Decentralized LLM training meets transparency—CrowdGPT invites anyone to help build a 1B‑parameter model with full data and weights open to the public.

Whistle: Cactus Compute’s 16.9 MB open‑source speech‑to‑text model offers efficient, offline transcription, yet sparks debate over its marketing motives.

Oído, Lokutor’s low‑cost, low‑power speech model for ESP32‑S3, outperforms Whisper‑tiny.en with 3.7 % WER and runs on a $5 board – perfect for edge AI and privacy‑aware devices.

Build a six‑GPU, compact HPC rig with an AMD EPYC 7262, ROMED8‑2T motherboard, and six NVIDIA V100 16GB PCIe GPUs to run large language models like Qwen3.8‑Next‑Flash and GLM 5.3 efficiently.

Small language models can run on old phones: Qwen3‑0.6B powers a 2017 Galaxy Note 8 to navigate web pages flawlessly, proving edge AI’s future is here.

New SpeakoFlow Mini cleans dictations with 70.7% accuracy, outpacing GPT‑5.6 Luna and fine‑tuning a Qwen3.5 model for precise, offline speech‑to‑text edits.
