Super happy to officially announce that we are a̶c̶q̶u̶i̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ joining forces with NVIDIA 🔥 This is a more personal take. AI is at an inflection point. Open source AI can become less relevant in the coming years if the big closed labs run away with it, OR it can become the foundational fabric of the next phase…

BREAKING NEWS: Google just re-entered the game 🔥🔥 They want to take the crown 👑 back from Chinese open source AI. And... Gemma 4 is FINALLY Apache 2.0 aka real-open-source-licensed. From what I've seen it's going to be a pretty significant model. But give it a try yourself today: brew upgrade llama.cpp # you…

If you like Claude Code/Codex and have at least 32GB of RAM: please run Qwen3.5-35B-A3B locally. There's a before and after for local agents: reliable tool calling, stable agentic loops, only 3B active params. Punches way above its weight! Now is the best time to get started with local models.

llama.cpp just hit 100k stars on GitHub 🔥 Here's a bold prediction: within 18 months, 90% of all AI agents will be running locally on your own machine. Here's why local agents are inevitable:  → Models keep getting more efficient. MoE architectures like Qwen3.5-35B-A3B give you frontier-level quality while only…
