AIStrot is a Python library that uses an LLM once at compile time to build a frozen artifact, which then routes or classifies each record with a local decision model. The post reports 92.5% grounded routing accuracy on 398 records with the 144M-parameter Julia-1 model, compared with 74.8% for a naive baseline, at about 60 ms per record and no marginal LLM cost.

A first public release of a standalone AI app, API, open-source tool or hardware product from a startup or independent maker. Betas, waitlists and preorders are labelled. Routine updates, integrations, redesigns, fundraising and relaunch campaigns stay out.
“New company” requires evidence of a company’s debut with its first product. Otherwise a qualifying standalone launch is labelled “New product.” First spotted is the date of the earliest launch report we have, unless the launch date is explicitly established.
Our sources and reviewed suggestions determine coverage; this is not an exhaustive record of every launch. Buzz measures attention. Source counts describe coverage. Joining the tracking list gives no ranking advantage.
