LocalAI is the open source AI engine. Run any model, LLMs, vision, voice, image and video, on any hardware. No GPU required.

Developers are attached to tools because tools encode trust

The tools themselves are new and their capabilities are in constant flux. If your kitchen knife kept changing shape, weight, and edge, you’d have to relearn it every time; that’s a hard tool to build trust in. But it also points to a flaw in how you use that tool, the process around it, and the way the tool reinforces the process.

RFC 9851: TLS 1.2 is in Feature Freeze

Use of TLS 1.3, which fixes some known deficiencies in TLS 1.2, is growing. This document specifies that no changes will be approved for TLS 1.2 outside of urgent security fixes (as determined by TLS Working Group consensus), new TLS Exporter Labels, and new Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) Protocol IDs. This applies to TLS only; it does not apply to DTLS (in any DTLS version).

SwiftUI After 7 Years

Back in 2019, SwiftUI was announced as the future of Apple development. Seven years later, it still feels like a beta version struggling with stability, performance, and many other aspects. What’s actually wrong with SwiftUI?

The myth of Snow Leopard

It was a hot mess, but the myth is useful today.

Karpathy’s Pelican

We're starting to leave the territory where you'd test an LLM by e.g. "create an svg of pelican on a bicycle". As one idea to generalize it, I was interested what Opus 5 would do if I gave it the first paragraph of the Lord of the Rings, a 1M token budget (~$10) and asked for,Embedded video
