Mixpanel for Voice AI Agents
Hi, I’m Tom Shapland, the cofounder of Canonical AI. LLMs have changed the paradigm for Voice AI. Compared to rule-based systems (Siri, Alexa, Amazon Polly), LLM-based Voice AI agents understand the intent of the caller and can more often resolve the issue without escalation to a human agent. Moreover, with LLM-based Voice AI agents, developers can build a Voice AI agent more quickly, onboard customers quicker, and iterate on the product faster. Our customers’ Voice AI agents are doing amazing things. It’s so much fun to see the agents achieve the caller’s objective, even in the face of…

In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi, I’m Tom Shapland, the cofounder of Canonical AI. LLMs have changed the paradigm for Voice AI. Compared to rule-based systems (Siri, Alexa, Amazon Polly), LLM-based Voice AI agents understand the intent of the caller and can more often resolve the issue without escalation to a human agent. Moreover, with LLM-based Voice AI agents, developers can build a Voice AI agent more quickly, onboard customers quicker, and iterate on the product faster. Our customers’ Voice AI agents are doing amazing things. It’s so much fun to see the agents achieve the caller’s objective, even in the face of skepticism from the caller. But LLM-based Voice AI agents are still nascent in some ways. For example, it’s hard for developers to know how their agents are performing. Most Voice AI agent developers are manually listening to calls to identify issues in them. Or they’re finding out about issues with their agent when their customers complain. There’s a better way. When my cofounder, Adrian Cowham, and I started the company, we were building a semantic cache. We started meeting a lot of Voice AI developers because they were interested in latency improvements from caching. However, we kept hearing them say, “We don’t need to optimize our agent yet. We just need to get it to be more reliable.” So we pivoted. We’re now building Mixpanel for Voice AI agents. We map caller journeys. We provide audio metrics (i.e., latency) and conversational metrics (i.e., identify calls that end abruptly). We help Voice AI developers improve their agents. We’d love it if people in the Hacker News community would try out our product and let us know what they think! Tom https://x.com/tom_shapland

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…
