Show HN: Needle2: 14MB agentic LLM for phones, wearables, smart home and robots

The Cactus team has released Needle 2, a 14MB agentic LLM for edge AI devices. It runs on phones, wearables, smart home devices, and robots, and achieves high performance despite its small size. Needle 2 is 5-70x smaller than similar models and uses 7-85x fewer MFLOPs per token, making it suitable for power-constrained devices. It can be used for tasks like text classification, summarization, and structured extraction, and can be fine-tuned for custom tasks.
