  ISONQ reads PDF, DXF, DWG, and STEP files on the shop's own workstation and produces a priced quote. Nothing leaves the machine. Three modules, one job: 2D Workspace reads the drawing. PDF and DXF/DWG in. Title block, dimensions, tolerances, threads, GD&T out. 3D Workspace enriches the geometry. STEP-native. Smart Measure, section view, feature detection. Shop Management turns both into a quote. Auto-populated, priced, sent. The only system that reads the PDF and the STEP side by side — title block, dimensions, tolerances, and the 3D model in one review. Stack: Tauri, Rust end-to-end,…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
