Cutforge — client-side video editor

An embeddable, browser-based non-linear video editor. Decode, compositing and export all run on the user's machine — a WebGPU compositor, WebCodecs, and a Rust/WASM core — so there are no render servers and nothing is uploaded. Sold as a commercial SDK that teams drop into their own products.

Cutforge — client-side video editor

Key Features

  • Multi-track timeline: trims, splits, transitions, keyframed effects, text overlays
  • WebGPU compositor on an OffscreenCanvas worker, with WebGL2 / Canvas2D fallbacks
  • WebCodecs decode/encode + mp4/webm muxing — exports faster than realtime, no server
  • Rust→WASM engine: timeline scheduler, audio resampler, peak summaries, color path
  • OPFS-backed media streaming and an AudioWorklet + SharedArrayBuffer mixer
  • Ships as @cutforge/editor — a license-gated, embeddable SDK

Buddy AI Note

A memo-first daily workspace. You write your daily memo; AI turns it into tasks, calendar events, and email replies — with optional Gmail / Outlook and Google / Outlook calendar enrichment. Web + mobile, multilingual, with a long-term AI memory layer that learns your preferences over time.

Buddy AI Note

Key Features

  • Daily memo as the single workspace: agenda, action items, voice memos, and email drafts in one place
  • Bidirectional Google / Outlook calendar sync; AI proposes events, you approve in one tap
  • Email triage with Gmail / Outlook: AI classifies threads, drafts replies, and surfaces them inside the memo
  • Voice memo capture with on-device VAD, transcription, summary, and shareable meeting minutes
  • AI agent (13 tools) plus a typed entity-graph memory that distills observations into long-term preferences
  • Web (Next.js 16) and mobile (Expo / React Native) sharing one Supabase + Postgres + RLS backend

Make Me a BNN: A Simple Strategy for Estimating Bayesian Uncertainty from Pre-trained Models

Authors: Gianni Franchi, Olivier Laurent, Maxence Leguéry, Andrei Bursuc, Andrea Pilzer, Angela Yao

Published: December 23, 2023

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are powerful tools for various computer vision tasks, yet they often struggle with reliable uncertainty quantification - a critical requirement for real-world applications. Bayesian Neural Networks (BNN) are equipped for uncertainty estimation but cannot scale to large DN...
