A Rust-powered SEO crawler, AI coding guardrails, and a panic button for Mac stood out today.
Qwen completes its 3.5 lineup with four small models that punch well above their weight. GPT-5.4 gets accidentally leaked in Codex PRs, and the US government escalation against Anthropic continues.
Alibaba ships the final four Qwen3.5 models—0.8B, 2B, 4B, and 9B—completing the full series in just 16 days. All are natively multimodal (text, images, video from the same weights), with 262K context and Apache 2.0 licensing.
The 9B crushes GPT-5-Nano on MMMU-Pro (70.1 vs 57.2) and MathVision (78.9 vs 62.2). Runs on a single consumer GPU. The 0.8B fits on a phone.
ComfyUI gets a proper sketching interface, and new LoRAs for panoramic generation and fast distilled workflows.
A massive self-hosted directory, LibreOffice Online's return, and GrapheneOS breaking free from Pixel exclusivity.
