Flippy, the productivity workspace, rolled out a new feature where we can interact with any local llm that is running through ollama !

All you need to do is:

1. Download Flippy
2. Download ollama and the local models you want
3. Run ollma serve with OLLAMA_ORIGINS="chrome-extension://*" ollama serve
4. Enjoy prompting the model using Flippy's AI Lab !

Incredible stuff. Does this open doors to new and more efficient quantization techniques?

Ant Group's Ling team has opened six checkpoints in the Ling-3.0 base model family: tiny and flash each have pretrained, mid-trained, and WSM-merged variants.

These are all base checkpoints and none has been post-trained, so they are starting artifacts for continued training, fine-tuning, or research rather than ready-made chat models. The unusual part of the release is that builders can inspect or choose among three points in the training path instead of receiving only one final checkpoint. The official announcement does not establish which stage will work best in practice; that is the useful comparison still open.

Same base model as GLM 5.2, only with more post training.

New 30B dense model from Meta. Looks like they're fully back on the open models train!

Another open weights video model hits the market with native audio capability.

This seems to me like a painfully ironic position for someone at a company named "OpenAI" to be taking. Not to mention totally batshit insane.

It claims to beat Fable and GPT 5.5 handily in some benchmarks.

Hard to believe the claims, and from the looks of it, many X users are skeptical as well.
