PhosphorLive plays video clips and procedural visuals on cue from a MIDI controller. Our drummer sends notes from the backing track; the app plays the matching visual, in sync, with GPU effects on top. It's a macOS app. One person works on it. It's been running every show our band plays for about a year. I'm putting it out now so other small bands can use it without buying five-figure professional software. Our band, Jaguar God , uses a backing track on stage. I play bass. Somewhere along the way we wanted visuals behind us that actually lined up with the music — not a looped VJ reel, but cues that hit on the drop, the breakdown, the bridge.

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.
