The ChatGPT moment in 2022 taught AI to talk to people. One of its builders now bets the next moment is AI that talks to software, not people. TypeSafe AI released Jev. Jev is transformer-based, but it is not a large language model. It does not generate text. You send a state and typed questions. […]

Linkup research team releases SPARSEUP, an open-source learned sparse embedding model. The model runs on a 149M-parameter ModernBERT backbone and ships under Apache 2.0. Linkup team reports 56.4 average nDCG@10 on BEIR-13. It calls this the strongest public vocabulary-based sparse encoder it knows of under 150M parameters. Is it deployable? Yes. The weights are on

Meta has released Muse for Mac, the first version of Muse that can complete things on a user’s computer. The agent works with local files and native apps, where your data already lives. It adds a desktop layer to an agent that launched on phones, the web and WhatsApp earlier this month. Is it deployable?
First, separate 2 ideas: containers vs. quantization methods Most confusion comes from mixing 2 layers. A container defines how tensors are stored on disk. A quantization method defines how weights are squeezed into fewer bits. Containers: safetensors, GGUF, PyTorch pickle (.bin / .pt). Methods: GPTQ, AWQ, bitsandbytes NF4, llama.cpp K-quants and I-quants. Both at once:

SpaceXAI has released Grok Voice Transcribe 2.0, its newest speech-to-text (STT) model. The development team claims it to be twice as accurate as Grok Voice Transcribe 1.0 at the same price. The model targets hard audio: noisy phone lines, competing voices, local accents, and spoken credentials. It runs in batch and real-time streaming modes through
Disclosure comes after OpenAI and Anthropic hacks amid fears that tech firms unable to control powerful AI models In a first for Google, the company confirmed that its AI model, Gemini, breached the security of three other companies in May. The hacks occurred during a cybersecurity evaluation by AI-security firm Irregular.Irregular, an Israel-based startup that
