10K English words traced to 4 foundations(Space, Time, Energy, Pattern)

Think of each concept as sitting in a cloud of related words and ideas. The atlas keeps only the load-bearing connections — the simpler ideas you'd need to understand it first. Follow those edges down and every concept lands on one of four foundations: Space, Time, Energy, Pattern. The depth of that chain gives you a rough sense of where the concept sits in the emergent hierarchy.

    I made a 3D visual "thesaurus" for English2023 · seesaurus.com · ▲19

    Just a fun toy I wanted to make. I've been studying and playing around with language models lately and have always been intrigued by how words are processed by these models. Since the vectors generated by embedding models is in very high dimensional space, I thought it would be cool to reduce them to 3D vectors and visualise them myself. This is what I have so far!

  • I mapped 8.5M research papers into an interactive atlasJul 2026 · tomesphere.com · ▲85

    When I read papers, I have to jump between multiple tabs to find the dataset, code, videos, peer reviews, and so on. I tried to fix this with this project. It started as a project just for papers on arXiv, but after its initial success on Twitter (got like 1.9k views: the most I have gotten for a post), I have now expanded it to include other openly available papers from PubMed Central, bioRxiv, medRxiv, and eLife. These papers have been linked with their genes, proteins, diseases, drugs, clinical trials, 3D protein structures, code, and cited and similar papers. This project now has four…

  • 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…
