What it actually is Riddle isn’t an app or a chatbot window. It’s a mod for the reMarkable Paper Pro, a physical… Continue reading

jamesob/local-llm — the 2026 field manual for running SOTA models on your own hardware
James O’Beirne dumped everything he knows about running LLMs locally into one repo. It hit 381 points on HN’s front page, and it’s not a framework or an app — it’s a reference. One giant hardware × model cheat sheet for 2026 self-hosting, plus ready-to-run vLLM configs. What you actually get A price-to-tokens table you… Continue reading

Swimio is an AI swim coach that writes your workout from a sentence
Most swim-tracking apps just log laps. Swimio, an AI swim coach launching on Product Hunt, tries to be the coach itself — you describe the session you want in plain language, and it writes the workout. ## What it does Swimio pairs with your Apple Watch to capture the usual metrics — stroke type, pace,… Continue reading

FUTO Swipe is an open swipe-typing model that runs offline in 2.5M parameters
Good swipe typing on Android has long been locked inside privacy-invasive keyboards or unlicensed private libraries. FUTO Swipe, released June 13, is an open alternative — a swipe-typing model small enough to run fully offline on cheap phones, and it already ships in FUTO’s keyboard app. ## How it works The system splits into three… Continue reading

Terminal Mode puts your coding agent status on AR glasses
Coding agents now run for minutes at a time, and you end up babysitting a terminal to see what they’re doing. Terminal Mode, one of the launches fighting for the Mac desktop this week, takes a different route: it projects your coding agent’s live status onto AR glasses. ## What it does Instead of another… Continue reading

Midjourney Medical puts a 500,000-transducer full-body scanner inside a spa
The company best known for turning text prompts into surreal images just shipped a physical machine. Midjourney Medical, announced June 18, is a full-body ultrasonic scanner — you stand in a water-filled chamber for about 60 seconds and it builds a 3D map of your insides. No radiation, 500,000 transducers, roughly 17GB/s of data per… Continue reading

Dune is a context-aware Mac keypad whose three keys adapt to your app and Claude
Most desk gadgets do one fixed thing. Dune, a context-aware keypad for Mac, takes the opposite approach: it sits beside your keyboard and changes what its three keys do in real time based on whatever app is in the foreground. ## What Dune does The three keys remap themselves as you switch apps — one… Continue reading

Monako Glass Puts Claude Code and Codex on a 48g Pair of Glasses
Most smart glasses are built for photos and notifications. Monako Glass is built for one thing: running AI coding agents on your face. The 48-gram wearable runs a full Buildroot Linux OS with a waveguide display, so you can drive Claude Code, Codex, or any coding agent hands-free, anywhere. ## What Monako Glass does Instead… Continue reading

NVIDIA’s GR00T N1.6 gives humanoid robots full-body control from one vision-language-action model
NVIDIA’s Isaac GR00T N1.6 is the latest open foundation model for humanoid robots — a vision-language-action (VLA) model that turns camera streams, robot state, and plain-language instructions into one unified control policy. ## What changed from N1.5 N1.6 isn’t a rewrite; it’s a sharpening. Architecture, data, and modeling improvements let it beat the previous N1.5… Continue reading

NVIDIA’s GRAIL generates humanoid robot skills from 3D assets and video
Teaching a humanoid to pick up a box and carry it across a room usually means hours of teleoperation or motion capture. NVIDIA’s GRAIL goes the other way: it generates loco-manipulation behavior — locomotion plus object handling — directly from 3D assets and motion priors pulled from video. ## The data bottleneck it targets Humanoid… Continue reading
