Beacon PM

What it does

Most founders building AI products are making critical product decisions alone. One wrong call costs months of engineering time and runway you can't get back. Beacon PM gives you principal-level AI product thinking for a fraction of the cost of hiring — roadmap strategy, LLM feature design, PRDs, build vs buy decisions, 0→1 strategy. Async Q&A plus 3 hours of calls per month. No contracts, cancel anytime. Introductory pricing for the first few clients only.

I pressure-test AI products like a demanding real user, find where they break, and build the evals that prove how good they actually are — against your bar and against the base models.

I review AI products and features using evals, so you can get an independent read on how you perform against the base models — and find out where your product is actually reliable, where it isn't, and what to fix first. A buyer asks why they shouldn't just use GPT for this . All you have is your own benchmark — a third party review is proof they'll believe . You swap models to cut cost. Something quietly gets worse and nobody notices for a month. Your AI does something wrong in front of a real user, and they find it before you do . Same work underneath. What changes is who the results are for. A third party read on how your product performs against the base models, on the tasks your…from beaconpm.co

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  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. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
