• Show HN: Reverse engineering the ANE to run Gemma 4 26B at 100 Tok/s · score 7.5

  ANE Fieldfare is a Swift-based inference engine that runs Gemma 4 26B-A4B on Apple Silicon by leveraging the Neural Engine for prefill, GPU-based speculative decoding with a DFlash drafter, and memory-mapped expert weights cached by the OS file cache. It achieves up to 100 tok/s on a 16GB Mac with under 1GB RSS, significantly outperforming llama.cpp and Turbo Fieldfare.

• Show HN: Thyme – A New AI-Based App Reverse Engineering Tool · score 7.5

  Garlic is a high-performance Java/Android decompiler written in C, capable of decompiling APK, DEX, JAR, and class files, along with ELF analysis for ARM binaries. Thyme builds on it as a reverse-engineering IDE with AI integration, offering decompilation, disassembly, call graph queries, and MCP support for agent-driven analysis.

• Show HN: Two-hour reverse transit isochrones for NYC/NJ in the browser · score 7.0

  A static web app that computes reverse transit isochrones for NYC/NJ, showing where you can live and still reach a destination within up to two hours using many transit operators. It runs a WASM routing engine in a Web Worker with OSM and GTFS data, and synthesizes GTFS from PDF schedules for operators that lack it.

• Show HN: Using an LLM chat template in reverse to play the user · score 6.3

  selfgpt is a Python tool that inverts LLM chat templates to make models generate user turns instead of assistant turns, enabling AI-to-AI conversation or role reversal. It includes an LLM-as-a-judge evaluation pipeline to measure how human-like models are when writing in the user slot, with results showing no model is indistinguishable from humans. The project is interesting for its creative exploitation of chat templates and its empirical study of model behavior.
