Butterfly Effect has closed a funding round of more than $500 million, co-led by Boyu Capital and IDG Capital, months after Beijing ordered Meta to unwind its $2 billion-plus acquisition of the Chinese AI agent startup.
Sabi raised a $50M seed round led by Khosla Ventures to build a non-invasive brain-AI interface disguised as a baseball cap — custom EEG chip, 100,000 hours of neural training data, and a public debut planned for CES 2027.
Microsoft has introduced Decision-1, a compact decision-making model built on Qwen3.5-9B that it says is roughly 35 times faster than GPT-6 Sol on routine AI-agent decisions — priced at $0.042 per million input tokens, with output tokens free. Here is what the launch means, and what Microsoft still needs to prove.
Transcribe audio with OpenAI Whisper, generate readable SRT subtitles with word timestamps, burn them into video, and speed everything up with faster-whisper.
Install ComfyUI, load a Stable Diffusion checkpoint, and generate your first image with the default text-to-image workflow — then learn what each node does.
Fine-tune a small open model with LoRA and Unsloth on a free GPU: 4-bit loading, adapter training with TRL, saving the adapter, and running inference.
Build a complete RAG pipeline from open-source parts: chunk documents, embed them, store vectors in Qdrant, and answer with a local LLM.
Install Ollama, pull an open-weights model, customize it with a Modelfile, and call it from your own code via its local REST API — step by step.
Olmo-core 3, released Oct 1 by Ai2, is an open-source framework for training trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts models at 858 TFLOP/s per GPU.
CABI has released its first AI-ready datasets on Hugging Face: plant-health advisory knowledge from Kenya, Ethiopia and India, plus a palm weevil collection.
