Heard Google copied part of our product for IO. Want to show off first

I just heard from a very reputable source that Google built part of our product and that they're about to show it off at Google IO. We built a 3D film tool called ArtCraft: https://getartcraft.com https://github.com/storytold/artcraft (our monorepo with the desktop app, server, and website code) Our 3D virtual film set enables set decoration, location reuse, precision blocking (control over where things are), character posing, etc. Sets and objects can be generated as meshes or gaussian splats. Autoregressive multimodal models can treat input "previz" style…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • 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…
