The score comes from our model.
- Show HN: Homi, open decision model for audio, near Flash on MMSU and 50x cheaper · score 7.8
Homi is an open decision model for audio that answers typed questions (yes/no, multiple-choice, scored levels) about audio clips, using a Qwen3-Omni-based architecture with a decision head instead of text generation. It claims strong performance on VocalGrad and MMSU benchmarks at significantly lower cost than Gemini Flash, with a fully reproducible training and evaluation pipeline.
- Show HN: Local Code – Run DeepSeek 4.1 Flash 1017 Locally on Your Mac · score 7.5
Local Code is a private, on-device AI agent for Apple platforms that combines an Apple Silicon inference engine, model-specific coding harness, and sandboxed agent runtime with Python, Node.js, shell, and other built-in tools. It streams Mixture-of-Experts weights from disk to run large DeepSeek models on Macs with less memory than the checkpoint, and provides extensive sandboxed capabilities like document conversion, image generation, and web browsing.
- Show HN: An offline 0.8B model that ties Gemini Flash on OpenStreetMap questions · score 6.7
This project presents Finch, a 0.8B parameter open-weights model fine-tuned with SFT and RL to answer OpenStreetMap-based travel questions entirely offline, achieving correctness comparable to Gemini Flash on a custom benchmark. It also introduces Ask Maps Basic, a 100-question evaluation set with grounding metrics, and demonstrates that a small on-device model can retrieve and cite sources from a local index, enabling privacy-preserving, cost-free travel assistance.
- Show HN: HardwareOS - Turn a prompt into hardware project you can wire and flash · score 4.8
HardwareOS is a desktop workspace that uses AI to help build firmware projects, manage boards and parts, and keep notes alongside code. It aims to streamline the hardware development workflow by combining code assistance with project organization in a single application.
