SpeciesNet is an open-source artificial intelligence model designed to support wildlife conservation globally. The project aims to provide accessible tools for monitoring and protecting animal species.
Oracle has released a new version of Solaris CBE (Common Build Environment), available for free to open-source developers and non-production uses. This release provides an updated development environment for Solaris 11.4.
Norwegian startup Unleash raised $35M for its open-source feature management platform. The goal is to provide development teams with a safety net as AI-generated code outpaces human review capabilities. The platform aims to govern AI-produced code, a...
SkillNet is a new open-source infrastructure designed to create, evaluate, and organize the skills of artificial intelligence agents. The system aims to overcome the limitations of isolated learning, enabling agents to reuse and improve existing skil...
New uncensored versions of the Qwen3.5 models are available, with 27B and 2B parameter variants. The 27B version offers a 262K token context and is fully functional, while the 2B version is intended as a proof of concept. Both include mmproj files fo...
Unsloth releases a final update for Qwen3.5 models in GGUF format, focusing on improving the size/KLD divergence tradeoff. Optimizations include a new calibration dataset and a reduction in maximum KLD divergence, resulting in improvements in chat, c...
Redox OS developers have announced significant progress, including the implementation of the Vulkan API and native support for Node.js. These updates expand the capabilities of the open-source operating system written in Rust, opening new possibiliti...
AMD is staging improvements to the AMDGPU and AMDKFD kernel drivers for the upcoming Linux 7.1 cycle. The updates primarily focus on the integration of DCN 4.2 IP and GFX 12.1, with a particular emphasis on support for GCN 1.1 APUs.
A new browser for the npm registry has launched in alpha, following grassroots demand for an alternative to the official npmjs.com interface. The project, initiated by Nuxt lead Daniel Roe, has quickly attracted wide support.
Despite initial issues with open-source drivers, Intel's GMA500 driver, created to support PowerVR SGX graphics hardware (code-named Poulsbo), continues to receive updates in the Linux kernel, almost twenty years after its introduction. An example of...
Alibaba's CEO has confirmed that the large language model (LLM) Qwen will continue to be developed and distributed under an open-source license. This strategic decision could foster the model's adoption in on-premise scenarios, offering greater flexi...
An experiment involves an AI agent, written in Rust, autonomously evolving. The agent analyzes its own code, logs, and GitHub issues to decide how to improve itself, committing changes if the tests pass. The process is transparent, with the Git log a...
A new open-source AI model, Evo 2, has been trained on genomes from all three domains of life, including bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. This system can identify key features even in complex genomes, like ours, opening new perspectives in biologic...
Intel is preparing support for the Xe3P graphics architecture in the Mesa OpenGL "Iris" and Vulkan "ANV" open-source drivers. This follows the enablement of Xe3P in the mainline Linux kernel for upcoming Nova Lake integrated graphics and the Crescent...
LangChain introduces a set of open source 'skills' to enhance the capabilities of AI agents within its ecosystem. These skills, curated instructions and resources, are dynamically loaded to optimize agent performance in specialized tasks, showing sig...
Gram is a new text editor written in Rust, created by removing almost all the fancy features from Zed, including AI and chat functionalities. Gram's developer claims that Zed Industries changed its terms of service following the release of the fork.
AMD has open-sourced ROCprof Trace Decoder, a tool useful for developers working with the AMD GPU compute stack. This decoder facilitates the analysis of execution traces, which is essential for optimizing application performance.
Tangled, a Finland-linked code collaboration platform, has secured €3.8 million in funding. The aim is to scale its decentralized Git network and position itself as a European alternative to GitHub, leveraging a round led by byFounders and with suppo...
