Open Computer-Animated Multivariable Calculus Course in 6 Languages

We just released a fully computer-animated multivariable calculus course in six languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, and Portuguese. Free and open to everyone. Half the course is live now; the rest is coming very soon. We're an early-stage edtech startup. Our goal: use AI to build high-quality, computer-animated versions of every STEM course in the world, in every language, and bring them together on a platform like Coursera, but built for the AI age, with deep LLM integration. We want that literally. Every course. Every language. This project simply couldn't exist without…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

We just released a fully computer-animated multivariable calculus course in six languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, and Portuguese. Free and open to everyone. Half the course is live now; the rest is coming very soon. We're an early-stage edtech startup. Our goal: use AI to build high-quality, computer-animated versions of every STEM course in the world, in every language, and bring them together on a platform like Coursera, but built for the AI age, with deep LLM integration. We want that literally. Every course. Every language. This project simply couldn't exist without generative AI. We're two co-founders, and we don't speak five of the languages we just published in. There may be mistakes, but these courses wouldn't exist in those languages otherwise. We produce lectures fast with AI. But once a lecture is done, adding another language is even faster, it's O(1). So we just made this in six languages. We could keep going. These videos aren't static MP4s, they're open for improvement. If you have ideas, suggestions, or find mistakes, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/academa-dev/multivariable-calculus Would love your feedback. Happy to answer questions. Join the waitlist for upcoming courses at https://academa.ai. Tech stack: We forked 3Blue1Brown's Manim, synced TTS with animations using OpenAI Whisper, and used Inworld AI for text-to-speech.

  • 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…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
