How Wasmer used Codex to build a Node.js runtime for the edge
Engineers at Wasmer experienced a breakthrough this year: They figured out how to run Node.js workloads inside a WebAssembly sandbox, enabling developers to run JavaScript apps, MCPs, and agents without Docker. This effort would have taken one year without Codex, but with Codex, it took two weeks. Now, they’re the first cloud host to provide […]
What AI Agents Should Never Do on Their Own
focuses on what they can do. Autonomy gets framed as the goal: give them tools, give them access, let them run. The more freedom, the better the output. That framing is mostly accurate. I use agents daily. They’ve genuinely increased my output. I’m a believer! And I’ve also lost two hours of work through an […]
Nous Research Releases Hermes Desktop: A Native Cross-Platform Front End for Hermes Agent v0.15.2 with Streaming Tool Output
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 […]
Walmart’s AI workflows meet the realities of the balance sheet
Walmart has reportedly begun limiting employees’ use of an internal AI assistant called Code Puppy after demands placed on the LLM backing the tool were higher than expected. Employees of Walmart were encouraged to use Code Puppy without any stricture or stipulations as to the limits of use, but Walmart is now assigning employees a […]
How Microsoft Discovery agentic AI rewrote the quantum computing R&D playbook
Microsoft’s Majorana 2 quantum chip arrived this week with numbers that are genuinely difficult to contextualise: qubits 1,000 times more reliable than the first generation, a mean qubit lifetime of 20 seconds against an industry norm measured in microseconds, and a revised roadmap targeting a commercially scalable quantum computer by 2029. Behind those numbers is Microsoft Discovery […]
NVIDIA Releases Cosmos 3: A Two-Tower Mixture-of-Transformers Foundation Model Unifying Physical Reasoning, World Generation, and Action Generation
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, […]
How to Fine-Tune LFM2 Using QLoRA and DPO: A Complete Step-by-Step Coding Tutorial on Google Colab
In this tutorial, we fine-tune Liquid AI’s LFM2 model through a complete open-source workflow. We start by loading the base LFM2 checkpoint with QLoRA, preparing a chat-style supervised fine-tuning dataset, training a lightweight LoRA adapter using TRL and PEFT, and then merging the adapter back into the model. We also extend the workflow with DPO […]
Anthropic IPO filing marks AI maturing into enterprise utility
Anthropic’s IPO filing marks the maturation of generative AI from a research-heavy venture phase into a stabilised enterprise utility. Model developers operating in private markets have prioritised rapid iteration and maximum compute performance over predictable billing cycles. Taking a foundational provider public aligns those engineering goals with standard corporate procurement, introducing structured release schedules and […]
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 […]
Code Is Cheap. Engineering Judgement Is Now the Scarce Resource
underlying society is changing. That was one of the ideas from Max Buckley’s talk at AI Engineer Singapore, and it has stuck with me ever since. For decades, software engineering was organised around scarcity. Code was expensive to write, engineers were scarce and features took time. This assumption shaped how teams worked. We prioritised carefully […]
