What it does
Prime is a native, ultra-lightweight (5MB) desktop OS engineered for autonomous AI agents. Built with Rust and Tauri v2, it eliminates the heavy resource footprint of Electron-based tools. It features a unique 7-tier Cognitive Memory architecture, built-in support for 12+ MCP servers, an advanced Stealth Browser for computer use, and strict capability-based security. Ready for local execution with Ollama or cloud models, offering an immersive glassmorphic interface with full RTL/Arabic support.

Anything AI – A local Zapier (like) AI tool written in Rust2024 · github.com · ▲7Hey HN! I really like local apps for their simplicity and privacy and hate paying Saas bills and I wanted a way to start automating my life with AI so I started building Anything. Anything is built on Tauri so the front end is React and the "backend" is Rust. It's 100% local & 100% doesn't ask you to spin up docker to use. Another core goal of the app is to get away from "package bloat" you see in other general purpose AI oss projects where they have a package.json that is 300 lines long ( more on that later. ) Oh btw I suck at Rust! I learned Rust while building this so the code is _not…

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…
