So happy to highlight one of the many applications of Botanic-1, our latest plant FM, on @googlegemma 's website !

The good thing about the #DLSS 5 trend is that making things look realistic will become easy. Undifferentiated. And studios chasing that look will now have more time and resources to focus on actually making better games.

A small codex workflow that does WONDER, at almost no cost
Ask GPT 5.6 Luna (Max) to use the ImageGen skill for a 3D low-poly object.
Then to use the img2threejs skill.
Tada. I didn't even spend 1% of my weekly tokens for this.

My pico8 metroidvania is coming to Nintendo Switch!
* 64x64 resolution
* classic formula distilled to its core
* every pixel placed with intention
It is called Ascent, would you play it?

I finally finished my Gaussian Splat based FPS demo.
It's a @playcanvas project, runs in a browser. On a real photoscan. With physics, baked lighting, pathfinding NPCs.
Here's how 👇

This solo indie dev spent 10 years making an RPG game that looks 3D… but is actually 2D.
- Camera shifts from orthographic to perspective views
- Depth is simulated using parallax & warped sprites
- Hand-painted semi-open world
Would you play this? It’s called Bridgebourn.

The era of fine-tuned models is here! 🚀
We’re seeing three trendlines come together:
1️⃣ Fantastic open base models (Qwen, Kimi, ...) to fork from
2️⃣ Great inference providers (Fireworks, Groq, Cerebras, ...)
3️⃣ Awesome tooling (TRL, vLLM, ...)
Exciting times ahead! 🔥
My weekly take on tech #finetuning
> After years on the sidelines, fine-tuning may be entering a renaissance. New tools, new approaches, and a growing desire for control could spark a shift from generic to bespoke AI.

I'd love to stay on @qoder_ai_ide but it keeps hitting 100+ % CPU after 10-30 minutes leading to super slow chat 😭 (M1, 32 Go RAM, Sequoia)

🚀 Thrilled to announce Helium 1, our new 2B-parameter LLM, now available alongside dactory, an open-source pipeline to reproduce its training dataset covering all 24 EU official languages. Helium sets new standards within its size class on European languages!
Congrats @amtellezfdez !
Congrats! 🔥🔥🔥
🏆 We just won 1st place at the largest hackathon in Europe (@huggingface x @MistralAI) !!! Meet SAND-E !!!! ❤️✨
Attention, please! @kr0niker is about to speak at 10 AM PST (7 PM CET) on how to benchmark LLMs the smart way. As a brilliant professor, doctor, and speaker, @kr0niker has prepared plenty of great content (and memes). Register now!

MCP 🤝 OpenAI Agents SDK
You can now connect your Model Context Protocol servers to Agents: openai.github.io/openai-agen…
We’re also working on MCP support for the OpenAI API and ChatGPT desktop app—we’ll share some more news in the coming months.
Can't wait!
On Monday, the 24th, I'm proud to give a talk at @SotaFamily 's webinar.
My main talk will last for an hour to deep dive into the current state of on-device LLMs, exploring their advantages, performance trade-offs, and limitations.
The session will conclude with an open Q&A, where you can ask me anything related to this subject.

Figma now has an MCP server to talk to Cursor.
This MCP plugin allows Cursor to communicate with Figma to read UI designs and modify them programmatically.
100% free and opensource.
On Monday, the 24th, we at @SotaFamily are proud to host our second webinar. This time, @ngxson from @huggingface will deep dive into the current state of on-device LLMs
