General AI tools are built for everything. Ask This Book is designed specifically for reading, understanding, and returning to ideas from books over time. Return to ideas weeks later without losing the context of the book you were exploring. Every response points back to the exact passage — chapter, page, the author's actual words. Nothing invented.

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.
