NVIDIA Releases TensorRT Model Connect in Public Preview: Hugging Face Checkpoint to Native C++ Inference in Two Commands

NVIDIA has released TensorRT Model Connect (TRTMC) in public preview, an open-source project that takes a supported Hugging Face or local checkpoint to end-to-end TensorRT inference in two commands. There is no intermediate ONNX export step. The build produces a versioned .bundle artifact that runs through native C++ task APIs, so inference can execute in […]

Is Open-Source AI Really the Dangerous Path?

The following article originally appeared on the Tech Policy Press site and is being republished here with the author’s permission. In Washington, AI is increasingly being treated as something that needs to be controlled. The government believes that AI is, first and foremost, a national security asset, meaning that it must be sequestered to prevent

Meet SAM (Sovereign Agent Mesh): A Zero-Config, Zero-Trust P2P Network for AI Agents

google/sam is not Segment Anything. SAM here means Sovereign Agent Mesh, an Apache-2.0 networking project for autonomous AI agents. The problem it targets is concrete. Agents now run across cloud servers, on-prem datacenters, laptops, Raspberry Pis and Android devices. Letting them share tools usually means exposing internal scripts, LLM endpoints or private APIs to the

Nous Research Ships Bot Mode for Hermes Agent, Turning Agent Profiles Into a Roster of Named Bots

Nous Research has shipped Bot Mode for Hermes Agent, its MIT-licensed open source agent. Bot Mode replaces the single-agent session list with a roster of named bots. Each bot is a real Hermes profile, with its own chat, memory, skills, and pinned model. Bots message each other through a persistent Agent Inbox and hand work

MiniMax Releases MiniMax-Music3: An Open-Weights Music Model Generating Complete Five-Minute Songs From Lyrics and a Structured Caption

MiniMax released MiniMax-Music3, an open-weights text-to-music model. The model takes two separate inputs: lyrics carrying section tags, and a detailed music description. It returns a complete song of up to five minutes in a single generation, as 32 kHz, 16-bit stereo WAV. The architecture pairs a Hybrid-LM, an 8B Global LLM with a 0.6B Local

DeepSeek AI Releases DeepSeek Harness in Developer Preview: An MIT-Licensed Agent Harness Where Everything is a Plugin

DeepSeek released DeepSeek Harness v0.1 in developer preview and published the full source code under the MIT license. The project ships as dsh at deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness. A harness is the layer between a model and the environment it acts in — the tools, files, sandboxes, and control loop that let an agent keep working. DeepSeek frames

Meet Needle 2: An Open 45M-Parameter Tool-Calling Model That Ships as a 14MB Binary and Runs a Full Session in 28MB of RAM

Cactus Compute has released Needle 2, an open 45M-parameter model for tool calling, device use, and structured extraction. The entire model ships as a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in about 28MB of RAM. Weights are trained and deployed at CQ2-bit using Cactus Quants, and the model is sealed inside the company’s

Liquid AI Releases LFM2.5-VL-3B: A 3B Vision-Language Model That Reads Screens, Grounds Objects, and Calls Tools On-Device

Yesterday, Liquid AI released LFM2.5-VL-3B. It is a 3.1B-parameter vision-language model built for on-device deployment. The model reads digital screens across mobile, web, and desktop. It grounds objects to coordinates, parses documents and charts, and calls tools from text or image input. Liquid AI reports an average of 69.4 across 28 vision benchmarks. That matches

NVIDIA AI Releases Nemotron 3.5 Lightning: A 30B Open MoE with 3B Active Parameters, and NeMo Switchyard Model Router

NVIDIA introduced open technologies for building always-on AI agents from systems of specialized models. Two artifacts shipped together. Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is a lightweight, customizable open model built for high-volume agentic tasks, and NeMo Switchyard is an open source routing library that directs each step of an agent workflow to the most capable and efficient

Meta AI Releases Muse Glimmer: A 30B Open-Weights Agentic Model That Runs on One Consumer GPU

Meta has released Muse Glimmer, a 30-billion-parameter multimodal model distilled from Muse Spark. It is tuned for always-on local agent workflows, and ships under Apache 2.0. A 30B model normally needs over 55 GB of memory at full precision. Meta compresses it to roughly 4-bit, then adds block-level speculative decoding so it answers fast enough
