   Edition 018 — Frontier scaffolding, a 5.9 GB model that keeps 98% of a 27B, and the week Google finally spoke

   Frontier scaffolding instead of chat: Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash, Claude Code Projects, Meta's Muse for Mac and Google's Gemini breach disclosure — plus DeepSeek's 890-byte KV cache, a 5.9 GB ternary 27B, Needle 3, real-time translation, music and video generation, and three humanoid stories.

   Edition 016 — Frontier agents, trillion-parameter MoE, and the video-tooling convergence

   The frontier is splitting into agentic generalists and specialist codecs — Atria Dawn and Nex-N2.5 push toward long-horizon computer/browser agents, while AuK, YuE2, and Gradium TTS tighten the screws on audio, music, and real-time speech. Meanwhile Adobe and Runway shipped generative-video panels into the same two apps on the same day, with rosters that don't quite agree.
