I tried running this on a H100 and got 190ms compared to Jev's 170ms. Maybe I set it up wrong?

nice! kind of similar but re-made a scrollable wikipedia a few weeks ago: https://quack.sdan.io/

sorry not the UI but specifically the content. every new post on the feeds that are not "Following" are created in realtime. just a demo showing whats possible but I could just generate them before hand in bulk too.

thanks! i spent last weekend building out the engine to create content but agree UI needs more polish. this is all great feedback will try getting out v2 of quickquack rebranded to wikwok :)

Wikipedia articles are randomly sampled, theres no algorithm per-se yet but hoping to collaborate with others to see that through

how could i make it more useful? different formats? would you want to keep you engaged for longer? entertained for longer?
Re:Show HN: Scroll Wikipedia like TikTok on Friday January 09, 2026 @09:56PM (#46562300)
great suggestion ! i might change it to wikwok, so good

Note there's a rate limit on generated content for the time being, why you're unable to see any new content on the rest of the feeds. LLMs are expensive!

A few months ago I made a (theoretically) infinitely learning geo-guessing model that updated the policy with each user guess: https://geospot.sdan.io/

Hoping to implement a simple RL loop here and optimize whats generated by the LLM to create the perfect slop machine :)

nice did you make this just for the comment? haha

Yes I have base css/js that I inject on top of whatever codegen gemini 3 comes back with -- It runs via ai-sdk so the specific function is streamObject which is prompted to generate inner HTML elements

Thanks! Half of the work here was getting gemini to generate reasonable canvas animations within the window. I'm still experimenting which "style" I should keep/add

Huge- good to hear will see if I can add a way to type in what you want or to go dig further into just certain hashtags.

Yes just fixed timer, and using browser TTS nothing fancy here on purpose - when I did some research on tiktok videos generally simpler/worse quality seemed to be better XD

Hey - I've been playing with LLMs since GPT-2 and recently experimented with fully generative UIs where the HTML/Canvas are generated just-in-time.Every post on the feed( on slop/duck/storytime) you see is streamed and generated just-in-time with HTML and into a Canvas with Gemini 3 Flash.Comments and DMs are bidirectionally linked with a Cloudflare Workers Durable Object which is why they feel...

To prevent overfitting

Getting there! training a new model, on thinking machines' tinker api which uses a considerably larger and different architecture.

In the meanwhile I tried at least 100+ variations of trying to train this model to be SOTA most of which led me down getting better data which I believe I do, just needs more tuning still.
