VIC-E TokenSaver
Local, cross-client token savings with built-in evidence
What it does
TokenSaver is a local context optimizer for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Grok, and other AI coding tools. It reduces repetitive logs, searches, file reads, and tool output before they consume paid model context. Unlike command-specific reducers, it provides one cross-client proxy, a native Rust engine, fail-open processing, adjustable profiles, and evidence reports showing measured savings, overhead, failures, and per-client results. Windows, macOS, and Linux; free for personal home use.
通过有界本地代理运行受支持的 AI 编程客户端，并使用本地生成的证据核验节省量、延迟、故障和并行容量。
TokenSaver keeps independent layers separate to prevent double counting provider, Codex transport, and command-output reductions. Average and maximum proxy overhead, end-to-end latency, proxy-observed TTFB, and processing time appear beside the savings. Provider failures, rate limits, and transport compression failures stay visible. When compression cannot finish safely, original data passes through. No prompts, responses, API keys, command arguments, paths, or model output are written into the evidence report. TokenSaver remains free.

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…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
