Show HN: A 125M-Parameter Model That Autocompletes Piano On-Device Takes 583 Points
Show HN·medium signal
simedw's MIDI autocomplete project is the top-scoring Show HN of the cycle at 583 points and 115 comments, training a 125M model that predicts and continues piano performance locally rather than calling a service. The interest is the size discipline — a model small enough to run on-device on a musical-timing budget, where latency failures are immediately audible. Useful as a counterexample to the assumption that creative-AI demos need frontier-scale models.
