General Compute

In plain words

General Compute operates an inference cloud built on ASICs rather than traditional GPUs, delivering faster response times for AI model deployment. The service targets developers and businesses running latency-sensitive applications like coding assistants and voice agents. It offers an OpenAI-compatible API that allows users to switch providers without modifying existing code, claiming 5x faster inference speeds and improved throughput compared to GPU-based alternatives.

From the sources

GPUs are built for training, not inference. General Compute is an inference cloud running on ASICs — purpose-built alternatives to Nvidia silicon designed specifically for inference. We deliver 5x faster responses and higher per-user throughput for latency-sensitive workloads like coding and voice agents. Our OpenAI-compatible API means you swap your base URL, keep your existing workflows, and run real-time AI on infrastructure built for the job.

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  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…
