In plain words
Tegon is an open-source issue tracker designed for engineering teams as an alternative to Jira and Linear. Built with AI-first capabilities, it offers fast local data loading, an AI assistant that suggests titles and labels, and automatic duplicate detection. The tool aims to streamline workflows with AI agents while avoiding the complexity and slowness of traditional issue tracking systems.

Tegon takes a different approach, leveraging AI agents to streamline workflows and empower your team. Tegon is AI-first - Blazing Fast: Loads data instantly from your local machine for smooth navigation (powered by real-time background syncing). - AI-powered Assistant: Automatically suggests titles, labels, and assignees, and even identifies duplicate issues while you create new ones. - Smarter Summaries: Uses AI to generate concise summaries of issue activity, keeping you focused. - Natural Language Search: Filter issues with ease by simply typing in plain text. - Automated Triaging: AI saves time by automatically categorizing issues coming in triage What's coming next Tegon isn't stopping there. We're actively building features to: - Prioritization Powerhouse: Groom and prioritise unscoped requirements for efficient development (check out our GitHub issue for more details - Personal Section: A dedicated personal section containing My issues and My notes - Context Enricher Agent: Tegon Agent will flag issues with insufficient descriptions to prevent misunderstandings - Prioritisation Agent: Assist team leads in managing sprints by analyzing tasks, priorities, and bandwidth in real-time, suggesting adjustments for optimal workflow.

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…

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
