Cowork/Codex DOCX plugin. Uses 2x fewer tokens than the docx skill
Hi HNers, I'd like to share our DOCX plugin for Cowork and Codex. It uses 2-5x fewer tokens compared to the traditional docx skill because it doesn't write any code nor execute python/node script. It is also much more reliable. Our DOCX plugin converts docxhtml bidirectionally. This means AI only operates on HTML. AI is excellent and very efficient when it comes to HTML. Most libraries (if not all) support docx->html, but none supports html->docx. This is what is novel about our approach. Here's the demo:…

Hi HNers, I'd like to share our DOCX plugin for Cowork and Codex. It uses 2-5x fewer tokens compared to the traditional docx skill because it doesn't write any code nor execute python/node script.

Here's the demo: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UNlUJYwkNX3NiANDkLLb3UoRSms... We've been using it in-house for redlining legal documents, and we love it. If you redline docx files, please give it a try: https://github.com/LegalRabbit-AI/legalrabbit-docx-claude-pl...

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…

Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
