📰Linus T tells The Reg how Linux solo act became a global jam session
Ts'o, Hohndel and the man himself spill beans on how checks in the mail and GPL made it all possible If you know anything about Linux's history, you'll remember it all started with Linus Torvalds posting to the Minix Usenet group on August 25, 1991, that he was working on "a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones.

Пока весь мир ждет доступа к новой модели со зрением GPT-4V(ision), опенсорс команда (пара азитов со степенью PhD из американских вузов) уже выпустили свой аналог и бесплатную версию #LLaVA (Large Language and Vision Assistant), которая выдает результат (не) хуже GPT4V и может работать локально.
Вот такая скорость развития и конкуренции в этом новом #AI рынке.

MLX-VLM lets you run, chat with, and fine-tune Vision Language Models (VLMs) plus audio/video models on your Mac using MLX—install easily with `pip install -U mlx-vlm`. Use CLI for quick text/image/audio generation (e.g., `mlx_vlm.generate --model ... --image photo.jpg`), Gradio UI for chats, Python scripts, or a FastAPI server with OpenAI-compatible endpoints supporting multi-images/videos. Features like TurboQuant cut KV cache memory by 76%, and LoRA/QLoRA fine-tuning works on consumer hardware. You benefit by experimenting with powerful multimodal AI locally—fast, memory-efficient, no cloud costs, perfect for Mac users tweaking models affordably.
