Z.ai is out with its next-generation flagship AI model and has named it GLM-5.1. With its combination of extensive model size, operational efficiency, and superior reasoning functions, the model represents a major step forward in large language models. The system improves upon previous GLM models ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Topic modeling uncovers hidden themes in large document collections. Traditional methods like Latent Dirichlet Allocation rely on word frequency and treat text as bags of words, often missing deeper context and meaning. BERTopic takes a different route, combining transformer embeddings, clustering, ...

Complex prediction problems often lead to ensembles because combining multiple models improves accuracy by reducing variance and capturing diverse patterns. However, these ensembles are impractical in production due to latency constraints and operational complexity. Instead of discarding them, ...

Most AI workflows follow the same loop: you upload files, ask a question, get an answer, and then everything resets. Nothing sticks. For large codebases or research collections, this becomes inefficient fast. Even when you revisit the same material, the model rereads it from scratch instead of ...

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become a standard technique for grounding large language models in external knowledge — but the moment you move beyond plain text and start mixing in images and videos, the whole approach starts to buckle. Visual data is token-heavy, semantically sparse ...

In this tutorial, we build and run a complete Pose2Sim pipeline on Colab to understand how markerless 3D kinematics works in practice. We begin with environment setup, configure the project for Colab’s headless runtime, and then walk through calibration, 2D pose estimation, synchronization, person ...
