  Hey HN, I quit my 9 to 5 to join an accelerator. Let's say things didn't work out there. After launching my fourth startup and failing miserably again I decided to work on Frederick AI. I realised a lot of the early stage processes from idea to startup are the same and we can use AI to automate a lot of it from the way we come up with an idea to how we run startups. Frederick AI is a set of tools for early stage founders we collect Market Data 24/7 to detect consumer, business and government problems for other startup founders to go and solve. We then create a business plan and a…

  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. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
