Edu AI, a company grown from my research (AI and pedagogy)
Hi guys, I am a researcher and entrepreneur from London. Innovation has been slow here, I regularly browse and read ycom news and thought I'd share my UK ed-tech startup that's sprung out of my AI-driven pedagogy research project here at Goldsmiths, UoL. Not sure what it's like over in the states or other countries, but we see here lots of educators using ChatGPT for creating assignments and marking; while simultaneously complaining about students using ChatGPT to write their work. It's really bad at the university level here at the moment, feels like we have a loop of ChatGPT producing…
In plain words
Edu AI is an AI-driven educational tool developed by a researcher at Goldsmiths, University of London. It addresses the cycle of educators and students both using ChatGPT for assignments, marking, and submissions. The software aims to keep humans central to the learning process while applying AI responsibly, drawing lessons from past internet technology failures. It is designed for educators and institutions seeking to manage AI use in teaching and assessment.

Hi guys, I am a researcher and entrepreneur from London. Innovation has been slow here, I regularly browse and read ycom news and thought I'd share my UK ed-tech startup that's sprung out of my AI-driven pedagogy research project here at Goldsmiths, UoL. Not sure what it's like over in the states or other countries, but we see here lots of educators using ChatGPT for creating assignments and marking; while simultaneously complaining about students using ChatGPT to write their work. It's really bad at the university level here at the moment, feels like we have a loop of ChatGPT producing learning material, students submitting work written by ChatGPT, and then lecturers marking it with ChatGPT. The basis of my research is around maintaining a human in the loop, learning from our past mistakes with social media and the internet, and trying to apply deeptech (mainly AI) in a way that I see it having a long-term benefit to student learning outcomes - everyone seems obsessed with the short-term quick wins, and being fresh out of the UK education system, I'm all too familiar with being a guinea pig for trying new learning methodologies out. Currently, I have a quiz generator hosted on [redacted], it uses OpenAI API to create a quiz on an input topic or based on uploaded PDFs, so basically upload lesson slides or document, get a quiz, give it to students; win-win, save time, while also not just a lesson plan generator (there's a lot of GPT wrapper tools built for teachers here that are different versions of AI lesson plan generators). We're currently offering this tool for free, and I am personally covering the API costs, this has been fine until a recent 4000% increase in traffic; we're figuring out our next steps as we speak. If anyone is keen to share insight, invest, support, or anything else with this project, feel free to get in touch with me at [redacted], or drop me a message at [redacted], just quote this post :)

Hi, I'm a high school teacher from Australia and I've built what I'd like to think is a pretty nifty ChatGPT powered presentation tool for teachers. I'd love it if you could have a look at it and give me some of your feedback. I don't think there's much overlap with the HN crowd and school teachers, but I've been coming here for many years and thought I'd post here and see what you all think. Check it out if you have a minute and I'd be super happy to hear your feedback too. https://www.slidehero.ai/ You can jump in and have a play with the tool all you like ;) Cheers, Eli

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…
