- Jack Dorsey's Block just dropped Buzz, an open-source Slack and GitHub rival where your AI agents are full members with their own cryptographic identity. We took it for a spin. Here's what we found.
- Electron ships a whole Chromium. Wails builds the same desktop app in Go on the native webview: 52 MB, not 324 MB.
- We ran a 744-billion-parameter AI model on a laptop using a tiny C tool called Colibrì. Testing it on a MacBook vs an RTX 5090 revealed the real bottleneck for local AI, and it isn't the GPU.
- Inkling is a 975B open-weight model that admits it isn't the best, because it isn't meant to be used, it's meant to be fine-tuned.
