Anki AI Utils
Hi hn, I am nearly at the end of medical school so it is time I publish and "advertise" my open source scripts/apps for anki! Here's the pitch: Anki AI Utils is a suite of AI-powered tools designed to automatically improve cards you find challenging. Whether you're studying medicine, languages, or any complex subject, these tools can: - Explain difficult concepts with clear, ChatGPT-generated explanations. - Illustrate key ideas using Dall-E or Stable Diffusion-generated images. - Create mnemonics tailored to your memory style, including support for the Major System. - Reformulate…
In plain words
Anki AI Utils is an open-source suite of tools that enhances flashcards using AI to help learners master challenging material. It generates explanations, creates illustrations, develops personalized mnemonics, and rewrites unclear cards. Designed for medical students, language learners, and anyone studying complex subjects, the tools use semantic similarity to identify struggling cards and adapt memory techniques to individual learning styles. Available on GitHub, it automates card improvement through ChatGPT, Dall-E, and Stable Diffusion integration.

Hi hn, I am nearly at the end of medical school so it is time I publish and "advertise" my open source scripts/apps for anki! Here's the pitch: Anki AI Utils is a suite of AI-powered tools designed to automatically improve cards you find challenging. Whether you're studying medicine, languages, or any complex subject, these tools can: - Explain difficult concepts with clear, ChatGPT-generated explanations. - Illustrate key ideas using Dall-E or Stable Diffusion-generated images. - Create mnemonics tailored to your memory style, including support for the Major System. - Reformulate poorly worded cards for clarity and better retention. Key Features: - Adaptive Learning: Uses semantic similarity to match cards with relevant examples. - Personalized Memory Hooks: Builds on your existing mnemonics for stronger recall. - Automation Ready: Run scripts daily to enhance cards you struggled with. - Universal Compatibility: Works across all Anki clients (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS). Example: For a flashcard about febrile seizures, Anki AI Utils can: - Generate a Dall-E illustration of a toddler holding a teacup next to a fireplace. - Create mnemonics like "A child stumbles near the fire, dances symmetrically, has one strike, and fewer than three fires." - Provide an explanation of why febrile seizures occur and their diagnostic criteria. Call for Contributors: This project is battle-tested but needs help to become a polished Anki addon. If you’re a developer or enthusiast, join us to make these tools more accessible!

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…
