New AI Grant Fellows
Hi HN, A few months ago, we announced our AI Grant project. We give $2,500 in cash and $20,000 in GPU training credits to anyone who wants to work on AI research. Today, we're excited to announce our second batch of Fellows! We were flooded with nearly 1,000 applications. Topics were diverse: robotics, NLP, biology, tooling, physics, dataset acquisition, fundamental research and more. The applicants were also diverse, spanning from world-class Google researchers to high school students. Check out https://blog.aigrant.org/new-ai-grant-fellows-43f1c26c13d9 for an overview of the…

The weirdest and best research ideas often come from outsiders. Our goal is to find and fund their work. What should we add to our program to improve it? Thanks! - Daniel Gross & Nat Friedman. P.S. I'm a partner at YC. This is Nat's and my side project, not a YC effort.

Hi HN, Last year, we launched a non-profit AI research lab called AI Grant (http://aigrant.org). Our goal is to fund promising people around the world working on AI. No strings attached. We've since given away over $100,000 to 30 teams working on different projects. You can see some of them here: http://aigrant.org/#finalists. We just started accepting applications for our third batch! The academic grant application process is burdensome. It's only avalible to a choice few. Applications take days to complete. AI Grant is open to anyone on the internet. You can apply…

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…
