  Alphabet Soup, a multiplayer game, build the longest word to winAug 2026 · alphabetsoup.club · ▲37

  I've been working on a simple multiplayer word game called Alphabet Soup. It's a bit like NYT Spelling Bee, except it's multiplayer and only your best (longest) word counts toward your score. So, instead of trying to find as many words as possible, the game is more about finding one unusually good word. You can play with friends in a private match, or, you can join a public Arena match to play against other players who are online. If no one else is around, you'll be matched with a bot. The game works well with just 2 players, but, also works with bigger groups since the game isn't…

  Categori - Ten words. One theme.Jun 2026 · categori.app · ▲5

  Duno what Id call it exactly? A boggle-like smushed together with crossword style riddles and some board re-roll mechanics. Bit of an LLM experiment in spinning off daily, theme-based word games easy enough to bang out over breakfast or a coffee break. Anyway, fire it up in a mobile browser and have a poke at it - appreciate any thoughts as I keep tinkering with it. No account or login required.

  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…
