QVAC first demo (android mobile) of its local on-device fine-tuning generalized framework, which aims to bring LORA fine-tuning to any device, scaling from the smallest embedded device to any smartphone, laptop, server, operating system. In combination with WIP multi-node features, we expect QVAC to become the standard for local on-device single/multi node inference and fine-tuning. Imagine a horde of AI agents being able to learn from your emails, notes and messages, maintaining 100℅ privacy, leveraging only your own devices. A P2P private intelligence network at your fingertips. That's how QVAC personal assistant will look like. Future of Intelligence won't be centralized. Infinite Ingelligence vibes.

A few days ago I asked if anyone was still interested in decentralized AI. Turns out... yeah! So here's lecture 1: Decentralized AI From Scratch We build a peer-to-peer AI from scratch in about 50 lines of Python. It runs on your laptop, answers your friends' WhatsApp messages using your local data, and begins to address the privacy / prompt-injection problem through user-specific context management.

Egoras teams up with Airtel Nigeria to launch the Cube Phone, an AI-powered device giving SMEs free internet, payments, and smart business tools in one. Egoras, in collaboration with Airtel Nigeria, is set to Launch the Cube Phone on April 28, a business Phone that gives Nigerian SMEs Direct Access to ContisX, a New SEC-Approved Stock Exchange Debuting September 2026 The device offers free internet for business use through a zero-rating system, eliminating data costs on its @CubeOsai platform, alongside built-in features like a contactless payment terminal, 100 customer payment cards, and AI-powered business tools. With less than 8% of Nigeria’s estimated 40 million small businesses accepting digital payments due to high POS costs, expensive data, and privacy concerns, the Cube Phone aims to remove these barriers. It also comes with an AI Business Suite (AI Legal, AI CFO, AI Coder, AI HR) to assist with contracts, finance, development, and HR, supporting multiple local languages.

You can run local AI models up to 120B without a $10,000 Mac Studio This phone-sized device is your own server for open-source models. 100% local and private. And you can use it to: - Power an agent like OpenClaw 24/7 - Completely replace a chatbot - Literally anything that requires an API It’s called Tiiny, and, once again, you can run the latest open-source models on it. Link below

New Demo: Connect any Hyperbolic GPU to a Colaboratory notebook using SSH tunneling with custom port selection. This demo guides you through setting up a Colab Local Runtime and running high-performance matrix multiplication directly on one of our H100 SXM instances. It's a great workflow for fine-tuning via Unsloth AI and academic environments where local compute is limited.

I got a smart meter recently and saw you can download a HDF file with the data so I had the idea of writing a script that could parse that and show the data in a useful manner. However I discovered that someone has already done this and done a really good job on it. The video explains how it works. In simple terms it uses the ESB smart meter data and shows a breakdown of how much data you are using and when and also recommends plans and estimates what each one would cost based on the data. The tool is available at easier to read on Laptop or Tablet or then your phone to Landscape.

It takes a lot of time for technology to mature and become magical. 🤩 AI is there now. When we envisaged AI Soundbox, soon it was clear that it won’t be just a payment device anymore. 🤖 It would rather be like a smartphone in the age of feature phones. QR was like a rotary phone, Soundbox a cellular, and this: a smartphone. 📱 A superhuman capability for a small and micro business that has never been available to these businesses. A very smart and capable business partner on the counter for 100s of millions of small businesses. At Paytm, we are very proud to lead innovations for small and micro businesses in India. Today we bring the perfect AI device for millions of businesses. Making technology and AI more inclusive. An AI system, with power and training of their payment and business data. It doesn’t anymore remain a payment device, rather becomes a business partner on the counter. Proud to launch and reinforcing our commitment to small and medium businesses to make Made-in-India AI 🇮🇳 🤖. Here is the launch demo of Paytm AI. Paytm AI Soundbox. You will love the use case which even we discovered in the launch. 🚀

Something cool - had Devin build a React Native app with Expo and test it on my phone in real time AI writes code in the cloud, I scan a QR code, app shows up on my device with hot reload. No local dev environment needed! I can run parallel sessions from anywhere.

The QVAC SDK is the "LEGO block" of the next era of computing. It’s a modular, local-first framework designed to turn anything—from a simple robot to an industrial server—into a sovereign, autonomous mind. Why build with QVAC? Atomic Intelligence: AI as a raw material embedded directly into your hardware. No Cloud Dependency: 0 latency and total privacy. If the internet breaks, your world keeps thinking. Infinite Scale: A single API for local AI that runs on any device, anywhere. From a child’s toy to the fabric of the universe, if you can dream it, you can build it. Start building the future: 🚀

I love the game of Boggle. This demo showcases our Gemini 2.0 Pro model’s coding abilities in AI Studio. It is mind boggling to think that it can write the full piece of code, including all the right data structures and search algorithms to find all valid words on a Boggle board from a relatively simple prompt asking it to do so. As a computer scientist, I'm also happy that it got its data structures right on the first trie. Discombobulating!

New open source project: Easel, a macOS workspace for AI-assisted product design and frontend iteration powered by the Codex SDK. Think of it as "Claude Design for Codex." It brings together a local project library, design-system setup, Codex chat, and a live web preview with a point-and-click inspector. Set up your design system however you like. Import one from Figma , bring your own, or have the agent generate it as a design.md. Then use it to build prototypes and slide decks. Codex-first, with Claude and other AI providers and local models planned for future releases. OpenAI Developers

Intelligence should not be a service you rent; it is a foundational element you possess. At Tether, we see AI as a new element of the periodic table - a raw material that can be embedded into the very fabric of the universe. Today, the QVAC SDK is officially live - the atomic unit for the next era of compute. From your smartphone today to the edge of the galaxy tomorrow, we are building the decentralized mind that doesn't require an uplink to function. Infinite Stable Intelligence: - Local-First: Runs privately on any device without permission or central servers. - Single API: A complete SDK for Vision, RAG, P2P networking, and LLM fine-tuning. - Unstoppable: No central point of failure if the internet breaks, your world keeps thinking. - Decentralized: Evolve through Peer-to-Peer Swarms of Infinite Intelligence. The era of Stable Intelligence has begun. Start building the future at

Pentagon unveils AI system that helps plan strikes within minutes Palantir presented a platform that combines intelligence data from multiple sources into a single interface and speeds up target analysis. According to the developers, during the operation against Iran the system reduced the time from target detection to strike from hours to just minutes. It analyzes data from dozens of sources and suggests possible courses of action, while the final decision to launch a strike is still made by a human.
