   Gemini 2.5 Flash▲369

   I built a small project that integrates Gemini Flash Image but makes it more affordable to use compared to the official API. It allows you to generate high-quality images with the same model, and also provides simple editing features for refining results. The goal is to make experimenting with Google’s image model cheaper and more accessible for people who create a lot of images.

   Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

   Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…

   Gemini CLI▲224

   A simple weekend project, to check if chat conversation could be used on CLI. Uses Google Gemini's gemini-2.0-flash model. Configs will make it nicer, but I wanted to keep it simple to test and launch for now. I can add things for you :) Please give it a try!

    Parallel Code▲159

    I kept running into a structural problem with AI coding tools. You try one agent. It makes changes. You try another. Now you're manually diffing branches and cleaning up experimental commits. The tools are powerful, but the workflow isn’t designed for comparison. So I built Parallel Code. It runs Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI natively (no API wrapper, no feature abstraction), but isolates each agent in: its own terminal its own Git worktree its own feature branch The workflow becomes: Spawn N worktrees Assign one AI agent per worktree Let them implement independently Compare diffs Merge…

    Mysti – Claude, Codex, and Gemini debate your code, then synthesize▲216

    Hey HN! I'm Baha, creator of Mysti. The problem: I pay for Claude Pro, ChatGPT Plus, and Gemini but only one could help at a time. On tricky architecture decisions, I wanted a second opinion. The solution: Mysti lets you pick any two AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini) to collaborate. They each analyze your request, debate approaches, then synthesize the best solution. Your prompt → Agent 1 analyzes → Agent 2 analyzes → Discussion → Synthesized solution Why this matters: each model has different training and blind spots. Two perspectives catch edge cases one would miss. It's like pair…

    A CLI to use any model in your coding agent▲5

    Hi everyone, I've been working on a CLI tool that can help to easily run any model in claude, Codex, Gemini, Pi, and OpenCode. It's also an API keys manager, supports multiple providers or OpenAI/Claude/Gemini accounts. You can add openrouter, poe, Vercel AI gateways etc. It has a built-in provider that is free to all, which is using Deepseek-V4, no login or API key required, add your own when you're ready. After installation you can try claude instantly (No config, no login): aivo claude Hope it's useful to someone.

    Gemini Cursor – A Multimodal AI Cursor for Your Desktop (Open Source)▲22

    I built Gemini Cursor, an open-source multimodal AI cursor that guides users through tasks on their desktop by pointing and speaking. It leverages Gemini 2.0 Flash and Google's live multimodal API to analyze what's on screen and provide real-time assistance. In this demo, my friend tries to add a payment method to Amazon, and the AI cursor walks them through the entire process with visual cues and spoken instructions. I've also used it to interpret diagrams from research papers—curious to see what other use cases people find this useful for! Demo:…
