Language Life – Learn a language by living a simulated life
Hi HN, I've been building Language Life (https://www.languagelife.ai), an AI-powered language learning app where you type commands in your target language to navigate a simulated world — move through rooms, talk to NPCs, complete everyday tasks. The AI gives you real-time grammar feedback on every sentence you write. Most language apps train you to recognize words, not produce them. Language Life makes you construct sentences from scratch. Type "abre la puerta" and your character opens the door. Order food at a restaurant and deal with the consequences of getting the grammar wrong.…

In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN, I've been building Language Life (https://www.languagelife.ai), an AI-powered language learning app where you type commands in your target language to navigate a simulated world — move through rooms, talk to NPCs, complete everyday tasks. The AI gives you real-time grammar feedback on every sentence you write. Most language apps train you to recognize words, not produce them. Language Life makes you construct sentences from scratch. Type "abre la puerta" and your character opens the door. Order food at a restaurant and deal with the consequences of getting the grammar wrong. It currently supports Spanish and Mandarin, with different modules (home, restaurant, market, etc.) at varying difficulty levels. Users can also create and share their own modules. The core simulation loop is solid but I'm calling this an alpha — I'm still working on extended content across CEFR levels and refining the overall gameplay feel. I'd love feedback from this community, especially on the UX and the AI feedback quality. Happy to answer any questions about the approach, the AI integration, or where I'm taking this.

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…
