A new Sherlock-style deduction case every day. Study one photograph of a stranger

Daily Holmes is a free daily deduction game inspired by Sherlock Holmes. Every morning we publish one photograph of a stranger's space (a cluttered desk, a kitchen table, a hallway), and your job is to read it like a detective: notice the small details, weigh what they imply, and deduce who lives there and how they live. There's no sign-up and nothing to install. New players can start with the How to Play guide, and anyone who wants to sharpen their eye can read our Learn articles on observation, the methods of Sherlock Holmes, and the difference between deduction, induction, and abduction. Come back each morning for a fresh case. Each case asks one main question and hides a handful of…from dailyholmes.com

  • Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

    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…
