NVIDIA open-sourced a 600M model that transcribes 40 languages... in real-time at 80ms latency and it costs $0. that's faster than you can blink. across mandarin, arabic, hindi, portuguese, tagalog, whatever,from a SINGLE checkpoint. → 17x more concurrent streams than buffered ASR on the same H100. → punctuation + capitalization built-in. no post-processing. → runs on your own GPU. no API bill 100% Open Source.show more

Someone just built a desktop app that that generates... 3D models from images and runs 100% locally. It's called Modly. It runs entirely on your GPU, no cloud, no API bills. Just drop an image and get a 3D mesh. 100% Open Source.show more

someone just open-sourced their own neuro-sama. and it might... be better than the original. it's called airi. a fully autonomous ai companion that talks to you in real time, plays minecraft and factorio with you, chats on discord and telegram, and has a live2d/vrm avatar body. runs entirely on your machine. → real-time voice conversations, speech recognition → animated avatar with auto-blink, eye tracking, idle animations → persistent memory across sessions → local inference via webgpu, no api calls needed supports 30+ llm providers, openai, claude, gemini, deepseek, ollama, groq, mistral, xai, local models. swap the brain with a config change. runs on native cuda and apple metal for real gpu acceleration. 17.5k stars. 101 contributors. 46 releases. 100% free. open source.show more

China just dropped an open source model that turns... any phone into a 3D scanner you point it at a room and walk through it the whole space builds itself into a 3D point cloud in real time as the camera moves, no LiDAR and no depth sensor anywhere it held a full 13 minute walkthrough at 25,000 frames without the map drifting or collapsing > ~20 fps on a single GPU > works indoors and outdoors from plain footage > the scan normally needs a $50,000 rig and a technician > Apache 2.0 and runs fully offline on your machine repo in the replyshow more

Holy shit... Microsoft open sourced an inference framework that... runs a 100B parameter LLM on a single CPU. It's called BitNet. And it does what was supposed to be impossible. No GPU. No cloud. No $10K hardware setup. Just your laptop running a 100-billion parameter model at human reading speed. Here's how it works: Every other LLM stores weights in 32-bit or 16-bit floats. BitNet uses 1.58 bits. Weights are ternary just -1, 0, or +1. That's it. No floats. No expensive matrix math. Pure integer operations your CPU was already built for. The result: - 100B model runs on a single CPU at 5-7 tokens/second - 2.37x to 6.17x faster than llama.cpp on x86 - 82% lower energy consumption on x86 CPUs - 1.37x to 5.07x speedup on ARM (your MacBook) - Memory drops by 16-32x vs full-precision models The wildest part: Accuracy barely moves. BitNet b1.58 2B4T their flagship model was trained on 4 trillion tokens and benchmarks competitively against full-precision models of the same size. The quantization isn't destroying quality. It's just removing the bloat. What this actually means: - Run AI completely offline. Your data never leaves your machine - Deploy LLMs on phones, IoT devices, edge hardware - No more cloud API bills for inference - AI in regions with no reliable internet The model supports ARM and x86. Works on your MacBook, your Linux box, your Windows machine. 27.4K GitHub stars. 2.2K forks. Built by Microsoft Research. 100% Open Source. MIT License.show more

NVIDIA just made AI detect objects 10x faster by... deleting one step. It's called LocateAnything, and it removes the biggest bottleneck no one else was fixing in vision-language models. Normally a model builds each bounding box one coordinate token at a time. 100 objects means thousands of tokens before an answer. NVIDIA scrapped that: their Parallel Box Decoding predicts the whole box in a single forward pass, as one atomic unit. → 12.7 boxes/sec on one H100 → 10x faster than Qwen3-VL → +3.8% F1 on LVIS, accuracy up, not down → 3B params, runs on one consumer GPU Treating the box as one unit keeps its coordinates tied together, which is why accuracy climbed instead of falling. One model handles detection, GUI grounding, OCR, and document understanding, ready for computer-use agents, robotics, and document pipelines. 100% open source, weights, code, demo, and paper all live.show more

Fine-tune DeepSeek-OCR on your own language! (100% local) DeepSeek-OCR... is a 3B-parameter vision model that achieves 97% precision while using 10× fewer vision tokens than text-based LLMs. It handles tables, papers, and handwriting without killing your GPU or budget. Why it matters: Most vision models treat documents as massive sequences of tokens, making long-context processing expensive and slow. DeepSeek-OCR uses context optical compression to convert 2D layouts into vision tokens, enabling efficient processing of complex documents. The best part? You can easily fine-tune it for your specific use case on a single GPU. I used Unsloth to run this experiment on Persian text and saw an 88.26% improvement in character error rate. ↳ Base model: 149% character error rate (CER) ↳ Fine-tuned model: 60% CER (57% more accurate) ↳ Training time: 60 steps on a single GPU Persian was just the test case. You can swap in your own dataset for any language, document type, or specific domain you're working with. I've shared the complete guide in the next tweet - all the code, notebooks, and environment setup ready to run with a single click. Everything is 100% open-source!show more

Introducing: OpenGranola 🔥 I built an open source meeting... copilot for macOS. It transcribes both sides of your call on-device, searches your own notes in real time, and hands you talking points right when the conversation needs them. No audio leaves your Mac. Point it at a folder of markdown files, pick any LLM through OpenRouter (Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, Llama), and it just works. It's invisible to screen share too — nobody knows you have it. The whole thing is open source. Link belowshow more

ANTHROPIC AND OPENAI BOTH MISSED THIS. Someone just open-sourced... one SDK that gives AI agents a mouse, keyboard, and screen across macOS, Linux, and Windows. It's called CUA. Same code drives a local VM or a cloud sandbox regardless of the OS. Your agent sees the screen, clicks, types, and runs shell commands like a real user. > Benchmark against OSWorld and ScreenSpot > Export trajectories for model training > Near-native performance on Apple Silicon No separate SDK per OS. No infrastructure headache. 100% Free. Open Source.show more

China open-sourced a peanut-sized OCR that parses entire 100-page... PDFs in one shot.. It's called Unlimited-OCR. Only 3B params. Runs locally. Every other OCR tool chops your doc into pages and loses the thread. this one reads the whole thing in a single pass. → One-shot "long-horizon" parsing (32K context window) → Multilingual, out of the box → 93% on the standard parsing benchmark (+6 over baseline) → <0.11 error rate past 40 pages → Runs 100% locally on your own hardware → Works with Transformers, vLLM, SGLang, Docker, Ollama, llama.cpp Traditional cloud OCR (Textract, Google Vision, Azure Doc Intelligence) costs $1.50–$15 per 1,000 pages. This runs on your machine. For free. Forever. Baidu built it explicitly to push DeepSeek-OCR one step further. Already at 1.9M downloads on Hugging Face and most people have no idea it exists yet. 100% open source.show more

I explored a further possibility with local models: Qwen3.6... 35B A3B + NVIDIA LocateAnything-3B as a local Computer Use agent (proof of concept). In the demo, I asked it to switch my Mac to light mode. It did. Then back to dark. Did that too — finding the right toggle in System Settings, clicking it, and verifying the change itself. It's fully screenshot-based, so no Accessibility API needed. If it's on screen, the agent can see it and act on it. This runs entirely on your own hardware — private, local, built from two small open models.show more

LTX 2.5 JUST WENT FASTER THAN REAL TIME LTX... (LTX.io) is already one of the world's most widely used open video models. We just made its latest release, LTX 2.5, fast enough for rapid iteration and affordable enough for production at scale. It’s live on TensorScaleAI now, generating a 5-sec 1080p video in just 3.12s at $0.04 per second. That's faster than real time, at a fraction of the cost! For creative teams, that means less waiting time, more ideas explored, and lower production costs. For robotics and physical AI teams, that means more data generated at scale, more scenarios tested, and shorter development and deployment cycles.
