Codebook of 450k+ unique words and phrases acts as a text compressor

In plain words

Codebook is a text compression tool that uses a database of over 450,000 unique words and phrases to reduce text size. It functions by replacing common language patterns with shorter codes, making it useful for anyone needing to compress written content for storage or transmission purposes. The tool leverages its extensive codebook to achieve compression without losing the original text's meaning upon decompression.

    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…
