Multi-Monitor Setups: Five Ways to Build One

Watch enough movies and you might start to believe that a multi-monitor setup is something exotic—the domain of genius hackers, paranoid supervillains, and hyper-vigilant day-traders. The truth is that people from all walks of life use multi-monitor setups. It's one of the most practical upgrades you can make to a PC, and it's easy to set up and use. Gamers keep digital worlds front and center while Discord, a map, and a guide sit one glance away. Streamers read chat live and monitor their output without breaking immersion. Colorists keep footage in view while every scope and panel lives on...

Gemini 4 Argon: Google’s Next Frontier Model

Google announced Gemini 4 Argon, a new frontier model rolling out to trusted cybersecurity defenders through its Fairwind Program. Built to handle deep reasoning across complex, long-horizon workflows, Argon delivers frontier performance in software engineering, enterprise knowledge work like legal and finance, and cybersecurity defense. The company is taking a phased approach to safely release capabilities at this level, actively engaging with the U.S. government's voluntary pre-release model access process while gradually expanding access. Argon will launch at an introductory price of $2...

Ollama now supports Jev-style decision models

Ollama now supports decision models based on TypeSafe's Jev API for fast, typed decisions. The new API is available as of Ollama 0.35 using the /v1/systemone endpoint. Send text as state with a set of named questions, and a model running locally answers them all in one request. This is useful for tasks requiring fast decisions, such as ticket triage, model routing, and content or safety moderation. curl http://localhost:11434/v1/systemone -d '{ "model": "nimble", "state": "Our checkout has returned 500 errors since 9am.", "questions": { "label": { "type": "choice", "instructions": "Which...

Building Smarter AI Stacks: Why Startups Are Ditching One-Size-Fits-All Models

Every week, I talk with founders building at an unbelievable pace. Teams are moving from inception to product-market fit faster than ever, with foundation models wired deeply into their core product workflows. Yet as startup architectures mature, a clear divide has emerged between teams struggling with margins and those scaling sustainably. The most effective engineering teams have abandoned the one-size-fits-all model strategy. In the early days of LLMs, the default architecture was simple: send every interaction to the largest model available. But as applications move into production,...

DeepSeek Introduces V4.1-Flash: Smaller Model with Native Visual Understanding

DeepSeek has released V4.1-Flash, the smallest model in its new architecture family, featuring native visual understanding and designed for greater capability, faster inference, and higher throughput. Asymmetric Architecture Delivers Efficiency V4.1-Flash is a 552-parameter mixture-of-experts (MoE) model built on a new Causal Encoder–Decoder architecture that uses just 8 billion active parameters for input processing and 16 billion for output generation. The model combines new pretraining methods with larger-scale reinforcement learning post-training to achieve benchmark results that exceed...

AI Models Bring Air Pollution Forecasting to the Desktop

Air pollution is a serious public health risk, contributing to an estimated 30,000 deaths in the U.K. alone last year. Data-driven insights can help — but computing air quality with traditional chemistry-based models is expensive, which limits how detailed they can be and how regularly they can be run. David Topping, a professor in the University of Manchester's department of Earth and environmental science, saw that the NVIDIA Earth-2 family of open AI models and tools had cracked a related problem for weather forecasting and asked whether the same generative frameworks could work for...
