Show HN: MAItion – Open-source RAG with pluggable connectors and chat UIhttps://github.com/WikiTeq/mAItionHey HN,We wanted to share a new tool we’ve been working on.Even when documentation is well-structured, sometimes it’s hard to find what you need. Information ends up spread across wikis, cloud drives, chat tools, ticketing systems, etc., and search can break down as info grows.mAItion is our attempt to solve that. It’s a way to unify search and retrieval across the systems that teams already use. It's an open-source alternative to tools like Glean and GetGuru, but it’s designed to be flexible, lightweight, self-hostable, and easier to adapt.What it does:- Ingests data from all the connected sources and builds vector and BM25 index- Converts the data into markdown (using MarkItDown, configurable)- Lets you run Hybrid search across the data stored via API or MCP- Lets you chat with the data using Open Web UI as a frontend (bundled) or connect other arbitrary chat UI- Keeps the data fresh using scalable Celery workers (per source schedules)- Deduplicates documents over sources during ingeApr 29, 2026 10:26 PM

Show HN: Nv – workspace orchestrator for jj built for parallel agent workflowshttps://github.com/eersnington/jj-navihowdy y'all,i've been deep in jj for a while and been experimenting with jj workspaces for parallel workflows. it's more intuitive than git worktrees but it still has a couple of gotchas that have been a hindrance to my ideal workflow.so I built jj-navi - a tiny rust based cli that makes jj workspace orchestration a lot less pain in the ass.key bits: - `navi switch ` -> creates/switchs workspaces and cds into them automatically (via shell integration) - `navi list` -> shows insertions/deletions across workspaces and also runs jj snapshot (so you don't see stale work)check it out here at: https://github.com/eersnington/jj-navi (note: url at the top is a git.new one)also, this is heavily inspired by worktrunk (still my daily driver replacement for git worktrees) and jj-ryu by dillon mulroy from the orange cloud forking company.would love y'alls feedback, especially from heavy jj + agent users. feel free to open up issues on gh or hit me up on X.Apr 29, 2026 9:47 PM

Show HN: GrandPerspective-style treemaps for the web and disk usage visualizerhttps://imbue-ai.github.io/gp-treemap/gallery/I like treemaps for visualizing hierarchical mass and density of resource usage. I've always particularly loved GrandPerspective's dense, colorful rendering, but haven't found a similar but generalized treemap that works in reactive web views across many data visualization contexts.So I built gp-treemap, a canvas-based web component that renders GP-style treemaps with millions of nodes: https://github.com/imbue-ai/gp-treemap/If you want to give it a spin, try something like this command to visualize hierarchical disk usage:npx -p @imbue-ai/gp-treemap gpdu ~/DownloadsFun fact: I built gp-treemap as a test case for Imbue's Sculptor (https://imbue.com/sculptor/) and Blueprint (https://imbue.com/product/blueprint) tools.Apr 29, 2026 4:43 PM

Show HN: A new benchmark for testing LLMs for deterministic outputshttps://interfaze.ai/blog/introducing-structured-output-benchmarkWhen building workflows that rely on LLMs, we commonly use structured output for programmatic use cases like converting an invoice into rows or meeting transcripts into tickets or even complex PDFs into database entries.The model may return the schema you want, but with hallucinated values like `invoice_date` being off by 2 months or the transcript array ordered wrongly. The JSON is valid, but the values are not.Structured output today is a big part of using LLMs, especially when building deterministic workflows.Current structured output benchmarks (e.g., JSONSchemaBench) only validate the pass rate for JSON schema and types, and not the actual values within the produced JSON.So we designed the Structured Output Benchmark (SOB) that fixes this by measuring both the JSON schema pass rate, types, and the value accuracy across all three modalities, text, image, and audio.For our test set, every record is paired with a JSON Schema and a ground-truth answer that was verified against the souApr 29, 2026 4:01 PM

Ask HN: Mining Scientific Papershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47949379What are peoples' experiences with using LLMs to mine information from scientific papers?My own experience: I first attempted to extract the anti-drug antibody (ADA) rate from each of 3730 clinical-trial papers, all indexed in PubMed. I started from PDFs. Claude Opus 4.7 analyzed each PDF using a written rules doc that we had formulated. Running all the papers took about a week because I kept hitting session limits; the total cost was ~$25 (USD). We got actual rates from 909 papers. The rest were mostly cases where the rate was not present or did not meet our criteria, including administering only one drug at a time.I read thirty of the papers and re-read those where I got a different answer from Claude, concluding that it had erred one time and I had erred three times.So this works, but is not totally convenient: session limits mean that I can't start it up and walk away. Or I don't know how to engineer this capability. In addition I was curious how local models would perform.To that Apr 29, 2026 2:59 PM
