Cited AI – AI answers with citations linking to exact source passages
Hey HN! I’m Collin, a 20 year old law student from Amsterdam. I built Cited AI, an AI that gives accurate and verifiable answers from your documents/context. As a law student who uses AI a lot, I know how important it is that answers are actually accurate and verifiable. I remember many instances where I'd ask a chatbot like ChatGPT or Claude about case law or long documents, and it would either hallucinate facts that didn't exist, or fail to give me the exact passages from my source documents so I could verify its answers. Even when specifically asking for exact quotes, finding that…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hey HN! I’m Collin, a 20 year old law student from Amsterdam. I built Cited AI, an AI that gives accurate and verifiable answers from your documents/context. As a law student who uses AI a lot, I know how important it is that answers are actually accurate and verifiable. I remember many instances where I'd ask a chatbot like ChatGPT or Claude about case law or long documents, and it would either hallucinate facts that didn't exist, or fail to give me the exact passages from my source documents so I could verify its answers. Even when specifically asking for exact quotes, finding that passage in the original document is still a hassle. That's why last November I started building Cited. It should work with all types of content, complex PDFs (including math heavy ones) and long documents up to 75k words. No RAG or chunking is used, to make sure the full document is in the LLM's context. I would love to hear your feedback!

We’ve trained a generative AI model to browse the web and answer questions/retrieve code snippets directly. Unlike ChatGPT, it has access to primary sources and is able to cite them when you hover over an answer (click on the text to go to the source being cited). We also show regular Bing results side-by-side with our AI answer. The model is an 11-billion parameter T5-derivative that has been fine-tuned on feedback given on hundreds of thousands of searches done (anonymously) on our platform. Giving the model web access lessens its burden to need to store a snapshot of human knowledge…

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…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
