The Creator of oMLX Joins Hugging Face to Push Local AI Forward on Apple Devices
Jun Kim, who built and maintains oMLX, is now a full-time Hugging Face hire. The move puts serious muscle behind the open-source toolkit that lets Apple Silicon chips run AI models without a cloud connection.
A UK University Trained an AI Air Pollution Forecaster in Two Days, Then Moved It to a Desktop
Researchers at the University of Manchester used Nvidia's weather AI tools to build a UK-wide pollution model accurate to a few square kilometres. The same model that needed a national supercomputer to train now runs on a desk.
KDE Turns 30 and Someone Wants to Build AI Into the Desktop Itself
A proposal at this weekend's KDE conference in Austria imagines a desktop that learns who you are and rebuilds itself around you. Not everyone will love that idea.
Nvidia's Free PAIR Software Lets Every PC in Your Home Share the AI Workload
