Hey HN,

I would like to extract structured information from captured audio on a device that is not too expensive (a small LLM would be an option, I got an old NVidia 1660 Super with 6GB VRAM).

OpenAI Whisper could be used to get the audio contents as text, but I don't really know how I could reliably extract the information in a structured way. There is always a "purpose", which is selected out of let's say 10 possible purposes and "required data", which is depending on the purpose and composed by key value pairs, that also have predefined values.

An example (spoken text):

Please apply for leave from 1st November to 8th november. Result (structured data):

{ purpose: "apply for leave", data: { start: "2025-11-01", end: "2025-11-08" } } What are my options to do this in a reliable way that can match different purposes with different data by "best match" approach?

I'm building a Universal Billing Dashboard for all AI Services. So far, the MVP is live and it's a WIP (want to add a lot more including hooking up available billing/cost APIs provided by the listed platforms but some don't have any so I thought of a way around that for now). Would love feedback on it!

I've just released rust-loguru, a logging library for Rust that aims to combine intuitive API design (inspired by Go/Python's Loguru) with Rust's performance characteristics.

Some highlights:

- Consistently outperforms the standard log crate by 50-80% in benchmarks. - Multiple log levels and an extensible handler system -File rotation with better performance than log4rs and other alternatives - Error handling utilities and context helpers

I built this because I wanted a logger that was both ergonomic to use and high-performance. The benchmarks comparing it to slog, log, and tracing are available in the repo.

I'd appreciate any feedback, especially on the API design and performance characteristics. Are there any features you'd like to see added to the roadmap? [GitHub Link: https://github.com/j-raghavan/rust-loguru] [Crates.io: https://crates.io/crates/rust-loguru]
