Chitty – A macOS native ChatpGPT client with custom assistants

Chitty is a ChatGPT client for MacOS, built with SwiftUI. Lots of ChatGPT clients are being published every day, but I wanted to focus on two things: 1. I wanted a "real" native ChatGPT client, not just a wrapped web view. Chitty closely resembles an iMessage like interface, which should feel familiar to most users instantly. 2. Chitty should allow you to chat with multiple AI personalities. These AI personalities can be real people (chat with Abraham Lincoln about his life), or made up. The app comes pre-loaded with a handful of historic AI personalities that you can interact with: Jane…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Chitty is a ChatGPT client for MacOS, built with SwiftUI. Lots of ChatGPT clients are being published every day, but I wanted to focus on two things: 1. I wanted a "real" native ChatGPT client, not just a wrapped web view. Chitty closely resembles an iMessage like interface, which should feel familiar to most users instantly. 2. Chitty should allow you to chat with multiple AI personalities. These AI personalities can be real people (chat with Abraham Lincoln about his life), or made up. The app comes pre-loaded with a handful of historic AI personalities that you can interact with: Jane Austen, Alan Turing, and Sojourner Truth. I focused on historic figures instead of more recent personalities, to remedy issues related to IP and plain bad taste. That being said, I also had fun adding some of my own programming heroes, and solving code problems with them. ChatGPT is great at impersonating people, as long as you tell it to stay in character. I hope you find it helpful. Chitty is free for now, and likely will stay free, but who knows.

  • 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…

    I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
