BuddyAI – Your Nighttime Walking Companion
Hey HN, We're thrilled to introduce BuddyAI, a project that has two technical co-founders. BuddyAI is an AI-powered virtual companion designed to provide women walking alone at night with a sense of security and companionship. Our buddy can chat with you to simulate a phone call, deterring unwanted attention by making it seem like you're busy, and also providing entertainment value to your walk. If BuddyAI detects urgency in your voice or if you request help, it can text your configured emergency contacts. We're excited about the future and plan to expand BuddyAI's capabilities. Check it out…

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…
