivalents.

I don't think the distinction you're pointing to is nearly so stark or clear-cut as it's often made out to be. Ecosystems converge towards the tasks which are amenable to batching and pipelining being equipped to do so.
Right. Plus all the central Asian "*stans"
I agree, the statement is just poorly written. A qualifier like "awful" is only ever in relation to something else.

Statement 3 (the world can be much better) is essentially a better formulation. 4.4% is awful in relation to 0.47%, which is possible.

Heres my anecdote: the app randomly craps out when playing a podcast. Seeking randomly breaks, it is not as "fluid" as Youtube, really struggles when there is a break in data coverage which makes usage while driving a car a massive pain when you need to be focusing on the road. There are other random quibbles but this is the jist of my experience. I am so glad I can finally dump this garbage now that Rogan is coming back to youtube. I can find other sources for my music but Rogan's occasional good podcasts forced me to install this junk in the first place.

Its amazing how so many apps really struggle at the edges. For a company as big as Spotify they should do better. Its probably a side effect of their company's culture.
PVC: A KVM/Zookeeper/Ceph-based hyperconverged infrastructure manager
You are right, there is a fine balance between just enough variety to be able to achieve your vision without leaving Minecraft-style jagged edges and too much variety and specialisation so that you cannot build anything novel at all. But we also live in a time where you can easily buy boxloads of generic Lego bricks second-hand (some of it probably 20 or more years old) for almost nothing at yard sales or on a local buy-and-sell website. Lego bricks are good for 2 or 3 generations of children.
>dividing immigrants into "good ones" and "bad ones" is pretty vile

TBF that's the inherent insinuation in points / skill based immigration. The goal of immigration driven growth to is to maximize return potential via brain drain and wealth drain from other countries who foot the bill for talent development, or to extract wealth via foreign elites who accumulated wealth in host countries. When crisis reach critcal levels when it obviously becomes a class warfare issue, the solution is going to be punish the immigrants, before them become PRs or citizens. It's not the immigrants fault for policy failures, but until they get right to vote they are escape goats for bad politics.
I’m not sure that is the problem really. 70% of something is still better than 100% of nothing after all.

Something that looks a lot more compelling which came up in some comments here is that KYC regulations can be a headache for payment processors. Maybe nobody wants to deal with them for the not-so-lucrative 10c per website view market.
Happy nextdns user here who used to have an overly-complicated setup with pihole and vpns etc. The only thing I have to complain about is the iOS app- I really wish it had a builtin way for viewing logs and white/blacklisting domains from the app, without having to go to the site. (Other settings would be nice too, sure, but as aggressive as I run it I find myself fiddling with the whitelist the most)

I've used ControlD [https://controld.com/] for this and liked it. Does anyone know how NextDNS compares to it?

ControlD has worked well for me, outside a few UI complaints I have with their site. I do have some concerns with trust as I don't know much about ControlD, and I'd rather use the most trusted service for this.
So one month of AWS costs.
The article is repeating their dishonest characterization of the law.

DD chose to just add $5 to all orders; that is not what the law requires based on any sources I have found. Here's a quote from one:

> Under this PayUp policy, a pay floor must be met based on “engaged” time and miles spent on the job — from when it’s accepted/started to when it’s completed.

> Minimum compensation: Network companies must pay the greater of

> Minimum per-minute amount of $0.44 and a per-mile amount

> OR

> Minimum per-offer amount of $5

You may see a $5 there - that's the MINIMUM pay for the entire order, and it is an or, not an and. There is no obligation for them to charge an extra $5/order and pass it on to the driver.

In my experience using GrubHub after these changes, they did not raise the cost of all my orders by $5.
I remember when I had Legos I had to build whatever my mind came up with using the pieces available. We'd play with it. Then a new idea would pop in our brains about how to improve the design and we'd tear down and build back up only bigger and better. And if we got more legos or new pieces, suddenly so many new possibilities for designs. What a difference a few new pieces made.

Now they feel like model Kits. My nephew asks for Star Wars Legos, or some other franchise based legos, builds whatever the structure is according to the manual, but then doesn't take it apart and it just sits on his book shelf. Never to be touched or rebuilt, even just for the heck of it. And why should he rebuild? It's like coding the same program out of a text book in exactly the same way. Been there done that.
No. As a business owner you will hire couple lawyers, give them a bunch of programs to automate searching through texts, answering questions and writing legalese based on human description of what is the text supposed to do. These three are from my experience great majority of the work. The 2 people you hire will now perform like 10 people without tools. Then you will use part of that saved money to reduce prices and if you are business savvy, you will use the rest to research the automation further.

Then another business that wants to compete with you will no longer have an option, they will have to do this or more to be able to stay in the business at all.

Yeah, we've invented it several times over, and yet, what people buy and use is IoS crapware which craps out when the network does.

That's worse. You see how that's worse, right?

I'm still mad that they discontinued Mindstorms. My school isn't able to replace their components if they break and I cannot get additional motors for my projects any more.

Does anyone know how good their "LEGO® Education SPIKE™" stuff is? Is it as open as the NXT-bricks? Are these somewhat compatible? Linux IDE available?

I wish someone would offer a replacement for those who have a 3D-printer, rp2040 and some soldering experience. I'd help the school to re-stock their supply.

Edit: 35 € for a 2 A USB power supply is definitely Apple-ish. And those peripheral connectors look like they're … unique. Mindstorms just had standard RJ-something plugs.

Hey if you're ever looking for any DevOps people with a network engineering background LMK I'm a big fan of NetBox I think it's something I'd enjoy working on.
> You can always be a dick later, try being a human first.

This I agree with.

> I don't like being tracked on the internet, and I do everything I can to avoid it.

That's the difference. Swift could avoid being tracked by plane too, but she doesn't want to because it would mean she'd lose the advantage of having her own private jet. The price of having a private jet is having your travels tracked. There are a lot of benefits to fame, and a lot of downsides. You take the good with the bad. In the case, the bad is that people are going to know and complain about how wasteful and bad for the environment her air travel is.

Tweeting about where a public figure's private plan goes doesn't even come close to the levels of obnoxiousness that paparazzi rise to.

> As far as I know, there isn't another option except to be in the public space if I want to get somewhere.

And you have no expectation of privacy in public, which is why you are already tracked and recorded every time you step outside no matter where you go just like I am. Neither of us have the kind of money and resources to protect ourselves that celebrities do either.

Agreed. As long as the US Dollar is the global currency the Govt can simply print more money to cover that debt. Other countries cant do this however.

Just raise the ceiling as any reasonable government would do, it seems to me as if whether it was Obama or Biden or Trump who did so, the outcome was pretty much status quo for the economy and after the hoorah things went back to usual.

Republicans feed on fear it's no secret.
And I've never seen a single stalker-corp ("data broker") executive serve prison time for failing to delete data that they claimed was deleted.

Either that has literally never happened, or there's inadequate auditing/enforcement, and I don't consider the former to be plausible.
> Human challenge studies are used to test the efficacy of therapeutics and vaccines, not to test the pathogen itself.

These are the same thing. The only way to demonstrate the efficacy of a vaccine is if the control group gets sick, otherwise there can't be a relative improvement.

(That's why reported vaccine efficacy goes down over time; as people naturally get the disease it appears to be relatively less effective as some of them get natural immunity.)
I've seen this sentiment time and time again, but careful examination of the actual pieces and sets, excluding the obviously marketed to adults sets shows them just as adjustable and combinable as I remember them being when given to kids.

My ability to see what is latent and possible in the pile has decreased, but my kids have what seems to me to be quite the same amount of fun I did when I ways young.

There's even now an entire Lego line dedicated to "3 in 1" where the parts have three possible buildouts: https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/creator-3-in-1

A general trick for bringing up the captive portal manually is to browse to a non ssl url such as http://example.com

It's not either/or.

I have numerous issues with both. Would be happy if more Americans had issues with either.
Can't tell if this is satire or if you're being serious...

Just in case you're being serious, you realize that people can already imagine others naked in public or just snap a picture or video of them using their phone and upload it to your AI undressing service.

It being strapped to your head adds absolutely nothing, and you might be projecting your own fantasies.
The tricky part that it's not always clear who will be the best internal advocate.

Sometimes, it's the manager because they benefit the most from hiring you and the organization probably values their opinion, but some managers are pushovers with zero people skills and will be useless.

Sometimes, it's the recruiter because they are the most experienced with the hiring process and know what wheels to grease; sometimes they're useless because recruiters are often viewed as interchangeable cogs.
What's your intuition for 2024?
American in Canada.

One of the work permit paths is points-based -- "Express Entry". There are plenty of other ways, and there are programs like the Temporary Foreign Worker (contemptuously referred to as TFWs), who bring in lots of low skilled workers. Lots of Filipino coffee-slingers working at Tim Horton's (a fast food chain), for example.

Immigration also isn't the problem, the problem is the boomers buying up all of the housing, and large corporations (many of which are foreign) buying up the rest. This is combined with Canada's climate and geography -- aka most of the country is uninhabitable in any real sense -- which concentrates the population in a handful of markets where the prices are absurd.
This comment is deeply saddening because of how true it is. This is exactly what has driven me to become a FOSS enthusiast, but sometimes I can't help but feel hopeless about the future of tech in general.
The handful of moderately large instances that have shut down rhat I'm aware of gave long notices, in a couple of cases over a year, before actually going offline.

The only notable counterexample I remember was BitcoinHackers.org shutting down suddenly with a note saying "haha look at how easy it is for mastodon instances to shut down go use nostr", making it a self-fulfilling prophecy in that case. If you have other examples I would like to know about them.
Apple doesn't sell general purpose computing devices anymore
Are there better numbers? It seems like these track existing conventional wisdom about the recent crime burst, no? You're just trying to throw out the last 2 years showing a decline? Is that really a reasonable argument?

Obviously yes, there's an apples/oranges problem with comparing data sets collected in different countries under different law enforcement regimes, etc...

But between e.g. 2022 and 2017 in San Francisco specifically? I don't see the argument.

(Also important to note that while "Larceny" might be plausibly related to police ignoring crime, other things like "Murder" are very much not if you aren't accusing the police of hiding bodies. And violent crime shows the same trend.)
> It took ~5 years from when people in the NLP literature noticed BERT and knew the powerful applications that were coming, until the public at large was aware of the developments via ChatGPT. It may take another 5 before the public sees the developments happening now in the literature hit something in a companies web UI.

It also may take 10, 20, 50, or 100 years. Or it may never actually happen. Or it may happen next month.

The issue with predicting technological advances is that no one knows how long it'll take to solve a problem until it's actually solved. The tech world is full of seemingly promising technologies that never actually materialized.

Which isn't to say that generative AI won't improve. It probably will. But until those improvements actually arrive, we don't know what those improvements will be, or how long it'll take. Which ultimately means that we can only judge generative AI based on what's actually available. Anything else is just guesswork.
With that kind of tomorrowist mindset it'll be too late. We need to make changes and we need to make them yesterday.
There is a selection bias driving the conversation itself. The people most likely to voice a criticism about a given subject are the people who are most engaged with that subject.

Engagement itself is diverse. It can be driven by genuine interest, and it can be generated by political narrative.

What is most important is the criticism itself. Is it valuable? To whom? The more people there are voicing criticisms, the more difficult it is to answer these questions.

The usefulness of democracy is that we can coordinate our criticisms into coherent proposals, and vote on them.

The tragedy of democracy is that we must coordinate our criticisms into coherent proposals, and vote on them.
I was on a gig interviewing a doctor co-op. It was similar in that it was an upfront subscription plus co-pays per visit. They had a staff of MDs, more nurse practioners, and a staff of nurses. They also had a couple of psychiatrists on staff as well. The upfront subscription was still lower than an actual insurance plan. The only downside for me that I could see in the idea was it was not available in my city.

Hmm, I think that'd be pretty difficult because you can't guarantee the camera on another phone is good enough, unless you require everyone to have a phone from the last 1-2 years.
