Inside Meta’s strategy for scaling AI models and personal agents

Meta is undergoing a significant transformation of its AI research and infrastructure to establish a new scaling ladder for its large language models. This initiative includes the creation of dedicated Superintelligence Labs focused on predictable scaling, where increased compute and data lead to measurable gains in capability. While the recent New Spark release served as a smaller-scale proof of concept, the company is currently training much larger frontier-tier models designed to compete with the industry's leading current offerings.

Proton Drive is (finally) coming to Linux desktops

Proton has confirmed it is building a native Proton Drive client for Linux desktops. The announcement came as part of a broader platform update. Proton has rebuilt Drive around a new shared SDK, with a single codebase powering its official apps on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and web (rather than separate implementations as before). It’s this unified approach that makes it easier for the Swiss-based company to add new features and integrations across all its official apps – and make an official client for Linux, which is being build on the SDK “from the ground up”, they say. Not that […]

Ape — новая открытая программная реализация Vulkan ICD

Представлен новый экспериментальный Vulkan-драйвер Ape — открытая программная реализация Vulkan ICD, написанная почти целиком на Zig и не использующая код Mesa. Проект пока не претендует на промышленное применение: автор прямо описывает его как учебную попытку «собрать драйвер руками» и предупреждает не использовать Ape в серьёзных проектах. Код опубликован под лицензией MIT.
Интерес к Ape появился после того, как в спецификацию Vulkan был добавлен отдельный vendor ID для Ape и driver ID для ApeSoft. Соответствующий pull request в репозитории KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Docs был смержен 6 июня 2026 года. В комментарии автор указал, что работает над любительским Vulkan-драйвером и приближается к прохождению всех тестов Vulkan 1.0.
По сути, Ape — это не драйвер для конкретной видеокарты, а программный Vulkan-рендерер, близкий по назначению к Mesa Lavapipe: Vulkan-команды выполняются силами собственной реализации, без обращения к аппаратному GPU-драйверу. При этом Ape не основан на Mesa и написан как самостоятельная кодовая база на Zig.

Armbian Imager 2.0

Выпущен Armbian Imager 2.0 — крупное обновление официальной утилиты Armbian для записи образов на SD-карты, USB-накопители и другие носители для одноплатных компьютеров. В новой версии переработаны интерфейс и движок записи, а главным изменением стала возможность заранее подготовить профиль первичной настройки: после прошивки плата может загрузиться уже с заданным пользователем, сетью, локалью и SSH-доступом. Релиз v2.0.0 опубликован на GitHub 6 июня 2026 года, а официальный анонс Armbian вышел 7 июня.
Armbian Imager — свободная кроссплатформенная программа для установки Armbian OS на SBC. Утилита умеет выбирать плату и образ, скачивать и распаковывать его, проверять SHA-сумму, записывать образ и затем сверять записанные данные с исходным образом. Исходный код распространяется под лицензией GPL-2.0.

📰 I left GNOME for COSMIC, tried KDE next, and only one felt right in the end

Having the choice between desktop environments is one of the luxuries of using Linux, but it's not as simple as changing toothpastes. It's not that it's difficult to install a new one, but it takes time to get used to the new environment as you build muscle memory and tweak settings to your liking. Despite the hassle of starting over again, the hype surrounding COSMIC got to me, and I ditched GNOME to give it a shot.

LibreOffice slams Euro-Office as ‘de facto ally of Microsoft’

Euro-Office launches its stable 1.0 release on June 9, billed as a ‘truly open’ sovereign alternative to Microsoft Office – a claim riling The Document Foundation, makers of LibreOffice. In an open letter published today, TDF’s Italo Vignoli takes issue with the upstart productivity suite’s pitch. He disputes Euro-Office’s marketing, which he says positions it as the first open-source office suite developed in Europe. It’s historically inaccurate as OpenOffice.org got there in 2001, followed by LibreOffice from 2010. But he calls out another issue. The European Union is making a big push for digital sovereignty, cutting down on how much […]
