Camclave
Consent-gated webcam access for AI coding agents
What it does
Camclave lets AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex CLI inspect real-world hardware through still-frame webcam captures. Point at a breadboard, multimeter, 3D print, or paper schematic — the agent grabs a frame and answers questions about what it sees. Consent-first: camera only activates when you start it manually, with a visible red CAMERA ACTIVE window at all times.

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…
