Artifex - Graph Based GPU Harness for AI Agents
Artifex is a machine-first, headless CLI runtime built for autonomous coding agents to author, validate, and render media node graphs locally. The agent talks to Artifex through a structured CLI interface. Workflows are DAGs, and each node is a plugin that can implement its own execution logic.. Each node has capability to inject logic into graph processing, WebGPU rendering, audio processing and their own SKILL.md file. Nodes can also inject their react components (not available with CLI) - which will be available with the desktop app. Execution is topological and supports checkpoint…
What it does
Gatewai is a visual node-based workflow editor for creating AI-powered media pipelines. Generate, compose, and render video, audio, images, and text on an infinite canvas.

Artifex is a machine-first, headless CLI runtime built for autonomous coding agents to author, validate, and render media node graphs locally. The agent talks to Artifex through a structured CLI interface. Workflows are DAGs, and each node is a plugin that can implement its own execution logic.. Each node has capability to inject logic into graph processing, WebGPU rendering, audio processing and their own SKILL.md file. Nodes can also inject their react components (not available with CLI) - which will be available with the desktop app. Execution is topological and supports checkpoint caching via state flags (--state and --from-state), allowing agents to adjust layout coordinates or downstream filters without recomputing expensive and long upstream generation calls (such as Video Generation using Fal AI or an Agent Node using OpenRouter). Multi-track visual composition timeline with animations, blending, media cut, crop, color LUTs, filter graphs, audio effects and other media editing node's are compiled and rendered directly on the local GPU runtime, ensuring deterministic offline execution and intermediate artifacts at each step of the pipeline. The CLI[0] is not fully open source yet, but its repository contains the build bundle. The plan is to make it open source after we decouple it from our monorepo that powers our web application [1]. Our roadmap also contains a SDK for agents/programmers to build plugins locally in their own filesystem for custom use-cases. [0]: https://github.com/gatewai-dev/artifex [1]: https://gatewai.studio

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…
