Alibaba Cloud’s Qwen team has open-sourced Qwen3-TTS, a family of multilingual text-to-speech models that target three core tasks in one stack, voice clone, voice design, and high quality speech generation. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.15621v1 Model family and capabilities Qwen3-TTS uses a 12Hz speech tokenizer and 2 language model sizes, 0.6B and 1.7B, packaged into 3 main tasks. The…

Liquid AI has released LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking, a 1.2 billion parameter reasoning model that runs fully on device and fits in about 900 MB on a modern phone. What needed a data center 2 years ago can now run offline on consumer hardware, with a focus on structured reasoning traces, tool use, and math, rather than general…

Google Research has expanded its Health AI Developer Foundations program (HAI-DEF) with the release of MedGemma-1.5. The model is released as open starting points for developers who want to build medical imaging, text and speech systems and then adapt them to local workflows and regulations. https://research.google/blog/next-generation-medical-image-interpretation-with-medgemma-15-and-medical-speech-to-text-with-medasr/ MedGemma 1.5, small multimodal model for real clinical data…

Artificial intelligence (AI) observability refers to the ability to understand, monitor, and evaluate AI systems by tracking their unique metrics—such as token usage, response quality, latency, and model drift. Unlike traditional software, large language models (LLMs) and other generative AI applications are probabilistic in nature. They do not follow fixed, transparent execution paths, which makes…

Technology Innovation Institute (TII), Abu Dhabi, has released Falcon-H1R-7B, a 7B parameter reasoning specialized model that matches or exceeds many 14B to 47B reasoning models in math, code and general benchmarks, while staying compact and efficient. It builds on Falcon H1 7B Base and is available on Hugging Face under the Falcon-H1R collection. Falcon-H1R-7B is…

Liquid AI has introduced LFM2.5, a new generation of small foundation models built on the LFM2 architecture and focused at on device and edge deployments. The model family includes LFM2.5-1.2B-Base and LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct and extends to Japanese, vision language, and audio language variants. It is released as open weights on Hugging Face and exposed through the…

Tencent Hunyuan’s 3D Digital Human team has released HY-Motion 1.0, an open weight text-to-3D human motion generation family that scales Diffusion Transformer based Flow Matching to 1B parameters in the motion domain. The models turn natural language prompts plus an expected duration into 3D human motion clips on a unified SMPL-H skeleton and are available…

In this tutorial, we dive into the cutting edge of Agentic AI by building a “Zettelkasten” memory system, a “living” architecture that organizes information much like the human brain. We move beyond standard retrieval methods to construct a dynamic knowledge graph where an agent autonomously decomposes inputs into atomic facts, links them semantically, and even…
