Google DeepMind Releases Gemma 4 12B: An Encoder-Free Multimodal Model with Native audio that runs on a 16 GB laptop

Google DeepMind just released Gemma 4 12B, a dense multimodal model that strips out traditional encoders entirely. Vision and audio flow straight into the LLM backbone. The result is a model that runs agentic workflows on a consumer laptop with 16 GB of RAM. It ships under the Apache 2.0 license. Model Overview & Access […]

TinyFish Launches BigSet: An Open-Source Multi-Agent System That Builds Structured Live Datasets from Plain-English Descriptions

Building a structured dataset from the web is still a pipeline problem. You identify a data source, write or configure a scraper, design a schema, handle deduplication, schedule refreshes, and fix breakage when upstream sites change. That process stays roughly the same whether you do it once or a hundred times. TinyFish is releasing BigSet

Meet Memory OS: A 6-Layer Open-Source Memory Stack Built on Top of Hermes Agent

Hermes Agent already remembers across sessions. The open-source agent from Nous Research ships with curated memory files and full-text session search. But a new community project argues that built-in memory is too shallow for serious work. A new library named ‘Memory OS‘ has been released under an MIT license by a developer (ClaudioDrews). It stacks

Trajectory Releases a Concurrent Multi-LoRA Training Stack for Continual Learning, Reporting a 2.81× Experiment-Throughput Gain

Trajectory’s concurrent multi-LoRA stack reports a 2.81× experiment-throughput gain over single-tenant RL, with all code in the NovaSky-AI/SkyRL GitHub repository. Most language models improve in discontinuous jumps. A team collects data, trains, and ships a new version. This takes months and produces remarkable or catastrophic behavior for users. Trajectory wants to replace that cycle with

Build Skill-Augmented AI Agents with SkillNet for Search, Evaluation, Graph Analysis, and Task Planning

In this tutorial, we implement a SkillNet use case as a practical framework for discovering, installing, inspecting, evaluating, and organizing reusable AI skills. We start by setting up a robust SkillNet client with SDK and REST fallback support, then compare keyword search with semantic search to understand how skills can be found for different task

Hermes Agent Ships Tool Search for MCP: Anthropic Evals Show 49% to 74% Accuracy Gain on Opus 4

Nous Research’s open-source Hermes Agent now ships a Tool Search feature. It directly addresses a growing bottleneck in AI agent systems: too many MCP tools filling up the context window. In this explainer article, we will breaks down what Tool Search does, how it works, and when to use it. The Problem: MCP Tools Are
