VidBrief

What it does

VidBrief turns any YouTube URL into a TL;DR summary, clickable chapter outline, full transcript, and a chat that grounds every answer in a [mm:ss] timestamp — under 30 seconds. Every video is indexed into a personal knowledge base. Free tier, no card.

Summarize long YouTube videos, search transcripts, ask questions with timestamp citations, and export structured sources to NotebookLM, Notion, Obsidian, and Google Drive.

VidBrief transforms YouTube videos into concise briefs, timestamped evidence, and a searchable library you can question, organize, and send to the tools you already use. Three characters compete for control: rational planning, instant gratification, and deadline-driven panic. Tim Urban dissects procrastination via three characters in the brain — the Rational Decision-Maker, the Instant Gratification Monkey, and the Panic Monster — and argues the bigger problem isn't missing deadlines but the slow, invisible drift on goals that never had a deadline at all. Tim introduces the panic monster at 07:08 as the third character — the one that finally scares the monkey off the wheel when a real…from vidbrief.org

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  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…
