Xirp
The agentic development environment built by Spotify
In plain words
Xirp is an agentic development environment built by Spotify that integrates with a team's services, documentation, and architectural decisions to provide AI coding agents with organizational context. Designed for development teams, it connects to ownership records and system information so that each AI coding session begins with relevant background rather than generating code in isolation. The tool aims to help AI agents make decisions that are both technically sound and operationally appropriate within an organization's systems.

The agentic development environment with institutional memory. Xirp connects to your services, ownership, docs, and architectural decisions so every session starts with real context. Powered by Spotify Portal.
Xirp connects to your services, ownership, docs, and architectural decisions — so every AI coding session starts with real context, not guesswork. Tap into the full potential of Xirp. Request access to your own Portal instance, included with the beta. AI coding tools solved the generation problem. Code ships faster, more services get built, output goes up. But something else happened. It took new engineers months to ramp up. AI agents made fast, confident decisions that were technically correct and operationally wrong — because they didn't know what they were actually working inside. The knowledge that would fix this wasn't missing. It was in Slack threads nobody could find, in the heads of…from xirp.spotify.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 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…
