A search engine for deleted YouTube videos (1.5B+ indexed since 2005)

In plain words

This search engine indexes over 1.5 billion deleted YouTube videos dating back to 2005, allowing users to discover and access content that is no longer available on the platform. It serves researchers, archivists, and anyone interested in finding removed videos. The tool stands out by providing access to a massive historical archive spanning more than two decades of YouTube's history, making it valuable for those seeking videos that have since been taken down.

  Semantic search for video2023 · semanticvideosearch.com · ▲77

  Hello HN Over the New Year's break, I created semanticvideosearch.com. This can search any video based on meaning and context. I would love to get your feedback on it. What should I change and what can be improved? The preprocessed videos can be search very quickly, while the youtube video links take some time (yt videos also have a upper duration limit due to compute issues). I intend to add search based on the frames of the video soon. I would love to know your thoughts on the demo and any suggestions for improvements. Thanks! PS: the inspiration to create this was to get the 2 mins of…

  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…
