Performance reviews that don't suck
What it does
Every performance management system is unique. Legacy HR tools either lacked a point of view or forced one, penalizing you for being uniquely you. With Zal.ai, you don’t have to pay that tax. We’ve launched an AI-native performance platform that runs reviews, feedback, goals, and cultural rituals your way, not someone else’s playbook.

- BEBraintrust – Eval platform for AI products2023 · ▲8
Hey HN, We're excited to introduce Braintrust, a platform for running and tracking AI evaluations (“evals”) [1]. At my previous startup Impira and leading AI at Figma, we had this recurring problem where we never knew if changes we made to our products would improve or regress key user scenarios. We built some tooling to solve this problem and after talking to other developers learned that it was a widespread issue. Specifically, it’s challenging to establish a great dev loop that lets you systematically improve and ship high quality AI products. We worked with the teams at Zapier, Coda, and…

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…

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…
