ds4: antirez’s Narrow Inference Engine for Running Frontier Models Locally
Salvatore Sanfilippo, better known as antirez and best known as the creator of Redis, has a new project: DwarfStar 4, or ds4, a small C inference engine that runs frontier open-weight models like DeepSeek V4 and GLM 5.x locally on high-memory hardware. It went up on Hacker News and picked up momentum fast, and the […]
SkyCraft puts Minecraft inside Skyrim
SkyCraft is a mod that does something that sounds like a joke until you read the commit log: it runs Minecraft inside Skyrim. An SKSE plugin written in C++ and a Fabric mod written in Java are linked over shared memory, and Minecraft’s physics, inventory, HUD, blocks and combat play out in Skyrim’s world, drawn […]
unreal-agent brings async-first harness design to coding agents
A harness that never makes the model wait unreal-agent has been climbing GitHub’s trending list all week, at roughly 1.9k stars four days after it appeared, and the pitch behind it is simple enough to repeat in one line: the same model, doing the same work, up to 40 percent cheaper, because the harness never […]
virtio-nvgpu shares one Nvidia GPU across KVM guests at near-native speed
GPU sharing between virtual machines has always involved a trade you did not want to make. Passthrough gives one VM the whole card, vGPU licensing costs money and locks you to Nvidia’s stack, and API translation layers like Venus give up meaningful performance by translating every graphics call. A small project called virtio-nvgpu takes a […]
Z.ai open-sources its whole coding agent stack with ZCode
The harness, not just the model Z.ai, the company behind the GLM model family, open-sourced ZCode this week, and the interesting part is the scope. This is not a CLI script and a README. The repository contains the desktop client, the browser workspace, the backend services, the shared UI, and the agent runtime that powers […]
Human Atlas puts 2,234 selectable anatomy meshes in your browser
There is a new entry in the small category of open source projects that make the web feel like the future we were promised in the 1990s: Human Atlas, an interactive 3D anatomy explorer built with React, Three.js, and shadcn/ui. It takes the BodyParts3D adult male reference model and breaks it into 2,234 individually selectable […]
Jellyfin 12.0 drops the 10 and rewrites how playlists work
Jellyfin 12.0 is out, and the version number itself is the story. The project dropped the leading “10” from its scheme, so what would have been 10.12.0 ships as 12.0.0. That sounds cosmetic until you remember that 10.11.0 rewrote the entire library database and still looked, to anyone glancing at a version string, like a […]
Asahi Linux Reaches Official M3 Support
Asahi Linux, the project that reverse engineers Apple silicon for Linux, now officially supports Macs built on the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max. The announcement landed on the project blog this week under the title M2 Episode 1, and it carries both good news and the usual honest list of caveats. What works The […]
DeepSeek Harness: the plugin first framework for AI agents
DeepSeek’s open source agent framework, DeepSeek Harness, exploded onto GitHub this week and picked up close to 70,000 stars in a single day. The repo’s tagline is simple and a little audacious: “everything is a plugin.” That phrasing is doing a lot of work, and it’s worth unpacking what the project actually ships, because the […]
