Original Summary

Hi Hacker News! I&#x27;m Tim, and I made y&#x27;all some Pasta. :)<p>Others have New Year&#x27;s resolutions to get fit, mine&#x27;s to build an app in hopes of getting fit.<p>Fun fact, I built something like this over 10 years ago but never released it. Co-founder issues, if you must know. I called it Träna Fit, träna being the Swedish word for train. I remember hiring a voice actor on Fiverr to record every rep count.<p>Fast forward to today and the models are good enough to do much of this, and more. Pasta is a personal trainer app for iPhone. You ask for a workout by voice or text, Apple&#x27;s Foundation Models build it, and a small voice model running on the phone (Kokoro-82M) guides you as you train.<p>When it comes to planning and generation, I have to admit it still has plenty of room for improvement. I grade what it writes with evals. My favorite catch so far: I asked for a 500 kg deadlift for 100 reps, and the model built it, no questions asked. I&#x27;m hoping to make the evals better as I get more feedback on what&#x27;s working and what&#x27;s not. Over time, I&#x27;d like it to come as close as possible to what a certified personal trainer would build for you based on your goals and needs.<p>I also realize that getting fit and working out isn&#x27;t solely about knowing what to do. There&#x27;s also the motivation + accountability part, and I do have some ideas on the roadmap that I&#x27;ll share later. And I swear, it&#x27;s not gamifying your health and fitness results.<p>You&#x27;ll need an iPhone with Apple Intelligence on iOS 27, and it&#x27;s free for 7 days. Give it a try. I&#x27;d love to know what you ask it for first, and whether you&#x27;d do the workout it builds.
