Perplexity AI announced what it calls the first hybrid local-server inference orchestrator at Computex 2026. The system is designed to automatically route AI tasks between a user’s local device and cloud-based frontier models without requiring the user to decide in advance. The feature is expected come to Perplexity Computer in July 2026. What is Hybrid […]
In this tutorial, we set up Microsoft Fara in Google Colab and run a browser-use workflow from start to finish. We begin by cloning the repository, installing the package, preparing Playwright, and verifying that the installed Fara files work even when the package layout changes. Instead of immediately relying on a heavy Fara-7B deployment, we
AI-first development is changing how software gets built. A new approach called “vibe coding” sits at the center of that shift. Developers describe what they want in plain language. An AI agent turns that description into working software. The term was coined by Andrej Karpathy. It captures a move away from line-by-line coding toward natural-language

Miso Labs has released MisoTTS, an open-weights 8-billion-parameter text-to-speech model. It generates expressive speech from both text and audio context. The model uses residual vector quantization (RVQ) to widen its sonic range. This avoids scaling a single flat vocabulary while keeping parameter count fixed. What is MisoTTS MisoTTS is an 8B-parameter text-to-dialogue RVQ Transformer. It

Researchers at Stanford University and Lambda Labs, have published the research paper for OpenJarvis, an open-source framework that runs inference, agents, memory, and learning entirely on-device. The open-weight models configured through OpenJarvis land within 3.2 percentage points of the best cloud model on average, at roughly 800× lower marginal API cost per query and roughly
In this tutorial, we build a document-intelligence workflow with iii. We begin by installing the iii engine and Python SDK, then start the engine as a background process and connect a Python worker to it. After the setup, we register separate functions for text normalization, tokenization, sentiment analysis, keyword extraction, reporting, and heartbeat tracking. We
While many AI open source model providers are pursuing larger and more powerful models, Google is still giving attention to the smaller, more local side of the market. Today, the tech giant released Gemma 4 12B, an 11.95-billion-parameter open-weights model with permissive Apache 2.0 license optimized to execute locally on a standard enterprise laptop using
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
Nous Research has released Hermes Desktop in public preview. It is a native application for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It gives the open-source Hermes Agent a graphical interface. Until now, users ran Hermes through a CLI and messaging gateways. The current build is Hermes Agent v0.15.2. Per Nous Research’s documentation, the desktop reuses the same
NVIDIA AI team have released Cosmos 3. It is a family of omnimodal world models for physical AI. The models combine physical reasoning, world generation, and action generation. All three capabilities live inside one open model. NVIDIA open sourced the checkpoints, training scripts, deployment tools, and datasets. The Cosmos 3 release targets robotics, autonomous vehicles,
