Turn your kid's favorite toy into a bedtime storybook
What it does
Every kid has that one stuffed animal they won't let go of. Now it can be the hero of their own storybook. Snap a photo of your child's toy. Pick a real challenge they're facing — bedtime fears, sharing, potty training, first day of school. Our AI writes and illustrates a complete picture book where their toy navigates that same challenge, in a way that's gentle and never preachy. The illustrations actually look like your child's toy, consistent across every page. Ages 2-5. First book free.

- TATaleBot – AI-Generated Personalized Bedtime Stories for Kids2023 · talebotai.com · ▲17
Hello HN, I'm excited to share a project my co-founder and I have been working on - TaleBot. What It Does: TaleBot creates a personalized bedtime story based on parent/caregiver's inputs. You can customize the theme, the challenges (kid-friendly obstacles) the characters face, and even the moral lesson it teaches. Once the story is ready, you'll receive a PDF file, and an AI narrated voiceover of it. Try It Out: We've made it as barrier-free as possible for you to test. Use the promo code HNFREETALE on our story creation form, and you can get a story written for free, no sign-ups…

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…

Built a ~9M param LLM from scratch to understand how they actually work. Vanilla transformer, 60K synthetic conversations, ~130 lines of PyTorch. Trains in 5 min on a free Colab T4. The fish thinks the meaning of life is food. Fork it and swap the personality for your own character.

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
