An open source project turns any LLM into a 3D character that talks, moves, and reacts in the browser, no game engine, no local render setup. Characters have a memory system tracking emotional state and relationship history, so replies shift based on what's happened in the conversation so far, not just the last message. Fully customizable: swap the 3D model, the personality prompt, the LLM, or the text-to-speech provider. Try it free with zero setup, a hosted version includes complimentary API access to get started. Self-hosting needs your own API keys but gives full control to modify it. From the team behind Digital Life Project (CVPR 2024), presented at SIGGRAPH Asia 2025. 100% Free. Open Source.

Obsidian CEO actually released the skill that lets your AI agent run your entire vault for you. It's called obsidian-skills. Install it into Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode, and your agent can read, create, search, and organize notes directly, plus handle Markdown, Bases, and Canvas files without you touching a thing. This is the missing piece for an AI second brain. Your notes live in Obsidian, and now the agent actually knows how to work them. Want the full picture? We broke down how to build a complete AI second brain from scratch in the article below.

The open-source local version of Laya crushes Jev in response speed! On the left is Laya, a local 421M open-source decision model. On the right is Jev 1.13.0, running through a cloud API. Same Snake game, same typed decisions, and the same 30-second free run: - Laya: Score 46, Length 52, 86.5 decisions/sec - Jev: Score 1, Length 7, 3.2 decisions/sec - In a real test on an M5 Pro, median latency was 15.3ms locally versus 298.1ms in the cloud, so nearly 20x faster. Laya uses around 1GB of memory, responds in milliseconds, and doesn’t depend on a network connection. While Jev waits for a cloud round-trip at every step, Laya makes each decision instantly on-device.
