Stealth Interview
Coding interviews are broken. They're a gatekeeping ritual that has NOTHING to do with actual software engineering. We're forced to memorize obscure data structures and algorithms we'll never use, while being watched like lab rats through screen-sharing. I got fed up and built Stealth Interview - an undetectable AI assistant that works during technical interviews. It runs silently in the background while you're screen-sharing on Zoom or any other platform. The interviewer sees nothing, but you get the help you need. THIS is the only way you game the system, because the game is rigged. This…
In plain words
Stealth Interview is an AI assistant designed to help candidates during technical coding interviews. The tool runs undetectably in the background during video interviews on platforms like Zoom, providing assistance while remaining invisible to interviewers. It targets software engineering job candidates who view traditional coding interviews as misaligned with real-world development work.

Coding interviews are broken. They're a gatekeeping ritual that has NOTHING to do with actual software engineering. We're forced to memorize obscure data structures and algorithms we'll never use, while being watched like lab rats through screen-sharing. I got fed up and built Stealth Interview - an undetectable AI assistant that works during technical interviews. It runs silently in the background while you're screen-sharing on Zoom or any other platform. The interviewer sees nothing, but you get the help you need. THIS is the only way you game the system, because the game is rigged. This is leveling the playing field. Real engineers use Google, Stack Overflow, and AI tools every day. Recruiters use AI to screen you out or look for Ivy League grads who barely got any experience but inverting trees in CS102. We're witnessing the demise of the Leetcode era. Companies are slowly realizing these artificial puzzles don't predict job performance. Until they all catch up, Stealth Interview is here to help you get past these arbitrary barriers. I built this out of frustration, but also hope - for a future where we judge engineers by what they build, not how they perform in high-pressure algorithm recitals.

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…
