    I've been building a personal AI assistant for my self that's accessible over iMessage. It's accessible on every Apple device and even CarPlay, which has been super useful and seamless to switch between devices and keep the conversation going. Anyways, I've found it useful and I've been slowly adding features. And now happy to release it more widely. It has no signups and collects no identifying info (except a hash of your iMessage phone/email of course). It remembers your preferences and instructions, so it can give better assistance over time. Under the hood, Olly uses SERP-powered…

    I’ve been playing around with local LLMs for the past couple of months and decided to build something that can run on an iPhone. It’s a universal app built with SwiftUI and the excellent ggml library. The model is an SFT fine tuned and 4 bit quantised version of the RedPajama-INCITE-Chat-3B-v1 OSS LLM. It works reasonably well on recent-ish (~3 year old) iPhones, iPads and Macs. It was launched on the App Store yesterday[1] and Product Hunt today[2]. It seems to be reasonably ok at natural language interactions, but given its size, does pretty badly at coding and reasoning. Also, it…

    Hi HN, I’ve been working on a project called EchoStream, and I’d love to share it with you. As an AI startup founder, the first thing I do every morning is open Hacker News. I look for what other founders are building, check out new GitHub projects, and explore new products. But I started noticing that it was taking me the whole morning just to get through it all. I began to wonder: could an AI help me read Hacker News more efficiently? Could it summarize everything so I can quickly scan through, and then dive deeper into what interests me? And more than that—could it store what I’ve seen so…
