From the sources
Born from an age of unbearable suffering—when famine haunted the loess hills of Shanxi—this temple is not a monument to grandeur, but a desperate dream made tangible. In the cramped confines of its main hall, a paradise erupts from the walls; over a thousand polychrome sculptures are not merely attached but suspended in space, creating an immersive, three-dimensional Pure Land. This opulent world, crafted from clay and wire during years of plague and starvation, stands in stark contrast to the grim reality of its creation. Xiaoxitian is a testament to the human impulse to build heaven when surrounded by hell, a breathtaking act of defiance where spiritual hope was sculpted into an escape…from funes.world

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…
