Gift Genie AI – GPT-3 powered free-text personalized gift ideas
Hiya HN! This weekend I built a webapp tool using the latest GPT-3 model from a few weeks ago (text-davinci-003) to help me come up with personalized and hyper-specific gift ideas. I was surprised to find that the model was actually much better at coming up with gift ideas than I was, given a detailed description of the giftee. The prompt engineering and result presentation was fun to build out, and I added some additional utilities to the results — quick links to searches on Amazon and an "Open All in New Tabs" button to make it easier to browse potential gifts. I also have some additional…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hiya HN! This weekend I built a webapp tool using the latest GPT-3 model from a few weeks ago (text-davinci-003) to help me come up with personalized and hyper-specific gift ideas. I was surprised to find that the model was actually much better at coming up with gift ideas than I was, given a detailed description of the giftee. The prompt engineering and result presentation was fun to build out, and I added some additional utilities to the results — quick links to searches on Amazon and an "Open All in New Tabs" button to make it easier to browse potential gifts. I also have some additional features in the works: explanations of why each gift would be good for the giftee, and the ability for the AI to ask additional questions to refine the recommendations (making it a more iterative / chat experience). I have iOS and Android apps in progress (bless React Native) and hope to improve the make the search smarter down the road by e.g. incorporating product/review data using the new OpenAI embeddings API (maybe in combination with a search-focused database). I'm excited to see what HN gang thinks of my tool and if any last minute gifters like me find it to be a helpful resource for finding holiday gifts this year. Let me know what you think and if there are any other features you'd like to see!

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…
