Profile

Hey HN,We’re Volodymyr and Volodymyr—two developers from Ukraine building WhiteLightning. It’s a tool that turns large LLMs (Claude 4, Grok 4, GPT-4o via OpenRouter) into tiny ONNX text classifiers that run anywhere—even on drones at the edge.Why we built this: Many developers want custom models (spam filters, sentiment analysis, PII detection, moderation tools), but don’t want to deal with constant API calls or deploy heavy models in production.How it works: WhiteLightning uses LLMs to generate training data and distills it into KB-sized ONNX models you can run on any device and in any language. Just describe your task in a sentence, grab the ONNX model, and run it locally—Python, JS, Rust,

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
