Cactus releases Needle 3, 8-29MB models for on-device tool calling

User prefers rule-based mappings to heuristic model for home control

6 Sep 18 5:13 PM · 7d ago · 3 comments · 1 source · development 6 of 7

A developer noted preference for deterministic phrase-to-action mappings over the model's heuristic approach, citing an example where "warm the house" was misinterpreted as a lighting brightness command rather than a thermostat adjustment.

“I'd rather have 30 megabytes of phrases mapped to the perfect and correct control changes in a home, rather than a heuristic built around 30 megabytes.”
