Did I just create the world's smallest AI server?

Hacker News - Sun, 04/06/2025 - 5:19pm

I successfully installed Ollama in Termux on my degoogled Unihertz Jelly Star, reputed to be the world's smallest smartphone, having a 3 inch screen. The Jelly Star packs 8+7 gb ram. I downloaded and then successfully ran distilled Deepseek-R1:7b locally on the device. Is it slow? Yes. But it still steadily outputs text word by word, does not crash, and takes no longer than a couple mins to respond in full. Anyone have other examples of micro AI workstations?

Show HN: Chrome extension that gives Claude Pro API-free tool use capabilities

Hacker News - Sun, 04/06/2025 - 5:06pm

Hi HN community!

I've created a Chrome extension and Node.js server combo that lets Claude use external tools (calendar, Spotify, etc.) from within regular browser conversations - without any API access.

## Why

Tool use is available in Claude via API, but I haven't found a way to use tools from the web interface.

Over a weekend I've created a PoC and spent the next few weeks polishing the details before sharing.

The architecture is modular, making it easy to add new tools. I've included detailed setup instructions in the repo.

## How it works

- The extension injects a content script onto claude.ai/chat pages

- A background script captures all Claude responses via Chrome debugger API

- When Claude generates XML tool tags (e.g., ...), the server executes the corresponding action

- Results appear as system messages that you can paste into your conversation, so that Claude is aware of failures etc.

GitHub: https://github.com/BartlomiejLewandowski/claude-browser-tool...

## Tools currently supported

- Google Calendar (create events)

- Spotify (play music)

Would love feedback on the approach and ideas for other useful tools to add!

Show HN: AI-Powered Face Shape Detection for Personalized Style Recommendations

Hacker News - Sun, 04/06/2025 - 4:52pm

Hey HN, I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on: an AI tool that instantly detects your face shape and provides personalized recommendations for hairstyles, glasses, and makeup. I got the idea after noticing how tricky it can be to find styles that truly suit your unique features, and I wanted to make that process easier and more data-driven.

The tool uses computer vision to analyze facial features and classify face shapes, then matches them with style suggestions based on some geometric and aesthetic principles I researched. Building the AI model was a fun challenge—training it to accurately detect face shapes while keeping it lightweight for quick results took a lot of iteration. I also worked on making the recommendations practical and user-friendly.

I’d love to get your feedback! What do you think about using AI for this kind of personalization? Are there other features or use cases you’d find interesting? If you’ve worked on similar computer vision projects, I’d be curious to hear about your experiences too.

Looking forward to your thoughts!
