AI-enabled Pointer

What it does

An experimental Gemini-powered pointer from Google DeepMind. Point at text, images, tables, products, or places, then use natural shorthand like “move this” or “compare these” without dragging everything into a separate AI window.

The mouse pointer has been a constant companion on computer screens, across every website, document and workflow. Despite how technologies have changed, the pointer has barely evolved in more than half a century. We’ve been exploring new AI-powered capabilities to help the pointer not only understand what it’s pointing at, but also why it matters to the user. Our goal is to address a common frustration: because a typical AI tool lives in its own window, users need to drag their world into it. We want the opposite: intuitive AI that meets users across all the tools they use, without interrupting their flow. For example, imagine pointing to an image of a building, and requesting “Show me…from deepmind.google

  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…
