Mage, Unlimited 50 Top AI Text-to-Image and GIF Models
Hi Hackernews! Mage is the incredibly simple and fun platform with over 50+ top, custom Text-to-Image AI models as well as Text-to-GIF for all to create with their imagination, unlimited & unfiltered. Start with fast and unlimited Stable Diffusion for free! The first Mage link posted ever was here on HackerNews back in September with the promise of Free, Fast, & Unfiltered Stable Diffusion. Turns out, avoiding the h*ll of pip installs and CUDA errors while enjoying this incredible tech was (and is) a popular idea! Since then, we've grown into an incredible community, with a lively Discord…
In plain words
Mage is a web-based platform for generating images and animated GIFs from text descriptions. It offers over 50 AI text-to-image models, including Stable Diffusion, available for free without requiring local installation or technical setup. Users can create, explore, and share generated content through user profiles and a social interface. The platform is designed for anyone wanting to experiment with image generation without dealing with software installation complexities.

Hi Hackernews! Mage is the incredibly simple and fun platform with over 50+ top, custom Text-to-Image AI models as well as Text-to-GIF for all to create with their imagination, unlimited & unfiltered. Start with fast and unlimited Stable Diffusion for free! The first Mage link posted ever was here on HackerNews back in September with the promise of Free, Fast, & Unfiltered Stable Diffusion. Turns out, avoiding the h*ll of pip installs and CUDA errors while enjoying this incredible tech was (and is) a popular idea! Since then, we've grown into an incredible community, with a lively Discord and 1M+ monthly active users on the site. We've added explore, profiles, history, social, and 50+ of the best fine-tuned models to boot. And today, we're live on Product Hunt! Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback as we continue to grow and evolve. Eternally grateful that HN was the launchpad that started everything for us!

- I4Ideogram 4.0 – open-weight 9.3B text-to-image modelJun 2026 · github.com · ▲46
It's our new text-to-image model: a 9.3B single-stream diffusion transformer trained entirely from scratch. We focused heavily on controllability through structured JSON prompts, with strong text rendering, spatial awareness through bounding box guidance, and color palette control. It has the best text rendering of any open-weight model we've tested so far, and the NF4 quantized checkpoint runs on a single 24GB GPU. For more technical details and examples see our blog post: https://ideogram.ai/blog/ideogram-4.0/ We will be happy to answer any questions :)

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…

Hi HN, Today we’re launching GPT-4 answers on Phind.com, a developer-focused search engine that uses generative AI to browse the web and answer technical questions, complete with code examples and detailed explanations. Unlike vanilla GPT-4, Phind feeds in relevant websites and technical documentation, reducing the model’s hallucination and keeping it up-to-date. To use it, simply enable the “Expert” toggle before doing a search. GPT-4 is making a night-and-day difference in terms of answer quality. For a question like “How can I RLHF a LLaMa model”, Phind in Expert mode delivers a…
