Tracking AI Code with Git AI
Git AI is a side project I created to track AI-generated code in our repos from development, through PRs, and into production. It does not just count lines, it keeps track of them as your code evolves, gets refactored and the git history gets rewritten. Think 'git blame' but for AI code. There's a lot about how it works in the post, but wanted to share how it's been impacting me + my team: - I find I review AI code very differently than human code. Being able to see the prompts my colleagues used, what the AI wrote, and where they stepped in to override has been extraordinarily helpful. This…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Git AI is a side project I created to track AI-generated code in our repos from development, through PRs, and into production. It does not just count lines, it keeps track of them as your code evolves, gets refactored and the git history gets rewritten. Think 'git blame' but for AI code. There's a lot about how it works in the post, but wanted to share how it's been impacting me + my team: - I find I review AI code very differently than human code. Being able to see the prompts my colleagues used, what the AI wrote, and where they stepped in to override has been extraordinarily helpful. This is still very manual today, but hope to build more UI around it soon. - “Why is this here?” — more than once I’ve giving my coding agent access to the past prompts that generated code I’m looking at, which lets the Agent know what my colleague was thinking when they made the change. Engineers talk to AI all day now…their prompts are sort of like a log of thoughts :) - I pay a lot of attention to the lines generated for every 1 accepted ratio. If it gets up over 4 or 5 it means I’m well outside the AI’s distribution or prompting poorly — either way, it’s a good cause for reflection and I’ve learned a lot about collaborating with LLMs. This has been really fun to build, especially because some amazing contributors who were working on similar projects came together and directed their efforts towards Git AI shine. We hope you like it.

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…
