parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v2 is a 600-million-parameter automatic speech recognition (ASR) model by nvidia designed for high-quality English transcription, featuring support for punctuation, capitalization, and accurate timestamp prediction.

It seems better than whisper-3 large (https://huggingface.co/spaces/hf-audio/open_asr_leaderboard) with 1B less parameters.

Microsoft will open source the code in the GitHub Copilot Chat extension under the MIT license and then refactor the relevant components of the extension into VS Code core making it fully open source.

Microsoft and Google released their coding agents - probably as an answer to Codex from OpenAI:

https://github.com/apple/container

macOS 26 is getting native support for Linux containers.
Apple open sourced a tool for creating and running Linux containers using lightweight virtual machines on a Mac. It's written in Swift, and optimized for Apple silicon.

https://www.diabrowser.com/

Dia, the new AI browser from the browser company, is now available for arc members.

https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/discussions/4906

Filebrowser is now in maintenance mode and is not accepting any pull requests anymore.

There’s a successor available at https://github.com/gtsteffaniak/filebrowser but it’s not stable yet.

https://www.docker.com/blog/docker-desktop-4-42-native-ipv6-built-in-mcp-and-better-model-packaging/

Docker desktop adds native IPv6, built-in MCP, and better model packaging.

One of the important parts is:
"Unlike typical setups that run MCP servers via npx or uvx processes with broad access to the host system, Docker Desktop runs these servers inside isolated containers with well-defined security boundaries. All container images are cryptographically signed, with proper isolation of secrets and configuration data."

Two researchers released an early version of their new LM architecture.
The advantage is that it does not use any variant of multi-head attention or recurrence, and it works well with long context lengths. They are calling it "Avey". Everything is open-sourced under a Apache-2.0 license.

The main advantage would be to massively decrease the memory usage for the context window, that means even a context of 100k+ tokens would still be compute and not memory bound. It’s quite early and slower than current tech though.
