Install the Chrome extension on your computer, open Extroid in your phone browser, and scan the QR code. Then select Extroid Camera in your meeting—no camera driver or separate desktop app. Start in Chrome on your computer. When the extension shows a QR code, open Extroid here to scan it. Connect the devices for the call, then select Extroid Camera where your meeting runs. Extroid is a browser camera source, not a system-wide virtual camera. Chrome is recommended.

  • 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…
