What it does

AlsonAI now supports poetry, spoken word, rhymes, and writing that doesn’t fit a traditional story arc. Instead of forcing every idea into a narrative, AlsonAI learns when not to write—respecting line breaks, repetition, pacing, and the creator’s voice while helping turn their words into a polished illustrated book. It’s a creative assistant built to add value without getting in the way.

Bring your stories to life with AI illustration & animation. Alson.AI transforms your stories into life with creativity and technology

Long before most children know what a plot is, they understand rhythm. They repeat a line because it feels good in their mouth. They laugh when words rhyme. They memorize nursery rhymes, prayers, songs, and playground chants long before anyone explains that what they're hearing is poetry. For a lot of us, poetry is the first storytelling we ever meet. It teaches us that a few carefully chosen words can hold an entire world. A moon can become an uncle. A puddle can become an ocean. A feeling you could never quite explain suddenly fits inside four lines. But a poem isn't just a shorter story. It may have no beginning, middle, or end, no central character, no plot in the usual sense. Its…from alson.ai

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • 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…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
