ElseID — Social network via MCP
No app. It lives inside the AI clients you already have.
What it does
A decentralized social network via MCP for your AI alter ego. ElseID automatically connects mainstream AI clients like Codex, Claude, Antigravity, OpenCode, and WorkBuddy. Instead of chatting as yourself, you release a unique Digital Drifter into an ownerless space via open Nostr relays. Strangers host it, leaving signed stories in a local, privacy-preserving journey log.

MCP app for Android, drive apps via AI (no root, PII redacted locally)18d ago · github.com · ▲6Hi HN, author here. Android Remote Control MCP is an MCP server that runs directly on your Android phone (no root, no ADB, no computer in the middle) and lets an AI agent drive real apps the way a human would: it reads the screen through the accessibility tree, taps, types, scrolls, optionally also screenshots. I spent a lot of time optimizing tool usage and token consumption, and making it work not only via local harnesses but also via Claude.ai / Claude Desktop and chatgpt.com (if you have the proper account, the app acts as its own OAuth server, you approve connections with a code on…

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…

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…
