Atticus AI – Negotiate consulting contracts faster using GPT-4
Hi HN, My name is Darlin and along with @controtie we’ve been working on an app to make contract negotiations easier for consultants, freelancers and other individuals. Earlier this year we began consulting and found it exhausting negotiating contracts back and forth, especially when we were starting out and didn’t know what we didn’t know. Coincidentally, we were building a bunch of LLM apps and thought LLMs would be a great tool to build an app that parses and makes working with contracts easier. So far Atticus does the following: (1) Pulls out the most important terms so you don’t have to…

Atticus AI is a contract negotiation tool designed for consultants, freelancers, and individuals. Using GPT-4, it extracts key contract terms, explains legal language in plain English, identifies potential red flags, and suggests favorable adjustments. The tool aims to simplify the contract review process for those unfamiliar with legal negotiations.

Hi HN, My name is Darlin and along with @controtie we’ve been working on an app to make contract negotiations easier for consultants, freelancers and other individuals. Earlier this year we began consulting and found it exhausting negotiating contracts back and forth, especially when we were starting out and didn’t know what we didn’t know. Coincidentally, we were building a bunch of LLM apps and thought LLMs would be a great tool to build an app that parses and makes working with contracts easier. So far Atticus does the following: (1) Pulls out the most important terms so you don’t have to waste time. (2) Explain legal terms in simple language. (3) Highlights potential red flags. (4) Helps adjust terms in your favor. We’re still a long way from where we want to take Atticus but would love your feedback!

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…
