Semantic search engine for Studio Ghibli movie
Hi HN! I built Ghibli Search, a semantic search engine for Studio Ghibli movie scenes (e.g. Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, etc.). Describe a dreamscape like "flying through clouds at sunset" or upload an image, and it finds visually similar scenes from the films. Live demo: https://ghibli-search.anini.workers.dev/ Full Cloudflare stack: Workers, AI Search, R2, Workers AI Open source: https://github.com/aninibread/ghibli-search Would love feedback on the search quality and any ideas for improvements!
In plain words
Ghibli Search is a semantic search engine that lets users find visually similar scenes from Studio Ghibli films like Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, and Howl's Moving Castle. Users can describe a scene in text, such as "flying through clouds at sunset," or upload an image to locate matching moments across the films. The tool uses AI-powered visual matching to connect user queries with actual scenes, making it useful for fans, artists, and anyone seeking specific visual references from these animations. The project is open source and built on Cloudflare's infrastructure.

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…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
