LLM-based Toolset for Language Learning

Hello everyone. I built an AI-based toolset to help me with language learning. I wanted to be able to easily generate very specific study content and get rapid feedback on my writing. Unlike most language apps, it doesn’t actually try to teach you a language. Instead, it’s a collection of tools for people at an intermediate level who already have a learning process It’s particularly great for Anki users. There a demo video on the login page, and I set up anonymous auth for people who want to test it without creating an account. Feedback and bug reports welcome.

    Open-source alternative to Duolingo for learning anythingMay 2026 · zoonk.com · ▲7

    I built an open-source tool for learning anything using AI: - Type what you want to learn - It creates a full interactive course for you Move from beginner to mastery of any subject, even complex things like Quantum Physics It has three formats: - Explanation: bite-sized lessons that you swipe like TikTok/Instagram - Practice: solve problems in real-world situations - Quiz: test your knowledge in Duolingo-like lessons - Language courses have a different format covering vocabulary, reading, and listening skills It's more hands-on than reading a long textbook or watching a video Plus, it…

    An all-in-one blog for learning Large Language Models (LLMs)2025 · comfyai.app · ▲5

    An all-in-one blog for learning LLM ins and outs: tokenize, attention, PE, and more Project I've been diving deep into the internals of Large Language Models (LLMs) and started documenting my findings. My blog covers topics like: Tokenization techniques (e.g., BBPE) Attention mechanism (e.g. MHA, MQA, MLA) Positional encoding and extrapolation (e.g. RoPE, NTK-aware interpolation, YaRN) Architecture details of models like QWen, LLaMA Training methods including SFT and Reinforcement Learning If you're interested in the nuts and bolts of LLMs, feel free to check it out:…

    MapMyLearn – AI tool that creates personalized learning paths2025 · ▲7

    Hi HN, I'm a solo developer learning to code, and I'd love to share my second real project: MapMyLearn, an AI-powered app that automatically generates personalized learning paths based on any topic you input. What it does: Takes a topic (e.g. "history of capitalism", "learn Rust", or "data storytelling") Uses AI to break it down into a structured course with modules and submodules Each submodule includes: - Detailed, pedagogical content (developed based on online sources to mitigate hallucinations) - A quiz of 10 questions - Recommended resources - An AI chatbot for Q&A - Optional audio…

    Itsumo: Make yourself fun and interesting academic language lessonsApr 2026 · itsumo.study · ▲9

    Itsumo is a language learning app that generates short lessons from stories about topics you choose, at your level. Instead of working through a fixed curriculum or another flashcard deck, you can make a lesson about whatever happens to be interesting to you that day, with audio, tappable words, and grammar notes. You can try a language story from the landing page without signing up, and if you want to try full access, no credit card is required at signup, and the premium tier free for 14 days. It supports Japanese, Polish, Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and Italian. I built it because…

    Alpha Demo of NotePad.ai (open source)2024 · github.com · ▲7

    Hi all, I threw together a small prototype I am calling “Notepad.ai”. A new take on UIs for interacting with LLMs. While I enjoy using LLM’s in the chat format I wanted to see what it would be like to do it in a more long form style. It let’s you write in a pretty free form, much like Window’s Notepad, but you can choose to hit ctrl+[ to analyze the text with a preset prompt of your choosing. It has a few other small features. It’s WIP and very experimental. I would appreciate any feedback or thoughts. Video: https://youtu.be/ntdlgFmSxQY Live Demo:…

    Aiaiai.guide: Plain-English mental model for LLM apps, tools and agentsApr 2026 · aiaiai.guide · ▲7

    I’ve been building LLM tooling for a small VC fund and found myself explaining the same mental model over and over to non-technical people around me: how a stateless LLM becomes a chatbot, how tool use works, what an agent is mechanically, and why context windows shape all of it. I never found a guide that covered that full chain at the level I wanted, so I wrote one. It’s nine short chapters, each building on the last. Deliberately simplified: the goal is a useful mental model, not a textbook. Feedback, corrections, and contributions welcome: github.com/ymyke/aiaiai

  • 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…

    I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024. It's sold…
