Meta is releasing Muse Glimmer under an Apache 2.0 licence for local AI agents that can run on a consumer GPU. The companyâs Superintelligence Labs has released the 30-billion-parameter modelâs weights on Hugging Face. Meta says developers can use it for local coding, function calling, local agents, and LLM-as-a-judge evaluation. The release targets an operational [âŚ] The post Meta Muse Glimmer brings local AI agents to consumer GPUs appeared first on AI News.
Physics AI can now explore thousands of design variations in the time it would take a traditional simulation to chew through a handful of them.

The deadline nobody missed Every expiry story we've written here has the same shape. A certificate lapses, nobody was watching, something breaks, and everyone is surprised. A Splunk license at a federal agency. Microsoft's own network connectivity tool. Same plot, different logo. This one is the opposite, and that's what makes it worth reading.

Challenge 2: Dashboard Walkthrough + Nash Demo What I Learned I learned how to navigate the Backboard dashboard and use its built-in features without writing any code. I discovered that the dashboard tracks activity with charts, saves conversations as threads, and supports memory so the assistant can recall facts across different chats. I also learned about Nash, a chat app built on the same platform, which allows me to switch between models seamlessly and even generate images. What I Did I logg...
A âDownload all as ZIPâ button in React starts simple. A production version also needs progress, cancellation, retry, useful errors, and a plan for archives that are too large for browser memory.

Everyday files can be zipped entirely in the browser. When the same feature needs to handle multi-GB archives o...
Introduction Tennis players often find themselves in a feedback vacuum. Without a coach physically present, pinpointing whatâs wrong with a stroke becomes a guessing game. This gap in immediate, stroke-specific guidance is a silent killer of progress, leaving players to rely on sporadic coaching sessions or self-diagnosis, which often misses the mark. The problem isnât just about lack of access to coachesâitâs about the inability to see and correct subtle technique flaws in real time. Enter Rall...
Every team I've worked with has unwritten rules â who to ask before touching auth, which decisions are settled, what "in progress" actually means. They used to travel by osmosis. Once everyone on the team is coding with an agent, osmosis stops working, because half the conversation now happens in someone's private session. This is the one-page agreement we ended up writing down, and why each clause is in it. When every developer on a team codes with an AI agent, one of the first things to break ...
Introduction: The Debate Over Code Comments In the trenches of software development, a quiet but fierce debate rages: are code comments still relevant? On one side, the prevailing narrative dismisses comments as "mostly useless"âredundant, outdated, or worse, misleading. This perspective has gained traction, fueled by the rise of self-documenting practices like meaningful variable names and modular design. Developers, under the gun of tight deadlines, increasingly treat comments as an afterthoug...
Comments in code are often deemed "mostly useless" these days. They are, supposedly, mostly obvious, stale, and repeat what the code already says. And so people pay less attention to them both when reading and writing code. That trend sucks. When used right, comments are genuinely useful and sometimes critically important! So, I wrote about some of the kinds of comments I think earn their place, each with examples from real code bases. Hope you find it useful, and that we can recover some of the...
Every time I leave a role I try and write up where my philosophy landed and what I want to take into my next role. Having seen this play out at enough companies over the years to where people progressively lose motivation and stop believing change is possible I've come to the opinion that one of the most valuable things we can do as engineering leaders is to provide hope. The post goes more into it, but I do not mean any vapid rah-rah motivational speeches, I mean earning back that hope every da...

But we've seen a fair few massive indie h...
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has swung into theaters and shattered numerous records; everyone and their Aunt May went to see this film, it seems. And thankfully, itâs good! After a trilogy of Tom Holland movies that purposefully went in a different direction than what fans had come to expect of the character in prior adaptations--and to divisive results--Brand New Day ties up this iteration of Peter Parker in a much more familiar web. In the latest film, the hero is devoted to his career of fightin...
Overwatch is making big changes to its battle pass as part of Season 4, with a new multi-track system that even gives players an option to swap out and replace a skin they don't want. As explained in a new "Director's Take" blog post by Overwatch product director Chris McCabe, Blizzard said it recognizes that due to Overwatch's ever-expanding roster of 50+ heroes, not every battle pass will have rewards for the heroes a particular player is most excited about. The solution Blizzard is introducin...
The removal of Rush from Battlefield 6 isn't going over well within the game's community, as developer Battlefield Studios confirms it's exploring ways to bring it back. Playlists for the mode, along with several others like King of the Hill and Team Deathmatch, were removed with no real warning or fanfare from Battlefield 6 following its minor patch 1.4.1.5 update on August 4. The modes were also removed from custom searches, relegating the modes to Battlefield 6's Portal custom games. Accordin...
Out of all of Xbox's studios (of which there are admittedly fewer now following mass layoffs and studio divestitures), Blizzard is reportedly the "top performing." That's according to a new report from Windows Central based on emails sent by Blizzard president Johanna Faries to staff last week.

Faries went o...

The Nintendo Switch version of Aliens: Fireteam Elite is now completely removed from sale and impossible to play for people who bought it. Developer Cold Iron Studios announced earlier this year that Fireteam Elite, a game that runs in the cloud and not locally, would be shut down on August 5, and now that day has come. The game was delisted on the Switch's eShop earlier this year, along with other digital platforms. However, the game remains playable on other platforms in an offline state. Beca...
