Send us a text## New ToolsA flurry of new AI tools and platforms is broadening access to advanced technology across disciplines. Gradio has launched Trackio, an open-source, lightweight experiment tracker designed for ease of use, while its upcoming 5.35 update will drastically shrink client-side load, making apps snappier and more widely usable. Open Deep Research’s application allows anyone to generate in-depth reports utilizing open source LLMs, democratizing research capabilities. Meanwhile, a command-line Gemini AI agent now offers unprecedented free usage limits for developers, and Modular, in collaboration with Inworld AI, has released an ultra-fast, cost-effective text-to-speech service with state-of-the-art latency. Udio’s new “Sessions” feature empowers musicians to exert greater editorial control over AI-generated tracks, and LM Studio now integrates local LLMs with MCP servers, unlocking new possibilities for advanced local use. Together, these launches underscore an industry shift toward more accessible, powerful, and user-friendly AI solutions.## LLMsSeveral advancements highlight the evolution of large language models, particularly in extending capability, benchmarking, and efficiency. Alibaba’s WebDancer debuts as a powerful model for autonomous web reasoning and agentic search, achieving top results on web QA benchmarks and embracing a research-driven approach. LongWriter-Zero emerges as a promising model for generating exceptionally long, coherent text using reinforcement learning, outperforming previous techniques in long-form generation. Moondream 2B significantly boosts speed and accuracy in visual reasoning, with major improvements in text generation and object detection. Novel techniques from Anthropic demonstrate dramatic cost reductions for AI classifiers by reusing model activations and selectively retraining layers, signaling a path to more accessible and cost-efficient large-scale models. Google’s challenge, offering 1000 free Gemini 2.5 Pro API calls daily, furthers community engagement and encourages model testing, benchmarking, and widespread adoption. These advancements collectively reveal an industry focused on both pushing technical boundaries and optimizing for real-world deployment.## FeaturesKey updates are pushing existing AI products to new levels of performance and usability. Zoom has introduced RTMS, enabling real-time streaming of meeting data and opening the door for sophisticated, event-driven meeting tools such as automated note-takers. Anthropic’s “Claude in Claude” allows users to embed AI natively into projects, fostering dynamic artifact creation and sharing, which has already seen widespread adoption with hundreds of millions of creations. ImGui’s 1.92 update enhances graphical interfaces with improved texture protocols and font scaling, benefiting developers across the AI and graphics fields. Gradio’s forthcoming version vastly reduces app client size for quicker, more seamless user experiences. Additional innovations, like Udio’s timeline music editing and LM Studio’s expanded local server support, reflect a broader trend toward richer functionalities and better user control.## Tutorials & GuidesValuable educational resources are equipping developers and researchers to master advanced AI systems. New tutorials simplify adoption of DSPy, a fast-evolving framework forSupport the show🌍 INAI • The Open AI Hub The Intelligence Atlas → the world’s most comprehensive, open hub of AI knowledge. 2 Million+ tools, models, agents, tutorials & daily news—free for all, updated every day. https://github.com/inai-sandy/inAI-wiki
