      Various systems, but perhaps less popular ones.

      I know TM has a group chat but I don’t have facebook.

      Blast from the past

      Kagi's April Fools' homepage redesigned as a 1990s web portal, with a bright orange/yellow color scheme, starry border, retro logo, a "Fetch!" search button, nostalgic suggested searches like "Dial-up or ISDN?", sections for blog posts, app downloads, and community links, sidebar ads for Orion Browser and Kagi merch, and a deliberately broken PHP visitor counter in the footer.

      The retro homepage we implemented for April Fools may be gone, but many of you are not ready to let go of the nostalgia just yet.

    7. đź”— r/Leeds PSA If you want to quit smoking/vaping: Free Stop Smoking Service in Leeds rss

      Hi! I’m not associated with them or anything, just a long-time smoker trying to kick this nasty habit and thought I’d share for anyone else in the same boat.

      The Leeds Stop Smoking Service is completely free & accessible for all.

      Even if you’re only thinking about quitting or if you merely want to cut

      down on smoking it’s worth looking at their website.

      - You don’t need a GP referral to sign up, simply fill up their online form. It took me 10 minutes to answer all the questions and I was able to get an appointment within a week.

      - They offer both remote (via telephone) and face-to-face appointments with a counsellor OR free resources and support if you want to stop smoking by yourself.

      - It’s a 4-6 week long programme with check-in calls from your designated counsellor. Peer support groups are also available.

      - You can choose between free e-cigarettes (via their Swap to Stop initiative) or choose from a variety of Nicotine Replacement therapy supplies (gums, patches, and inhalators etc), and you can get your supplies mailed directly to you.

      They’ll tailor their recommendations to fit whatever position you’re in. Whether you’re just trying to reduce smoking or quit completely, or if you’re also managing a chronic illness or mental health condition while quitting, they’re there to help.

      Sign up here:

      1. General Stop Smoking Service

      2. Health Conditions Stop Smoking Service (specialised support if you have a diagnosed common mental illness or long-term physical health conditions)

      3. To refer someone else

      or call them at: 0800 169 4219

      Additional resources:

      - The NHS Stop Smoking app

      - National Smokefree helpline: 0300 123 1044

      (9am to 8pm Monday to Friday, and 11am to 4pm Saturday and Sunday)

      - Recommended reading & clinically approved:

      The Allen Carr’s Easy Way to Stop Smoking

      ••••

      My personal experience if you’re interested:

      I opted for a remote appointment and the counsellor I was assigned was incredibly empathetic and non-judgmental; she really listened and asked all the right questions such as why I want to quit and so on, and we came up with a combination of NRT supplies that would best fit my needs over the phone. For me, e-cigarettes weren’t an option because of my poor impulse control (thanks, ADHD!) and I ended up vaping more during past quitting attempts. And the hardest part of the habit for me to crack is the oral fixation and the smoking “ritual” so we opted for the inhalator (instead of patches) and gum for when my cravings are too intense. I also got a bunch of free resources and additional info in a follow-up email.

      I’m only a week in, but I’m doing much better with the additional support compared to all my previous quitting attempts. I couldn’t wait to share as I think it’s a wonderful resource that not many know of.

      Thanks for reading :)

      I was wondering if any of you guys currently go there or went there, what was your experience like? Did you regret your choice? I’m looking to come back to America after my studies here, so if any of yiu guys did that let me know!!

      Socially, how was it? I’m into running and biking so I would love to join a triathlete club here or whatever. Is there good routes around? (I know they are both in the city, but maybe some trails accessible by train?)

      Which city is your favorite? Which is more student friendly, safety and expenseses wise? Let me know!!

      help me raise money for homeless people in york! | apologies to the mods if this counts as self-promotion, but I'm hoping charity events might be an exception? on april 30 i will be sleeping outdoors at york community stadium to raise money for Hoping Kitchen and KEYS who both support homeless and vulnerable people in York (with other people as part of an event, i'm not just going to scale the walls and break in) i volunteer a few times a week with Carecent and Hoping Kitchen and i think everyone we help is so wonderful and deserves as much support as possible, which is why i'm really hoping i might be able to help raise some money for them this year. it obviously does not compare to actually sleeping rough in any way, and at worst I will be uncomfortable and probably not sleep at all, but my pets will miss me lots and be very sad. i am trying to raise at least £250 and currently have £0 of donations and i’m worried everyone will think i have no friends if no one sponsors me soon :( donate here or feel free to ask any questions! submitted by /u/kittywenham

      19 new family hubs open in Yorkshire and the Humber to support parents | More families are set to benefit from extra support on their doorstep. Nineteen new Best Start Family Hubs have opened across Yorkshire and the Humber, forming part of a new national network to support parents and children from pregnancy through to school age. The hubs offer free stay and play sessions, infant feeding advice, parenting support, and early help for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), aiming to provide easier access to vital services under one roof. Hubs are designed to help families save up to ÂŁ200 per year by reducing the need for private classes and offering free services such as stay and play. Additional support on debt and welfare is also available. Each hub includes outreach workers and practitioners to help identify and address additional needs early, ensuring families are not bounced between different services. Healthy Babies support will be integrated into the hubs, including midwifery, health visiting, infant feeding, and perinatal mental health support. The government plans to deliver up to 2,000 satellite locations by the end of 2028, offering family services from health centres, libraries, leisure centres, and churches to improve access. Across Yorkshire and the Humber, newly opened hubs include New Bewerley Children's Centre Family Services in Leeds, sites across Kirklees, 12 locations in East Riding of Yorkshire, and Scarborough Library. More than 200 hubs are now open nationally, with the government pledging to have 1,000 in operation by the end of 2028. submitted by /u/coffeewalnut08

      With the merging of https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/21534, all of the fixes to known Gemma 4 issues in Llama.cpp have been resolved. I've been running Gemma 4 31B on Q5 quants for some time now with no issues.

      Runtime hints:

      • remember to run with --chat-template-file with the interleaved template Aldehir has prepared (it's in the llama.cpp code under models/templates)
      • I strongly encourage running with --cache-ram 2048 -ctxcp 2 to avoid system RAM problems
      • running KV cache with Q5 K and Q4 V has shown no large performance degradation, of course YMMV

      Have fun :)

      (oh yeah, important remark - when I talk about llama.cpp here, I mean the source code, not the releases which lag behind - this refers to the code built from current master)

      Important note about building: DO NOT currently use CUDA 13.2 as it is CONFIRMED BROKEN (the NVidia people are on the case already) and will generate builds that will not work correctly.

      Description: Declarative language for types & APIs.

      What we like: Define the schema then generate idiomatic, type-safe code (Python, Go, Java, Rust, TS, etc). Dynamic serialization options e.g. binary or JSON. VS Code extension & LSP tooling. Supports backwards compatibility when changing schemas.

      What we dislike: Compile-time errors if you add a field, but don’t regenerate the code - this is the opposite to protobuf which handles it by defaulting values. This may be better, depending on your philosophy.

    3. đź”— Simon Willison Meta's new model is Muse Spark, and meta.ai chat has some interesting tools rss

      Meta announced Muse Spark today, their first model release since Llama 4 almost exactly a year ago. It's hosted, not open weights, and the API is currently "a private API preview to select users", but you can try it out today on meta.ai (Facebook or Instagram login required).

      Meta's self-reported benchmarks show it competitive with Opus 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and GPT 5.4 on selected benchmarks, though notably behind on Terminal-Bench 2.0. Meta themselves say they "continue to invest in areas with current performance gaps, such as long-horizon agentic systems and coding workflows".

      The model is exposed as two different modes on meta.ai - "Instant" and "Thinking". Meta promise a "Contemplating" mode in the future which they say will offer much longer reasoning time and should behave more like Gemini Deep Think or GPT-5.4 Pro.

      A couple of pelicans

      I prefer to run my pelican test via API to avoid being influenced by any invisible system prompts, but since that's not an option I ran it against the chat UI directly.

      Here's the pelican I got for "Instant":

      This is a pretty basic pelican. The bicycle is mangled, the pelican itself has a rectangular beak albeit with a hint of pouch curve below it. Not a very good one.

      And this one for "Thinking":

      Much better. Clearly a pelican. Bicycle is the correct shape. Pelican is wearing a blue cycling helmet (albeit badly rendered). Not a bad job at all.

      Both SVGs were rendered inline by the Meta AI interface. Interestingly, the Instant model output an SVG directly (with code comments) whereas the Thinking model wrapped it in a thin HTML shell with some unused Playables SDK v1.0.0 JavaScript libraries.

      Which got me curious...

      Poking around with tools

      Clearly Meta's chat harness has some tools wired up to it - at the very least it can render SVG and HTML as embedded frames, Claude Artifacts style.

      But what else can it do?

      I asked it:

      what tools do you have access to?

      And then:

      I want the exact tool names, parameter names and tool descriptions, in the original format

      It spat out detailed descriptions of 16 different tools. You can see the full list I got back here - credit to Meta for not telling their bot to hide these, since it's far less frustrating if I can get them out without having to mess around with jailbreaks.

      Here are highlights derived from that response:

      • Browse and search. browser.search can run a web search through an undisclosed search engine, browser.open can load the full page from one of those search results and browser.find can run pattern matches against the returned page content.

      • Meta content search. meta_1p.content_search can run "Semantic search across Instagram, Threads, and Facebook posts" - but only for posts the user has access to view which were created since 2025-01-01. This tool has some powerful looking parameters, including author_ids, key_celebrities, commented_by_user_ids, and liked_by_user_ids.

      • "Catalog search" - meta_1p.meta_catalog_search can "Search for products in Meta's product catalog", presumably for the "Shopping" option in the Meta AI model selector.

      • Image generation. media.image_gen generates images from prompts, and "returns a CDN URL and saves the image to the sandbox". It has modes "artistic" and "realistic" and can return "square", "vertical" or "landscape" images.

      • container.python_execution - yes! It's Code Interpreter, my favourite feature of both ChatGPT and Claude.

        Execute Python code in a remote sandbox environment. Python 3.9 with pandas, numpy, matplotlib, plotly, scikit-learn, PyMuPDF, Pillow, OpenCV, etc. Files persist at /mnt/data/.

        Python 3.9 is EOL these days but the library collection looks useful.

        I prompted "use python code to confirm sqlite version and python version" and got back Python 3.9.25 and SQLite 3.34.1 (from January 2021).

      • container.create_web_artifact - we saw this earlier with the HTML wrapper around the pelican: Meta AI can create HTML+JavaScript files in its container which can then be served up as secure sandboxed iframe interactives. "Set kind to html for websites/apps or svg for vector graphics."

      • container.download_meta_1p_media is interesting: "Download media from Meta 1P sources into the sandbox. Use post_id for Instagram/Facebook/Threads posts, or catalog_search_citation_id for catalog product images". So it looks like you can pull in content from other parts of Meta and then do fun Code Interpreter things to it in the sandbox.

      • container.file_search - "Search uploaded files in this conversation and return relevant excerpts" - I guess for digging through PDFs and similar?

      • Tools for editing files in the container - container.view, container.insert (with new_str and insert_line), container.str_replace. These look similar to Claude's text editor tool commands - these are becoming a common pattern across any file-equipped agent harness.

      • container.visual_grounding - see below, this one is fun.

      • subagents.spawn_agent - the sub-agent as a tool pattern. "Spawn an independent sub-agent for research, analysis, or delegation. It returns its final text response."

      • third_party.link_third_party_account - "Initiate account linking for a third-party service", currently Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, Gmail, or Outlook.

      Image analysis in the container

      Let's talk about that container.visual_grounding one. Here's the description in full:

      Description: Visual grounding tool that analyzes the image, identifies and labels objects, locates regions, or counts objects.

      Parameters:

      • object_names (array, required)
      • image_path (string, default "")
      • format_type ("bbox"|"point"|"count"|null, default "bbox")
      • title (string|null)[string]

      So it can take an image path, optional object names and return things in format bbox, point or count.

      This sounded to me like Meta's Segment Anything, (I later heard that it's not, this is a native feature of the model itself via a tool call with a custom system prompt). I decided to take it for a spin.

      Prompt:

      generate a photo of a raccoon sitting on a trash can wearing trash as a hat

      Response:

      Here you go — king of the alley, in full regalia:

      It's a photo of a raccoon wearing a disposable coffee cup and some newspaper and banana peel as a hat. It's pretty good

      Coffee cup crown, banana peel brim, newspaper feather. Peak raccoon fashion. Want me to make a wilder version — maybe night-vision, or wearing sunglasses too?

      My guess is that image generation in Meta AI is powered by their Emu model, or an updated version of it. This is the same pattern as ChatGPT and Gemini image generation, where images are generated by a tool call (here that's media.image_gen).

      The image_gen tool description said that it "saves the image to the sandbox", so my guess was that I'd then be able to run Python code against it. I tried:

      use python OpenCV to analyze that image and find out neat things about it

      Annoyingly it did not show me the code it ran, but it did create this image:

      OpenCV image analysis dashboard titled "OpenCV Analysis: Raccoon Trash Hat" with four panels: top-left shows the original 1280x1280 photo of a raccoon wearing a trash-lid hat with a coffee cup and newspaper on top in an alley; top-right shows a Canny edge detection version with white edges on black background labeled "Canny Edges - 4.6% density"; bottom-left shows "Top 5 Dominant Colors" as swatches with values RGB(20, 19, 24): 35.3%, RGB(43, 43, 47): 34.2%, RGB(84, 80, 79): 18.3%, RGB(139, 135, 131): 6.3%, RGB(210, 213, 208): 5.8%; bottom-right shows "Color Histograms" line chart with Red, Green, and Blue channels plotted from 0-250 on x-axis and 0-35000 on y-axis, peaking around value 25-50.

      Pretty neat! We can both generate images and then use them with Python tools.

      Next, the visual_grounding tool. Knowing the names of the tools makes it easy to refer to them in prompts:

      Now try the container.visual_grounding tool

      The response (full response here):

      Done — visual_grounding pinpointed every piece of the outfit with pixel-level precision:

      Visual grounding analysis of a raccoon photo titled "Visual Grounding: Found 8 objects" with colored dot annotations on the image marking each detected object: coffee cup (515,205) in yellow, banana peel (569,261) in light yellow, newspaper (399,279) in blue, right eye (461,396) in magenta, left eye (582,397) in pink, nose (514,472) in cyan, raccoon (553,548) in green, and trash can lid (550,892) in red. A legend at the bottom lists all objects with their normalized 0-1000 coordinates. Footer text reads "Coordinates are 0-1000 normalized. visual_grounding returned precise points for each component of the trash hat ensemble." Watermark reads "Meta AI".

      [...]

      Want me to run it in bbox mode next to draw boxes around the fur texture, or count mode to see how many individual whiskers it can detect?

      Once again, Meta AI wrapped the results from the tool in a custom HTML visualization. That's clearly point mode, but how about the others?

      I prompted:

      yes draw bounding boxes, can it do masks too?

      Response:

      Yes — bounding boxes work great. Masks? Not directly in visual_grounding; it only returns three formats: point, bbox, and count. No pixel-level segmentation masks.

      Here's the bbox output:

      Bounding box object detection visualization titled "Bounding Boxes (visual_grounding)" with subtitle "8 objects detected — coordinates are 0-1000 normalized" showing a raccoon photo with colored rectangular bounding boxes around detected objects: coffee cup in yellow [424,115,610,273] 186×158, banana peel in yellow [472,215,667,291] 195×76, newspaper in blue [305,223,548,315] 243×92, raccoon in green [270,240,892,845] 622×605, raccoon's face in purple [305,283,750,537] 445×254, right eye in magenta [442,379,489,413] 47×34, left eye in magenta [565,379,605,416] 40×37, and trash can lid in red [107,800,1000,998] 893×198. A legend at the bottom shows each object's name, coordinates, and pixel dimensions in colored cards. Watermark reads "Meta AI".

      What you’re seeing:

      • raccoon: big box from (270,240) to (892,845) — covers 62% of the width, basically the whole animal
      • coffee cup: (424,115)-(610,273) — sits highest, 158px tall in the 0-1000 space
      • banana peel: (472,215)-(667,291) — overlaps the cup's base, confirming it's draped over the side
      • newspaper: (305,223)-(548,315) — left ear coverage
      • trash can lid: (107,800)-(1000,998) — spans almost the full image width at the bottom
      • face: (305,283)-(750,537) — tight crop around the mask
      • eyes: both ~40Ă—37 pixel boxes, perfectly level at y=379

      Notice how the boxes nest: face is inside raccoon, eyes inside face, hat pieces overlap each other but stay above the face box. The tool is doing real object localization, not just guessing centers.

      About masks: since visual_grounding doesn't output them, I can fake them with OpenCV in the container. Two quick options:

      1. GrabCut — I give it the raccoon bbox, it iteratively segments fur from background and returns a binary mask
      2. SAM-style color threshold — use the bbox plus k-means to isolate the coffee cup or banana peel

      Want me to generate an actual alpha mask for the raccoon (cut it out from the alley), or for the trash hat pieces separately? Takes about 10 seconds and I can give you a transparent PNG.

      Here's the HTML for that bbox visualization.

      Finally I had it dump out the raw JSON for point mode, bbox mode and count mode. You can see that all here. The count mode is particularly interesting - here's that in full:

      [
  {
    "object_name": "raccoon whisker",
    "points": [
      {"x": 403, "y": 445},
      {"x": 397, "y": 458},
      {"x": 392, "y": 472},
      {"x": 391, "y": 485},
      {"x": 398, "y": 497},
      {"x": 415, "y": 512},
      {"x": 618, "y": 446},
      {"x": 622, "y": 461},
      {"x": 625, "y": 475},
      {"x": 628, "y": 488},
      {"x": 635, "y": 501},
      {"x": 651, "y": 518}
    ],
    "count": 12
  },
  {
    "object_name": "raccoon paw claw",
    "points": [
      {"x": 406, "y": 845},
      {"x": 424, "y": 847},
      {"x": 441, "y": 842},
      {"x": 473, "y": 833},
      {"x": 596, "y": 830},
      {"x": 635, "y": 844},
      {"x": 660, "y": 843},
      {"x": 679, "y": 838}
    ],
    "count": 8
  },
  {
    "object_name": "trash item on head",
    "points": [
      {"x": 514, "y": 191},
      {"x": 568, "y": 263},
      {"x": 392, "y": 274}
    ],
    "count": 3
  },
  {
    "object_name": "eye",
    "points": [
      {"x": 462, "y": 395},
      {"x": 582, "y": 398}
    ],
    "count": 2
  },
  {
    "object_name": "ear",
    "points": [
      {"x": 359, "y": 313},
      {"x": 680, "y": 294}
    ],
    "count": 2
  }
]

      So Meta AI has the ability to count a raccoon's whiskers baked into the default set of tools.

      Which means... it can count pelicans too!

      Screenshot of a Meta AI conversation where the user uploaded a photo of pelicans on rocks and asked "Count the pelicans". response reads: "That rocky haul-out is packed — I count 25 brown pelicans in your photo. I went bird by bird, including the ones tucked behind rocks, heads turned away, or just peeking out at the edges. They're all California brown pelicans, with those pale yellow heads and long bills, clustered on the riprap right at the waterline. To make it easy to verify, I've numbered each one on the image:" followed by an annotated version of the photo with red numbered circles (1–25) placed on each pelican. The annotated image has a downward chevron and an "Open" button at the bottom right.

      Here's that overlay exported as HTML.

      Update: Meta's Jack Wu confirms that these tools are part of the new harness they launched alongside the new model.

      Maybe open weights in the future?

      On Twitter Alexandr Wang said:

      this is step one. bigger models are already in development with infrastructure scaling to match. private api preview open to select partners today, with plans to open-source future versions.

      I really hope they do go back to open-sourcing their models. Llama 3.1/3.2/3.3 were excellent laptop-scale model families, and the introductory blog post for Muse Spark had this to say about efficiency:

      [...] we can reach the same capabilities with over an order of magnitude less compute than our previous model, Llama 4 Maverick. This improvement also makes Muse Spark significantly more efficient than the leading base models available for comparison.

      So are Meta back in the frontier model game? Artificial Analysis think so - they scored Meta Spark at 52, "behind only Gemini 3.1 Pro, GPT-5.4, and Claude Opus 4.6". Last year's Llama 4 Maverick and Scout scored 18 and 13 respectively.

      I'm waiting for API access - while the tool collection on meta.ai is quite strong the real test of a model like this is still what we can build on top of it.

Today on a flight I had an overwhelming bout of it, the pressure was genuinely unbearable, and I had no painkillers with me. I was on a cheap flight, in the cheap seats so no Wifi. I've been playing around with local LLMs on my laptop for a year or so, but it's always been pure novelty. It suddenly dawned on me that I could use Gemma 4 mid-air, and so I pulled out my laptop and asked for any way I could possibly reduce the pain. The Toynbee Maneuver, which I had never in my life heard of, slowly but surely relieved the pressure. Within 10 mins I felt completely fine. It may sound trivial, but without local AI I would have been in blinding pain for probably 90 mins – so it was a rare moment when new technology actually makes a palpable difference to your life.

      I've sold out

    22. đź”— Armin Ronacher Mario and Earendil rss

      Today I'm very happy to share that Mario Zechner is joining Earendil.

      First things first: I think you should read Mario's post. This is his news more than it is ours, and he tells his side of it better than I could. What I want to do here is add a more personal note about why this matters so much to me, how the last months led us here, and why I am so excited to have him on board.

      Last year changed the way many of us thought about software. It certainly changed the way I did. I spent much of 2025 building, probing, and questioning how to build software, and in many more ways what I want to do. If you are a regular reader of this blog you were along for the ride. I wrote a lot, experimented a lot, and tried to get a better sense for what these systems can actually do and what kinds of companies make sense to build around them. There was, and continues to be, a lot of excitement in the air, but also a lot of noise. It has become clear to me that it's not a question of whether AI systems can be useful but what kind of software and human-machine interactions we want to bring into the world with them.

      That is one of the reasons I have been so drawn to Mario's work and approaches.

      Pi is, in my opinion, one of the most thoughtful coding agents and agent infrastructure libraries in this space. Not because it is trying to be the loudest or the fastest, but because it is clearly built by someone who cares deeply about software quality, taste, extensibility, and design. In a moment where much of the industry is racing to ship ever more quickly, often at the cost of coherence and craft, Mario kept insisting on making something solid. That matters to me a great deal.

      I have known Mario for a long time, and one of the things I admire most about him is that he does not confuse velocity with progress. He has a strong sense for what good tools should feel like. He cares about details. He cares about whether something is well made. And he cares about building in a way that can last. Mario has been running Pi in a rather unusual way. He exerts back- pressure on the issue tracker and the pull requests through OSS vacations and other means.

      The last year has also made something else clearer to me: these systems are not only exciting, they are also capable of producing a great deal of damage. Sometimes that damage is obvious; sometimes it looks like low-grade degradation everywhere at once. More slop, more noise, more disingenuous emails in my inbox. There is a version of this future that makes people more distracted, more alienated, and less careful with one another.

      That is not a future I want to help build.

      At Earendil, Colin and I have been trying to think very carefully about what a different path might look like. That is a big part of what led us to Lefos.

      Lefos is our attempt to build a machine entity that is more thoughtful and more deliberate by design. Not an agent whose main purpose is to make everything a little more efficient so that we can produce even more forgettable output, but one that can help people communicate with more care, more clarity, and joy.

      Good software should not aim to optimize every minute of your life, but should create room for better and more joyful experiences, better relationships, and better ways of relating to one another. Especially in communication and software engineering, I think we should be aiming for more thought rather than more throughput. We should want tools that help people be more considerate, more present, and more human. If all we do is use these systems to accelerate the production of slop, we will have missed the opportunity entirely.

      This is also why Mario joining Earendil feels so meaningful to me. Pi and Lefos come from different starting points. There was a year of distance collaboration, but they are animated by a similar instinct: that quality matters, that design matters, and that trust is earned through care rather than captured through hype.

      I am very happy that Pi is coming along for the ride. Me and Colin care a lot about it, and we want to be good stewards of it. It has already played an important role in our own work over the last months, and I continue to believe it is one of the best foundations for building capable agents. We will have more to say soon about how we think about Pi's future and its relationship to Lefos, but the short version is simple: we want Pi to continue to exist as a high-quality, open, extensible piece of software, and we want to invest in making that future real. As for our thoughts of Pi's license, read more here and our company post here.
