OpenAI's internal model keeps solving open math problems. Quantization breakthroughs everywhere — TurboQuant hits model weights, and llama.cpp gets a major new trick. Gemma 4 looks imminent.
Following GPT-5.4 Pro's first confirmed open-problem solve last month, OpenAI's unpublished internal model has now autonomously solved three additional Erdős-type problems in combinatorics. Mathematician Mehtaab Sawhney and OpenAI VP Kevin Weil confirmed the results. Paper published on arXiv.
Gemma 4 Release Imminent — References Found in AI Studio & Kaggle
References to "models/gemma-4" discovered in Google AI Studio's code and on Kaggle. Two models codenamed "Significant-Otter" and "Pteronura" already testing on LMArena, reportedly strong at vision and coding. Community expects drop within days.
Demis Hassabis Secretly Built a Hedge Fund Inside DeepMind
Hassabis reportedly built an internal hedge fund project at DeepMind attempting to beat Jim Simons' Renaissance Technologies using AI. Google shut it down. Raises questions about AI lab side ventures and compute allocation.
TurboQuant Applied to Model Weights — Qwen3.5-27B Fits on 16GB GPUs
TurboQuant technique extended beyond KV cache to actual model weights. Qwen3.5-27B achieves near-Q4_0 quality while being ~10% smaller, finally fitting on RTX 5060 Ti 16GB. Major breakthrough for running larger models on consumer hardware.
attn-rot Lands in llama.cpp — Q8 Now Approximates F16 Quality
Ggerganov merged a rotation-based quantization technique that delivers 80% of TurboQuant benefits with near-zero downsides. Q8 quantization now matches F16 quality. Better quantization = smarter models on the same hardware.
Arcee AI Releases Trinity-Large-Thinking
New large reasoning model from Arcee AI with 98% upvote ratio on r/LocalLLaMA, suggesting impressive quality for its class. Open weights on HuggingFace.
Falcon-OCR and Falcon-Perception — Vision Models from TII
Technology Innovation Institute released specialized vision models for document understanding and OCR. Open weights with llama.cpp support in progress. Strong at structured document parsing.
Bay Area Therapists Say AI Workers Are in Crisis
SF Standard reports a surge in AI workers seeking therapy for anxiety, burnout, and existential dread over the pace of change and implications of their own work.

Google launches a budget video generation API, a promising open-source video+audio model drops, and ComfyUI's 3D toolkit gets path tracing.
Google Veo 3.1 Lite — Most Cost-Effective Video Generation API
Google's most cost-efficient video generation model, now on the Gemini API. Less than 50% the cost of Veo 3.1 Fast. Text-to-video and image-to-video, 720p/1080p, flexible aspect ratios. Good for high-volume scalable video apps.
DaVinci MagiHuman — Open-Source Video + Audio Generation
15B single-stream Transformer that jointly generates video and audio. Apache 2.0 license. 80% win rate vs Ovi 1.1 in human eval. Community compares it to early SDXL — exciting core model with room to grow. 7 languages supported.
Action Director v9.3 — Path Tracing & Gaussian Splats in ComfyUI
Full 3D viewport node for ComfyUI now has path tracing, Gaussian splat rendering, HDRI, and scene saving. Outputs depth/normal/canny passes for ControlNet.

A wave of solid Mac utilities today, plus a charming self-hosted thermal printer and an open-source Plex client that might be worth a look.
Plezy — Open-Source Plex Client with HDR & Offline Downloads
Uses mpv for playback so codec support is excellent — HEVC, AV1, DTS, TrueHD, ASS subtitles. HDR & Dolby Vision on all platforms, offline downloads, Watch Together. No Plex Pass required for remote streaming.
Cling 2.0 — Fuzzy Search Any File in Under 50ms
Spotlight doesn't index dotfiles, system frameworks, or .plist files — so Raycast and Alfred can't find them either. Cling brings its own custom filesystem index. Finds what Spotlight misses, blazing fast.
