In plain words
Zenfetch is a Chrome extension that saves and indexes web content—including articles, PDFs, videos, and emails—into a searchable AI-powered system. Users can sync bookmarks and Pocket saves, then search or chat with their indexed content through a dashboard. The tool is designed for people who want to retain and recall information from their browsing, and includes features like morning digests summarizing saved reading material.

Hey everyone! Akash and Gabe here from Zenfetch (YC W23) - a chrome extension to help you remember more of what you read. Zenfetch makes it easy to index any content from across the web into a neural search engine and AI chat. Try the chrome extension at https://www.zenfetch.com/?utm_source=hacker_news. How it works: 1. Optionally sync your bookmarks and/or Pocket saves. Zenfetch will continue to sync newly saved items. 2. Click the Zenfetch icon in a tab to save any PDF, YouTube video, note, article, email, forum post, etc. Zenfetch can save almost anything across the internet. 3. Zenfetch indexes the text or transcript and adds that information to your AI second brain. 4. Use the dashboard or side panel to search or chat with your AI second brain. 5. Zenfetch will send morning digests summarizing your reading. A few examples of how our users use Zenfetch: “What articles have I read on nuclear fusion?”, “Analyze this strategy based on the Lenny Rachitsky article I read”, “Summarize Karpathys video introducing LLMs”, “Which research papers mentioned the increase in carbon emissions?”, “Compile the different perspectives I’ve read on climate change” and more. We built Zenfetch to solve the personal pain of reading tons of content but using little to none of the information. While searching for solutions, we found that most tools were good at storing information but not at retrieving it. We even found that search functionalities on existing read-later tools got worse the more content we saved. Zenfetch is free for the first 14 days and then costs $14.99/mo (No credit card needed for the trial). We’d love for you to try it out and let us know what we can do to improve your experience! While we only work on Chromium-based browsers right now, we’re actively working on browser compatibility and integrations. Let us know which ones to prioritize!

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…
