Human researchers decide everything from compute and data spend to what experiments to run. To replace them, models need this judgement. We’re introducing FrontierML, a benchmark testing how well agents use money to scale model performance on 21 challenging, end-to-end ML tasks.

Introducing Omnara: the open-source alternative to Claude Managed Agents. Omnara is an API for creating and interacting with production-grade agents. You build the agent. Omnara handles hosting, durable state, sandboxes, permissions, secrets, and the rest of the production infrastructure. Available now @omnaraai

We’re introducing intrinsic discovery, a new learning method that allows models to explore and learn from open-ended environments without human supervision. Using intrinsic discovery, we trained a world model that surpasses GPT-5.6 Sol at simulating terminal environments.

Is this a comeback?
Today marks a new milestone for Stability AI. We've closed our Series B, bringing total funding to $232M under new leadership. This moment is more than the number, it's about who's in the room.

coding agents do love a good-ol SHA-256

>> "1. Gemma 26B A4B -> 66 tps (33tps on DB)" You will not be able to guess what hardware this is actually running on:
Everyone's excited about @darkbloomai so let's talk about distributed AI. Since launching Aquaduck AI beta yesterday, P50 tok/s for top 3 models: 1. Gemma 26B A4B -> 66 tps (33tps on DB) 2. GLM 4.7 Flash -> 53 tps (not on DB) 3. Qwen 3.8 27B -> 17 tps (not on DB) All powered by consumer hardware! We were one of the first 20 devices on Darkbloom back in April, but we started @aquaduckai around the same time because we wanted more device inclusivity, speed, and model dynamism. Love what DB is exploring and imagine our implementations will be very complementary. We optimize for different goals, like making use of every computer, not just the extremely capable ones. I think we'll be two meaningful projects for distributed and local AI. If you're interested in trying out another implementation, set up your own mini AI cloud of compute or use our public one: aquaduck.ai

Use all major agents in a single product!
Replying to @thepablohansen
Proliferate supports all the major agents- Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Cursor, OpenCode. With all their native controls built in.

Qwen3.8 27B literally broke the SIZE → INTELLIGENCE curve. Look how far left it is in the optimal quadrant. Crazy that a 27B model is sitting on the Pareto frontier like that. This RESETS expectations for what you can run on consumer hardware.

just imagine this thing running after you
Unitree New Robot Preview: “Superman” Breaking the Limits of Humanity🥳 Standing high jump 2 m, top speed 12.66 m/s (0.85 m leg length) Surpassing the standing high jump and running speed records of all humans around the world This new machine has only been in development for a little over three months, with significant room for further improvement in the coming months.

yo cmux is taking 40GB of system memory loll, more than chrome?
