What it does
Run Buddy AI is an audio-first running coach for structured workouts. It guides you with spoken cues, pacing targets, coaching, and post-run analysis, so you can stay focused. Ask the coach for a workout that fits today’s available time, then run with live guidance in your headphones. For the richest experience, connect an OpenAI-compatible or OpenRouter API key; Run Buddy AI also works with Apple Intelligence where available. API usage is lightweight, usually less than a few cents per workout.
Run Buddy AI gives you a clear run for today, audio guidance during the effort, and progress enriched by Apple Health. Free, with no account or subscription.
Choose a clear session, hear the important moments while you run, and turn your history into useful progress — without building a complicated training plan. Today keeps the next action obvious. Start freely, reuse a workout, or follow a personalized recommendation when Apple Intelligence or your personal AI provider is available. Start immediately with local tracking and essential audio cues. No account, API key, or network required. Build and reuse timed or distance-based sessions without turning every run into a planning exercise. Use recent training, preferences, and available health context to prepare a more relevant next session. Reuse a saved GPX route, import a new one, or run…from runbuddyai.duckway.fr

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…
