Smolex – A code retrieval ChatGPT Plugin for Python
The problem: We're chatting with ChatGPT about our code, right? And we've got to manually piece together a context to feed the AI, especially when that token limit comes into play. ;) Here's where Smolex jumps in. It allows ChatGPT to pull up context directly from your codebase (it's a plugin that just runs on localhost), making our back-and-forths about code more like a conversation and less like a chore. I find it's a real lifesaver when writing new tests based on old ones. Smolex can provide ChatGPT with the existing tests for context. Heads up, though, this tool's super experimental -…
In plain words
Smolex is a ChatGPT plugin that allows the AI to retrieve code directly from a Python codebase running on localhost. Instead of manually gathering code snippets for context, developers can have ChatGPT pull relevant files and existing tests automatically, making code discussions more conversational. This is particularly useful when writing new tests based on existing ones. The tool runs locally and is in experimental stages.

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…

Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
