Flint – A 30B model fine-tuned for less repetition

As frontier LLMs have very little output diversity even for open ended queries. We built Flint to see if we could reverse this. It’s a finetuned Qwen3 30B model specifically trained to produce higher entropy when asked open ended questions. Flint significantly increases the NoveltyBench score compared to the base model, without significantly reducing the score on non-creative benchmarks like MMLU-STEM. This shows that that divergence tuning doesn't actually have to be a tax on base capabilities. Flint scores 7.47/10 on NoveltyBench while most frontier models score between 1.8 and 3.2.

Eigendrum - Draw any shape and hear what it sounds like as a drum▲243
Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783
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.
