In this tutorial, we explore Microsoft VibeVoice in Colab and build a complete hands-on workflow for both speech recognition and real-time speech synthesis. We set up the environment from scratch, install the required dependencies, verify support for the latest VibeVoice models, and then walk through advanced capabilities such as speaker-aware transcription, context-guided ASR, batch audio […]

MiniMax, the AI research company behind the MiniMax omni-modal model stack, has released MMX-CLI — Node.js-based command-line interface that exposes the MiniMax AI platform’s full suite of generative capabilities, both to human developers working in a terminal and to AI agents running in tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and OpenCode. What Problem Is MMX-CLI Solving? […]

In this tutorial, we build a comprehensive, hands-on understanding of DuckDB-Python by working through its features directly in code on Colab. We start with the fundamentals of connection management and data generation, then move into real analytical workflows, including querying Pandas, Polars, and Arrow objects without manual loading, transforming results across multiple formats, and writing […]

In this tutorial, we walk through MolmoAct step by step and build a practical understanding of how action-reasoning models can reason in space from visual observations. We set up the environment, load the model, prepare multi-view image inputs, and explore how MolmoAct produces depth-aware reasoning, visual traces, and actionable robot outputs from natural language instructions. […]

Researchers from Meta AI and the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have introduced Neural Computers (NCs) — a proposed machine form in which a neural network itself acts as the running computer, rather than as a layer sitting on top of one. The research team presents both a theoretical framework and two […]

Liquid AI just released LFM2.5-VL-450M, an updated version of its earlier LFM2-VL-450M vision-language model. The new release introduces bounding box prediction, improved instruction following, expanded multilingual understanding, and function calling support — all within a 450M-parameter footprint designed to run directly on edge hardware ranging from embedded AI modules like NVIDIA Jetson Orin, to mini-PC […]

MiniMax has officially open-sourced MiniMax M2.7, making the model weights publicly available on Hugging Face. Originally announced on March 18, 2026, MiniMax M2.7 is the MiniMax’s most capable open-source model to date — and its first model to actively participate in its own development cycle, a meaningful shift in how large language models are built […]

In this tutorial, we build and operate a fully local, schema-valid OpenClaw runtime. We configure the OpenClaw gateway with strict loopback binding, set up authenticated model access through environment variables, and define a secure execution environment using the built-in exec tool. We then create a structured custom skill that the OpenClaw agent can discover and […]

Long-chain reasoning is one of the most compute-intensive tasks in modern large language models. When a model like DeepSeek-R1 or Qwen3 works through a complex math problem, it can generate tens of thousands of tokens before arriving at an answer. Every one of those tokens must be stored in what is called the KV cache […]
