What it does
ParlApp is the messaging app built for real conversations across languages. You speak your language. They understand your meaning. Unlike traditional translators that translate word by word, ParlApp uses context-aware translation to understand what you really mean, even when your messages include cultural expressions, typos, slang, idioms, nicknames, incomplete sentences... So instead of awkward translations, your messages sound natural, personal, and accurate.
Message your partner
Text or voice. AI translates with full context, so slang, typos, and private names all come through naturally. 31+ languages. Slang, typos, names, the inside jokes from your group chat.

Your contact gets each one in their own language, read or heard, however suits them. French with your grandma. German with the Berlin team. Spanish with your partner's friends.

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…
