OpenAI's GPT 5.6 release offers 72 possible configurations across model size, reasoning effort, task mode, and speed settings, leaving users to determine optimal defaults. The combinations span three …
Sebastian Raschka announced the release of his new book "Build a Reasoning Model (From Scratch)", a 440-page full-color guide that teaches readers how to implement modern reasoning techniques on a Qwe…
A new tutorial demonstrates how to set up a fully local coding agent using open-weight LLMs and open-source harnesses as an alternative to subscription-based services like Claude Code and Codex. The l…
Local open-weight large language models (LLMs) with 30 billion parameters and a mixture-of-experts architecture achieve roughly 40 tokens per second on a Mac or DGX Spark, matching GPT 5.5 Pro subscri…
Z.ai released GLM-5.2, an open-weight model that the author calls the best open-weight model available. The model introduces IndexShare, a cross-layer reuse trick for DeepSeek Sparse Attention that re…
WeiboAI released VibeThinker-3B, a 3.09B-parameter coding and reasoning model built on Qwen2.5-Coder-3B that achieves performance close to much larger systems through extensive post-training, includin…
Researchers Sebastian Raschka released a curated list of LLM research papers from January to May 2026, focusing on reasoning models, reinforcement learning, and efficient inference. The list, organize…
Google's Gemma 4, DeepSeek V4, and other new open-weight large language models incorporate architecture changes like KV sharing, compressed convolutional attention, and layer-wise attention budgeting …
