Window: last 24 hours (reported on 2026-03-31 JST)
Models
- SycoFact 4B - Open model for detecting sycophancy & confirmation of delusions — newly shared open 4B model focused on sycophancy/delusion detection with benchmark claims.
- LongCat-AudioDiT: High-Fidelity Diffusion Text-to-Speech in the Waveform Latent Space — new TTS model/paper signal with diffusion-based waveform-latent approach.
- Qwen 3.6 spotted! — high-engagement early signal of a possible upcoming Qwen release (teaser-level, not full release notes yet).
Tools/Frameworks
- New - Apple Neural Engine (ANE) backend for llama.cpp — concrete backend update for running llama.cpp via Apple’s ANE path.
- Zanat: an open-source CLI + MCP server to version, share, and install AI agent skills via Git — new tooling release for skill packaging/distribution workflows.
- anemll-flash-mlx: Simple toolkit to speed up Flash-MoE experiments on Apple Silicon with MLX — utility toolkit for Apple Silicon Flash-MoE experimentation.
Resources
- llama.cpp at 100k stars — milestone ecosystem signal for the core local inference stack.
- I tested as many of the small local and OpenRouter models I could with my own agentic text-to-SQL benchmark — practical benchmark write-up for agentic SQL use-cases.
- Stanford and Harvard just dropped the most disturbing AI paper of the year — widely discussed research pointer with substantial community review.
