What it does
Traction is an AI-revenue-automated growth platform that helps local businesses plan content, capture leads, follow up consistently, and turn local visibility into booked revenue — all done for you by your own customized AI. Content creation. Email marketing. Lead tracking. Reputation management. Competitive research. LLM optimization. Automations. Pipeline tracking. Analytics. All of it. Your AI. Your rules. Increase your revenue. Effortlessly. Organized. Finally.
Traction helps local businesses turn visibility into leads, follow-up, and booked revenue. Orbit AI suggests the next best action — you stay in control.
One guided workspace for local growth — plan content, capture leads, and see what to do next. Your weekly plan has two open slots. Orbit can draft posts for Wed and Fri. Content, leads, and performance signals often live in different places. That makes it harder to know what's working and what to do next. Inquiries land in five different inboxes and slip through the cracks. By the time you reply, the lead has already booked someone else. You're posting and replying — but you can't tell what's actually working. Orbit spots missed opportunities, drafts next steps, improves content, and keeps momentum moving. It suggests and prepares — you review, edit, approve, or skip. Walk through a sample…from tractionbytightropestudio.com

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 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…
