Needle – A 26M parameter open-source function-calling (tool use) model, distilled from Gemini, designed for efficient execution on consumer devices using a Simple Attention Networks architecture.

We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model. It positions itself as a lightweight, efficient solution for agentic models on budget consumer devices, arguing that 'massive models are overkill' for tool calling, which is fundamentally 'retrieval-and-assembly.'

Needle addresses a critical performance and accessibility gap for AI agents on consumer devices. By distilling tool-calling capabilities into a 26M parameter model, it challenges the assumption that massive models are necessary for effective agentic behavior. This product targets developers build...
