Friend Drop

Platonic matchmaking for Stanford students.

What it does

Note: It is NOT available for anyone without a @stanford.edu email. Friend Drop is a matchmaking service for students to fix campus loneliness. Most apps keep you scrolling and messaging for weeks. We do the opposite. We pair you with another student and give you a specific time and place to meet in person immediately. We use real-world check-ins at local spots like the Yummy Future robot cafe to make sure people actually show up. No more endless chatting or digital noise, just meeting people.

    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…
