Obiklip – read transcripts, find and create video segments quickly
I'm a video editor, but not very professional. I mostly edit speech and podcast videos to highlight interesting parts and make short clips. I've found that the most time-consuming task is finding interesting segments in a full-length video. It usually takes me 2-3 hours of continuous listening just to find the 'timestamps' where the interesting points start and end. I'm referring to source videos that are 30 min to 1 hour long. Nowadays, getting transcriptions for videos is easy with AI. So, why not use that to find segments? Reading through a transcription is much quicker and easier than…
In plain words
Obiklip is a tool for video editors who work with speech and podcast content. It uses AI-generated transcriptions to help users quickly identify interesting segments in long videos, replacing the time-consuming process of listening through hours of footage. Users can read through transcriptions, mark interesting sections, and generate timestamps for those clips, significantly reducing the editing workflow for creators who produce short-form content from longer source material.

In the maker’s words, at launch
I'm a video editor, but not very professional. I mostly edit speech and podcast videos to highlight interesting parts and make short clips. I've found that the most time-consuming task is finding interesting segments in a full-length video. It usually takes me 2-3 hours of continuous listening just to find the 'timestamps' where the interesting points start and end. I'm referring to source videos that are 30 min to 1 hour long. Nowadays, getting transcriptions for videos is easy with AI. So, why not use that to find segments? Reading through a transcription is much quicker and easier than listening to the whole video. You can't predict what the speaker in the video will say, so you need to listen, go back and forth, and keep repeating this process until you finish the video. So, I created Obiklip. Now I can go through each line of the transcription, listen to each line, read or skim through it. It saves me hours! Of course, there's still detailed post-production editing to do, but finding points to highlight is no longer a pain. As the only developer for this project, I'm happy to share this and hear feedback from the community! P.S. It's a free software. But if you need to buy a license, use the "HELLOHN" coupon.

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…
