We’re Sam and Josh, and we’re building a platform for better LLMs for code and technical tasks.\n\n## **TLDR:**\n\n[Lune AI](https://www.lune.dev/) is a platform to find and train Lunes, or expert LLMs on any technical topic for code. We outperform the accuracy of standalone foundational models by [37%](https://www.lune.dev/blog/lune-evaluation).\n\nHere’s a [**demo**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zwokp23C3ek):\n\n## **The Problem:**\n\nLLMs **hallucinate** on material outside their training data, which often leads to inaccurate answers to technical questions related to code. Whether it’s working with a new library, or the ever changing nature of software documentation, every developer has **wasted time** on hallucinated LLM outputs.\n\n## **Lune Web:**\n\nOn Lune Web, users can find a [marketplace](https://chat.lune.dev/explore) of community trained Lunes on **hundreds** of the most popular libraries and Github repositories for developers. In a concept similar to OpenAI’s GPT store, users that train popular Lunes receive monthly payouts in a **revenue share program**.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85640\u0026key=user_uploads/1758131/9b8e2428-b02e-4247-a5bc-f8746504e7f1)\n\nWhen interacting with Lunes on the web, users can also **receive payouts** for leaving feedback on Lune performance and contributing their own expertise to specific Lunes. This direct community driven feedback loop continuously improves the accuracy of our models.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85640\u0026key=user_uploads/1758131/0a27c84c-44d0-477a-a4db-3d3ccf8c6da1)\n\n## **Lune API:**\n\nIn addition to Lune Web, we offer API access to our proprietary automatic context switching model, Tycho as well as all public Lunes. Tycho is our context switching model that **automatically determines** the right Lunes to retrieve information from given a user query, in order to provide the most accurate answer. \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85640\u0026key=user_uploads/1758131/0fb0ab51-5d7c-4578-8174-21d5e9563ff0)\n\nOur API is hot swappable with OpenAI, which means our users can [integrate](https://docs.lune.dev/docs/external-integrations/cursor) Tycho into any IDE, tool, or client that **supports OpenAI compatible APIs** with a personal API key, such as Cursor, Continue, and other AI client SDKs. \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85640\u0026key=user_uploads/1758131/4de9c6f0-f8a8-4015-99ef-18034e454ede)\n\nProject keys with our API can be used to easily integrate backend applications and workflows where **superior accuracy and minimized hallucinations** for technical topics are necessary. For example, generating compliable, front-end code with context from various pip packages or libraries.\n\n## **About Us:**\n\nWe are brothers who have been working together our whole lives, starting out with Lego projects. We both dropped out of Harvard because we believed that there is a very near future where AI + Coding can lead to 10x better productivity for the world. We want to make that a reality.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85640\u0026key=user_uploads/1758131/da7c5a23-106f-4f64-bf42-1dfa460be8ca)\n\n## **Our Ask:**\n\nIf you code and you have experienced LLM hallucinations, hate reading through dense documentation and Github repos, give [Lune AI](https://www.lune.dev/) a try!\n\nIf you are building a product that uses LLMs for generating code or other technical tasks and want a hot-swappable, more accurate alternative, reach out to me at [sam@lune.dev](mailto:sam@lune.dev)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85640\u0026key=user_uploads/1758131/d27e21bd-d15d-4a94-aa1f-28e0c1d7a1d9)\n\n","slug":"MHI-lune-ai-better-llms-for-code-and-technical-tasks","created_at":"2024-11-17T23:50:44.658Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T00:54:37.322Z","total_vote_count":86,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/MHI-lune-ai-better-llms-for-code-and-technical-tasks","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=85640\u0026key=user_uploads/1758131/d27e21bd-d15d-4a94-aa1f-28e0c1d7a1d9","company":{"id":30047,"name":"Endstack","slug":"endstack","url":"https://www.endstack.com","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/3b2d3d74e1b66a985b5ff4da594128358d243158.png","batch":"Fall 2024","industry":"B2B","tags":["Artificial Intelligence","Developer Tools","Generative AI","AI Assistant"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/30047"}}
