Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

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…

I created vibescaffold.dev. It is a wizard-style AI tool that will guide you from idea → vision → tech spec → implementation plan. It will generate all the documents necessary for AI coding agents to understand & iteratively execute on your vision. How it works: - Step 1: Define your product vision and MVP - Step 2: AI helps create technical architecture and data models - Step 3: Generate a staged development plan - Step 4: Create an AGENTS.md for automated workflows I've used AI coding tools for awhile. Before this workflow (and now, this tool), I kept getting "close but not quite" results…

VibeShift MCP▲141Hi HN, We are the devs behind VibeShift. We have been building this MCP server to put AI coding assistants in an automatic feedback loop. They code, test, debug, fix everything until we have a fully working, secure code. It tests like a real user, copies network/console and logical errors to give them back to cursor. (1 min demo - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN_RgQGa8B0) We felt this was the natural next step for AI coding assistants. And with new asynchronous assistants like codex, having a plug & play tester makes sure you don't have to spend time debugging and…

idealane▲37Hi HN! made a vibe coding platform with the non-technical user in mind. This means that you don’t have to integrate Supabase, Auth0, it’s automatic. Our goal is to soon also provide email, payments, and other integrations automatically. We target SMB owners and entrepreneurs. We will differentiate by talking non-technical, hide code most of the time, friendly consumery UX and support Made pricing also simpler: 1 credit = 1 prompt (drives me nuts when in other platforms you don’t know what you’re paying for) Would love any thoughts!
