About Needle2
An open 45M-parameter model for tool calling, device use, and structured extraction. Needle 2 runs as a 14 MB binary in 28 MB of session RAM. Needle 2 is measured end-to-end through the shipped binary at CQ2-bit deployment precision with tool retrieval on; baselines run the released checkpoints under vLLM, and Apple FM runs on-device. Bringing On-Device AI to <$200 Devices : Edge AI has lately meant Macs and PCs, but the true edge is mostly cheap hardware: there are more than 21 billion IoT devices against roughly 1.5 billion PCs.
