Cactus Compute's needle Is a 14MB Foundation Model Aimed at Wearables and Smart-Home Hardware
cactus-compute/needle gained about 248 stars today (3,921 total, MIT) pitching a 14MB foundation model for phones, wearables, smart home devices, and robots. The size is the entire argument — at 14MB the model fits in class of devices where even quantized small language models are currently impractical. It last shipped on 2026-08-11 and carries no formal releases, so treat capability claims as unbenchmarked until third-party evaluation appears.
