Claw-coder

The world's first local first autonomous coding agent

What it does

This launch is amazing because there is no tool built and optimized for the local first agent experience but claw-coder bridges the gap between a local agent and an autonomous agent perfectly turning small ai models into capable agents.

Does the same job

    Claw-Coder is an AI agent that runs locally on your laptop and has access to powerful tools instead of configuring claude or codex to use a local model just use claw-coder. Why was claw-coder created? Answer: To solve the problem of privacy and security. When you use an agent that is configured with a cloud model like codex, cursor, Claude etc. You are not just getting the agent but you are giving up your codebase to train an llm which is a bit concerning and this reduces trust in the technology called AI but now another problem comes in performance when you switch to a local model that is…

  • 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…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
