BeSanta, Real time Santa Claus AI avatars on your iPhone

I am the founder of animato.ai and just released "BeSanta", an iPhone app that you can use to create custom Santa Claus videos in real time, to bring some surprise and joy to your kids. The Santa Claus characters were made with generative AI and run on the phone neural engine in 16ms or something like that. Tired of the endless lines at the mall for meeting Santa Claus? Check it out :)

In plain words

BeSanta is an iPhone app that generates custom Santa Claus videos in real time using AI characters. Parents can create personalized messages from Santa for their children without visiting shopping malls. The app runs AI processing directly on the device's neural engine, delivering results in milliseconds. It's designed to provide a convenient, personalized holiday experience for families.

  • 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…
