Liquid AI has released two open-weight decision models: d1-3B and d1-omni-600M (experimental). Unlike generative models that produce tokens sequentially, decision models answer questions in a single forward pass, making them suitable for edge deployment.
d1-3B is trained from LFM2.5-VL-3B, a decoder-only vision language model that accepts text and images. d1-omni-600M is trained from LFM2.5-Encoder-350M, a bidirectional encoder that adds vision and audio encoders, accepting either text and images or text and audio as inputs. The d1-omni-600M model is currently in early research release and...
Developers can now configure Claude Desktop to work with Ollama as a third-party gateway provider, allowing them to use open models locally on their computer or access Ollama's cloud models, while retaining the ability to switch back to their existing Claude setup.
Connect Claude to Ollama
Open Ollama and select Claude, then turn Claude on. Ollama will configure the third-party gateway automatically. You can then choose any model within Ollama—both local and cloud-based. Turn Claude off in Ollama to restore your previous setup.

Razer announced the Base Station V3 Chroma, a smart RGB gaming headset stand with USB ports that automates battlestation setup through headset detection and custom profiles.
The standout feature is Seamless Headset Detection, which works with any headset compatible with Razer Synapse. When you lift the headset, a custom profile automatically switches Chroma RGB lighting, audio and mic inputs, launches games, triggers global shortcuts, and runs macros. Once the headset returns to the stand, everything reverts to the default setup with no manual intervention needed.
Custom profiles can be...
Last week, I wanted a small version of the prompt rewriter that ships with Qwen-Image 2.1. The official one is a 9B model that needs about 20 GB of memory and thinks for thousands of tokens before writing a single paragraph. The Hub had only compressed copies of that same 9B model. So I described what I wanted to ML-Intern, and the next day I had a 0.8B version that runs on a CPU. It returns valid output 99.7% of the time and uses about a quarter of the teacher's tokens. The compute for the whole project, including having the 9B model label 8,797 example requests, came to USD 16.

Anthropic has released Claude Haiku 5.5, designed for high-volume, cost-sensitive tasks like summaries, data compaction, database queries, and classification requests. The model also serves as a subagent for coding work alongside Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5, and excels at speed-sensitive applications including live customer support and browser automation.
Haiku 5.5 costs approximately 75% less to run than Haiku 4.5 on average.
The launch includes broader pricing improvements: Anthropic is halving the price of Claude Sonnet 5.5's cache reads—reducing Sonnet 5.5's cost on most agentic work by...
