What it does

Local-first note-taking with a self-building knowledge graph, AI chat across your vault, and Google Drive sync. Your notes. Your data. Your device. While AI should surface connections between notes rather than just store them — using contradiction detection and semantic clustering as the primary AI insight layer, not just search.

  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.
