Recreation of Neuro-sama for a year, alternative of Grok Companion
This is the project we've worked for over a year, gaining already over 1300 stars, 200 Discord members, the container of cyber livings, Project AIRI, where you can own your own customized AI companion on mobile devices, desktops, and be able to play Minecraft, Factorio, connects Discord, Telegram, while be able to do normal chat, realtime voice chat, and many other things. We were working hard for the past month to deliver better Desktop version of our Project AIRI, we decided previously to hold our initial show on HN until next release with many more features. However, yesterday, xAI…
In plain words
Project AIRI is a customizable AI companion platform for mobile and desktop devices. It enables users to chat, engage in real-time voice conversations, and play games like Minecraft and Factorio while connecting to Discord and Telegram.

This is the project we've worked for over a year, gaining already over 1300 stars, 200 Discord members, the container of cyber livings, Project AIRI, where you can own your own customized AI companion on mobile devices, desktops, and be able to play Minecraft, Factorio, connects Discord, Telegram, while be able to do normal chat, realtime voice chat, and many other things. We were working hard for the past month to deliver better Desktop version of our Project AIRI, we decided previously to hold our initial show on HN until next release with many more features. However, yesterday, xAI announced Grok Companion mode, the so called AI companion to have a girl friend / cyber waifu living inside your device backed by xAI's Grok models. Luckily, we were also working on the new landing and documentation page, the new fresh look isn't like any other AI projects, now the work has done, I think this is quite a opportunity for us to show to everyone. So this is the post about it. You may wonder who Neuro-sama is, she is the famous AI VTuber on the internet for the past two years of AI hype, capable of playing Minecraft, Among Us, and chat with stream. I've always enjoyed watching her and her creator Vedal streams and clips. Last year, between May 2024, and June 2024, I started to re-create what Vedal has done for years. We initiated the organization Moeru AI, and Project AIRI for this specific work. We created so many beloved open source projects when working on this project, including the previous posted xsAI (Vercel AI SDK alternative) on HN, and unspeech for speech providers works like many other LLM providers gateway... feel free to check http://github.com/moeru-ai and http://github.com/proj-airi. The project wasn't finished yet, we are still finishing it with better UI and user friendly design. Please send us your feedbacks about this project on GitHub https://github.com/moeru-ai/airi/issues.

Hey there HN! I believe the future of AI communication will be more voice and less text. Low-latency realistic voice interactions are finally becoming feasible. I've built a few voice-first apps on Retell AI using Elevenlabs voices. This one uses Claude Haiku for responses and Mixtral to switch between posts and comments. The AI knows about the top 30 posts and their comments on Hacker News right now. After a Google sign-in you can try it free for 10 minutes. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

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…

Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…
