Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite
Best-in-class intelligence for your high-volume workloads
In plain words
Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite is a language model API designed for high-volume workloads, offering fast processing speeds and low costs at $0.25 per million input tokens and $1.50 per million output tokens. It delivers 2.5 times faster first token response and 45% higher output speed compared to its predecessor while maintaining comparable quality. The model is built for developers and organizations needing efficient artificial intelligence processing at scale.

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…
