I built an AI-powered professional headshot generator
Hello HN, I've created QuickHeadshots (https://www.quickheadshots.com), an AI-powered service that generates high-quality professional headshots from a few selfies. As a developer, I found existing solutions lacking in consistency and quality, so I decided to build my own. The app uses fine-tuned stable diffusion models to create realistic, professional-looking headshots suitable for LinkedIn profiles, company websites, or any other professional use. This is the result of a lot of experimentation around this to get to a decent quality. The goal has been quality and faithfulness to…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hello HN, I've created QuickHeadshots (https://www.quickheadshots.com), an AI-powered service that generates high-quality professional headshots from a few selfies. As a developer, I found existing solutions lacking in consistency and quality, so I decided to build my own. The app uses fine-tuned stable diffusion models to create realistic, professional-looking headshots suitable for LinkedIn profiles, company websites, or any other professional use. This is the result of a lot of experimentation around this to get to a decent quality. The goal has been quality and faithfulness to uploaded images. I'd love to get your feedback on the user experience, technical suggestions or any other aspects of the project. What do you think about the current state of AI-generated images for professional use? Are there any features you'd like to see added? I'm also happy to answer any questions. If you're interested in trying it out, drop a line at drop a line to support-at-quickheadshots.com for a discount code. Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions!

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…

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
