Exciting to see this soon after someone got the Fairphone 6 camera working on postmarketOS: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49338285 The 6+ is a different model, but the announcement says the camera module is the same.

Muse Glimmer doesn't redeem Meta, but it's a contribution to the commons and the Apache 2.0 licensing is an improvement from the restricted licenses attached to Llama. If even Meta can use a permissive license for its model weight

Even with US sanctions, Chinese AI companies would continue to serve users in every other country in the world (including China itself), so I don't see why they would stop releasing open weight models.

OpenAI is currently a PBC that metastasized out of the original nonprofit also called OpenAI which owns 26% of that PBC. But yes, it is ridiculous.

Unlike Claude Fable, once an open weights model is released, it's available forever (or at least until every copy is lost or deleted, which won't be soon). Open weights models are already great, and the ones that are already relea

I have no reason to care about the interests of these companies. My interests are best served with a competitive selection of open weights models available for my use. OpenAI has the year-old GPT-OSS, and Anthropic has never released any op

I agree with you on the distinction. Meta's models are not even open weights, and yet they are claiming that their models are open source.

Whenever Meta claims their models are open source, you have to double-check. SAM License ( https://github.com/facebookresearch/sam3/blob/main/LICENSE ): > iv. Your use of the SAM Materials will not invo

Not impressed to see the official Pebble app and app store be closed source once again. Looks like Pebble is taking the Google Play route by making it inconvenient to use the underlying open source software without a proprietary service.

HP discontinued pointing sticks on all of their laptops, including their business workstations, a couple of years ago. Dell did the same, but a bit earlier.
