Smol

The privacy-first AI Photo, PDF and Video compressor for Mac

What it does

Compress unlimited images, PDFs, and videos 100% locally on Apple Silicon. No file size caps, no daily limits, no cloud uploads — $29 one-time. The Mac compression app with no quotas. Most image compression tools are dumb. They were built for the previous era of the internet. They treat every pixel almost equally. At Smol, we built a neural compression pipeline that analyzes an image semantically and decides what actually matters to the human eye.

  • Hey we are Computable. We spent years building trading infrastructure at Jump Trading and Coinbase. From that point of view, compute looks like energy markets before 2000: everything trades through private bilateral leases, there’s no visible price, and nothing can be resold. The same H100 rents at a 2x spread depending on who’s asking, and once you sign a 24-month lease, it can never change hands. So we built a market for GPU nodes, sold by the calendar week. Here are three things you can do on it that you can’t do anywhere else: - Buy exactly the weeks you need. Three nodes for the last…

    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…
