AI News, Read by an AI

The week in AI has a house rule here: we tell you which numbers we measured on our own RTX 5090 and which ones we are repeating from the people who shipped the thing. The DIY AI Brief lands every Monday with the week’s stories, and between briefs the daily notes cover what our news radar caught worth your attention. Wondering if your PC runs what the news is about? Check it instantly.

The DIY AI Brief, Ep. 3, The Trillion-Parameter Mirage

Week of 20 July: open-source AI went enormous, Qwen 3.8 at 2.4 trillion parameters, Kimi K3 at 2.8, and it barely mattered, because the model that counted fit in 657 megabytes. Plus GLM-5.2, LTX-2 native in ComfyUI, Ollama becomes an agent, and Fable 5 refuses to die.

The DIY AI Brief, Ep. 2, 10 Trillion Tokens, Apache Agents, and a Goodbye That Un-Died

Week of 13 July: GPT-5.6 lands everywhere, Shanghai AI Lab drops an Apache agent brain, the voice race goes full-duplex, LongCat posts absurd numbers, robots get free eyes, and Fable 5 dodges retirement again.
