Llama 3.3 70B
Llama 405B-level performance, at a fraction of the cost
In plain words
Llama 3.3 70B is Meta's open-source large language model designed for developers and researchers. The 70-billion parameter model delivers performance comparable to much larger frontier models like Llama 3.1 405B across certain applications, while requiring significantly fewer computational resources. It supports multiple languages and is instruction-tuned for generative tasks, making it accessible for developers seeking capable AI capabilities without the cost and infrastructure demands of larger systems.

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…
