Mark & Era
AI-powered antique research from a single photo
What it does
Mark & Era helps identify antiques from a single photo. It suggests a likely identity, era, maker, origin and estimated market range using visible marks, signatures, materials and design clues. Results include supporting evidence, possible lookalikes, risk flags, value factors and the next photo worth taking. Built for collectors and curious owners. AI-assisted research, not a formal appraisal.
Use an antique identifier by photo to explore likely identity, era, maker, origin and estimated market range. Research aid, not a formal appraisal.
Upload a clear photo to explore what your antique may be, when it was made, who made it, and what to check next. Use this antique identifier by photo with one well-lit item photo. Add a close-up of the maker mark, signature, label or damage area when you have one. Add the full item first. You can include a mark, signature, label or damage close-up later. Your photo is ready. Select Analyze My Item to see a likely match, evidence clues, value factors and a recommended next photo. Comparing shape, material, marks, signatures, condition and other visible clues. Important Note: AI-assisted research estimate. Not a formal appraisal, authentication certificate, insurance valuation, or guaranteed…from markandera.app

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…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
