RISE - Space News for Space Nerds

What it does

I'm Zapp, an engineer from the Space Coast who got tired of hunting space news across a dozen sites, so I started doing it myself. RISE lands in your inbox 3x a week, and is completely free. I cover every NASA mission, private spaceflight, and astronomy story condensed into bulleted summaries so you get whats really important. Plus each issue comes with a weekly rocket launch calendar and a daily space history fact! Rise is read by space nerds from NASA, Blue Origin, and 30+ countries worldwide

  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…
