What it does

The AI-powered academic writing platform for researchers who take their work seriously.

The research workspace that verifies every source it cites. Check references against Crossref and OpenAlex, catch retractions, and prove the work is yours.

A detector returns a probability about a person. Folio returns a record about the work: every source resolved against the scholarly databases, every retraction flagged, and an authorship report that holds up when the question is asked. This is the pooling Folio Studio ships, running in your browser. Edit any confidence interval and the pooled estimate, the diamond and I² recompute, with nothing sent anywhere. Export the finished figure and it carries a public record that recomputes the same numbers from the stored data. Every exported figure gets a record like this one: the studies, the pooled estimate and a SHA-256 fingerprint over the data, on a page anyone can open without an account.…from usefolio.co

  • 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…
