1/ Offline computer-use models are here. Today, one running on our Mac made it all the way to hotel checkout. We ran Qwen3.8-27B from Qwen through Cua Driver. It also turned a flyer into a Calendar event and reconciled receipts. Every model token stayed on the Mac 🧵

nemotron 3 omni q8 on dgx spark 128gb vram cranking via hermes agent at 56 tok/s. first night of real local agentic on this box and local hits harder than i thought it would. q8 (near lossless quant, perplexity loss <1% vs fp16) running 256k context on 33 gb of unified memory, 90+ gb still free. multimodal omni weights included. hermes agent driving from telegram, talking to it from bed. speed: 56 tok/s generation, 1,300 tok/s prefill. for context, qwen 3.6 27b at q4 (heavy quant) on 3090 = 40 tok/s. nemotron at higher precision quant on spark beats qwen at lower precision quant on 3090. moe 3.5b active params architecture earns its keep. what i tested tonight: agentic tool calling works clean. ask it to check disks, it autonomously runs df -h through hermes agent. ask it to set up telegram gateway, it invokes the hermes-agent skill, walks through the prompts, completes the flow. overthinks a bit before tool calls (reasoning model trait) but lands the right move every time. researches api docs, internalizes, tests, documents. completes tasks. current models on dgx spark: 9 gguf files, 305 gb total, mix of qwen 3.6 27b dense (5 quants), nemotron omni (4 quants), deepseek v4-flash 158b q4 (the 112gb flagship test). more data coming this week as i benchmark each.

So…this is wild. In five seconds, you can create a fully linked wikipedia page on any topic in the entire universe. Perplexity just dropped a new feature to Pro users called “Perplexity Pages”. Type in a topic, it automatically creates a webpage for it, with links and sources, you can publish it, share the link around, other people can access it, and other people can ASK FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS to the page. View count and followup count are public. Bit strange that these models are trained on wikipedia though… Here’s the one I made, check it out:

You can now run Qwen 3.6 27B on <10GB of memory and retain 90% of the intelligence. Today, PrismML dropped Bonsai 27B - which takes their unique compression approach they have already successfully applied to Qwen3.6 8B and Flux2-Klein and applied it to a properly smart model. Here is it using an entire computer for deep research. Long horizon agentic calls already are strong with Qwen3.6 27B and they still are here - just on 10x less memory.

We've added a new "reasoning" focus (beta) on Perplexity for Pro users. It will use the new OpenAI o1-mini. There is no search integration yet. The model is slow, and usage is limited because of rate limits. It is good for puzzles, math, and coding. Pro searches are your best way to use multi-step reasoning + web search.

Alright guys, wow. Qwen 3.8 27B is basically Qwen 4. What we have here is one of the best one-shot shark survival games I've made with any model. I ran this same prompt through fable, and the biggest thing all models struggle with in this test is the top-down view of the sharks. Fable even had all of the fins reversed and details jumbled on the first turn. Before now, it was really a 2 to 8 turn test to get something final regardless of model. Qwen 3.8 27B just nailed this in one output, no harness at all, just purely the model thoroughly thinking before outputting the final result. On every asset used, different shark variants, everything, it all looks incredibly tight. The boat movement, shark speed and engagement, everything is so much better than I expected, and I was expecting a lot. Imagine what 8 turns would do in a harness? This confirms to me that while Qwen 3.8 27B thinks a lot, for the first time in a local model on the base weights, IT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE WORTH IT This is a Frontier Lab model result, and it ran on my 5090 at 60tps in Q5_K_M. I am just in complete astoundment at what Qwen has accomplished here, and I am incredibly grateful that this model is open source. The speed will also increase drastically with optimisations. This is just an incredible day. What a blessing. More to come!

BREAKING 🚨: Perplexity is preparing a release of Deep Research Alpha 🔥 As this feature works on Gemini and ChatGPT, perplexity can take more time to go through web resources and utilise its reasoning capabilities to complete the report. It seems like this feature has been temporarily available or is only available to a small percentage of users. Considering its "Alpha" status, it may happen that it would be released gradually. In the video, I am asking to categorise Perplexity-related posts from TestingCatalog, and it does quite a decent job. Speed is x4 👀

NVIDIA just released a new open source transcription model, Nemotron Speech ASR, designed from the ground up for low-latency use cases like voice agents. Here's a voice agent built with this new model. 24ms transcription finalization and total voice-to-voice inference time under 500ms. This agent actually uses *three* NVIDIA open source models: - Nemotron Speech ASR - Nemotron 3 Nano 30GB in a 4-bit quant (released in December) - A preview checkpoint of the upcoming Magpie text-to-speech model These models are all truly open source: weights, training data, training code, and inference code. This is a big deal! Jensen said in the CES keynote yesterday that he expects open source models to catch up to proprietary models this year in a number of categories. NVIDIA is putting their weight behind making this happen. (As Alan Kay said, the best way to predict the future is to invent it.) The code for this agent is open source too, of course. You can deploy it to production with Modal and Pipecat AI cloud, or run locally on an NVIDIA DGX Spark or RTX 5090.

Spent the last few days vibe coding on my NVIDIA DGX Spark. Here's what I learned. Qwen 3.5 122B took one minute and nine seconds to respond "Hi how are you doing". Unusable for vibe coding. Gemma 4 was fast but built a dot instead of a first person shooter game. GPT-OSS 120B was the sweet spot. Fast, capable, and actually produced working HTML. Open source models running locally are not replacing Claude Opus 4.6 or Codex with GPT 5.4. Not even close. But they're getting better every month. The new DGX Spark Bench is live on Real-world benchmarks for local models on local hardware. This is just the start. Full video below.

Local models just got a free intelligence upgrade. Someone took the new Qwen3.8-27B (the one that already runs in 22GB) and only changed the chat template. No fine-tune. No new training. Just a smarter system prompt that kills all the filler and forces the model to stay sharp. Result: the same weights are now fixing real post-cutoff bugs faster and cleaner than Claude Opus 5 High in their tests. They call it the Sharp template. It’s free. Drop it on any Qwen3.5 / 3.6 / 3.8 model and it just works with llama.cpp. This is the kind of quiet upgrade that actually moves the needle for people running models locally.
