Ollama: all aboard open models
Open models aren’t an experiment or a research project anymore. They’re now running inside the largest companies in the world — Ollama is used by 85% of the Fortune 500 — and it’s just the beginning.

Bun v1.3.14 was the last version of Bun written in Zig. Bun v1.4.0 will be the first version of Bun written in Rust.
Zed v1.10.0 adds llama.cpp as a language model provider and a git.inline_blame.location setting that can show current-line blame in the status bar. Format-on-save is now off by default except for languages with official formatters, and LLM providers, external agents and MCP servers move into the settings editor. Queued messages for the Zed agent are now sent after the generation ends. Agent sandboxing on Windows protects Git metadata unless access is approved.
Paperclip v2026.707.0 lets runtime secrets be scoped to an individual operator and checks before dispatch that the responsible person has supplied the values a run needs. A new Work Timeline page shows in a Gantt-style view when agents worked, how handoffs happened and where work overlapped. Custom sandbox images can be set up in the browser through a built-in SSH terminal, and a single new editor replaces the old environment variable editor.
Every Dub yearly plan now grants 12 months of usage upfront, on top of the 10% annual discount. A Business yearly plan, for instance, moves from 250K tracked events per month to 3M tracked events per year.
In shadcn/ui 4.13.0, base-ui becomes the default.
Every Val Town val now has its own blob storage, alongside the SQLite database each val already had. Vals with HTTP endpoints now include lightweight built-in analytics. A new agent plugin bundles the Val Town MCP with skills that teach agents to use the platform, and it is listed in Anthropic's official marketplace and also supports Codex and Cursor. GLM-5.2 is now available in Townie.
Zed v1.9.0 makes picker modals resizable by dragging, adds previews to File Finder, and introduces a text finder picker that previews results while you type as another project search view. The Agent Panel gains in-thread search with Ctrl/Cmd+F and a menu entry for adding a remote MCP server. A View Options menu in the Git Panel switches between list and tree views, changes sorting and groups by status. The zed CLI can generate shell completions with zed --completions.
Browser Use CLI 3.0 is built on Browser Harness, which hands agents a small Python harness they can edit instead of a preset list of browser actions. Where the old CLI offered set actions such as click and type, version 3.0 lets agents run Python freely in the browser and inspect, adapt and recover through their usual coding loop. The CLI installs with uv tool install browser-use.
Open WebUI v0.10.0 lets users share a folder and its chats with specific users, groups or everyone, with read or write access, while admins gate sharing through a Folders Sharing permission that is off by default. Long chats past a set token threshold can be summarized automatically, a feature that is also off by default, and hybrid search on pgvector now runs inside the database instead of loading the whole collection into memory. A new event system emits events for sign-ins, configuration changes, startup and more, which can go out as webhooks or trigger the new Event function written in Python. The update includes database migrations that cannot be downgraded, and chats and models with no explicit tool-calling mode now default to Native.
Code is especially predictable. It is full of closing brackets, repeated identifiers, and boilerplate, so the draft model’s proposals are accepted often.
Documenso v2.14.0 adds custom brand colours for emails, plus API endpoints for rejecting documents on behalf of recipients and for downloading certificate and audit log PDFs. Automated reminders are now capped before a resend, and overlapping fields show a warning. S3 checksums are sent only when required, so S3-compatible storage works. A bug that left signing request emails blank when organisation or team branding was on has been fixed.

A centered layout can be toggled to make things more comfortable.
Writing Machines will run again in Fall 2026.
While Jupyter notebooks are still used for some data ingestion workflows, marimo has increasingly become the preferred environment for building interactive, production-oriented analytical applications.
We ran the first cohort this spring.
Agent workloads are dominated by prompt processing. Every tool call is a new request, and every request resends the whole transcript: system prompt, tool definitions, and every file read so far.
A plausible link can be wrong.
The result came at an exorbitant price: $580.87 in API cost for 100 tasks.
Easydict 2.21.0 adds a Codex translation service that runs through the local Codex CLI, and services can fetch their model lists from the provider. The DeepSeek API gains thinking-effort presets with quick switching, and Uyghur joins the interface languages. You can turn off Youdao TTS for English words, and the input window keeps focus across multiple displays.
It supports Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.
Vulkan is now enabled by default, extending Ollama’s GPU acceleration to a wider range of hardware, including AMD and Intel devices.
If the new pricing works for you, you can keep using Copilot Chat in Zed without changing anything.
Models run locally, and the cloud is optional. Energy, cost, and latency are tracked alongside accuracy.
Since this inspection started running, our agent success rate has gone from roughly 75% to above 95%.
Val Town raised Pro pricing for new users to $25 a month or $250 a year, while existing Pro users keep paying $10 a month or $100 a year. Once monthly Townie credits run out, billing switches to pay-as-you-go with no markup on LLM inference. Townie now defaults to Claude Opus 4.6 with Allow all mode enabled. New vals on Free plans must be public, while existing private vals on Free accounts stay private.
Terminal Threads bring those sessions into the same sidebar where Zed already tracks agent work.
I find coding in Slow Mode to be more pleasant.
Models you will be able to run locally are not as capable as what you can get from the top AI labs.
Easydict 2.20.0 adds support for MDict dictionaries. It also fixes WindowServer stutter on the trackpad, which was caused by a leaked CGEventTap.
Firecrawl v2.10 introduces a /parse endpoint that takes local files such as PDF, DOCX and XLSX up to 50 MB and returns Markdown, JSON or a summary. Lockdown mode on /scrape answers only from the Firecrawl index and makes no outbound requests. The release also adds question, highlights and video scrape formats, along with official Go, Ruby and PHP SDKs.
Through ACP. We built an ACP adapter to bring Codex into Zed, JetBrains, or any ACP-compatible client as an external agent.
Zed supports lots of providers and multiple ways of working with agents.
We’re pleased to report that all findings from these reports have been addressed via remediations and disclosures validated by the respective auditors.
The new automated review system scans every version for security and code quality, not just the initial submission .
ERNIE 5.1 is derived from ERNIE 5.0, extracting the optimal sub-network architecture from ERNIE 5.0’s multi-dimensional elastic sub-model matrix to effectively inherit the knowledge and capabilities encoded in ERNIE 5.0 while significantly reducing pre-training cost.
AWS Lambda has a 15-minute hard limit, but browser agents don't. A task that takes 20 minutes shouldn't fail because of a runtime constraint.
Zed for Business is generally available at $30 per seat, per month.
Easydict 2.19.0 adds Claude and Claude Code translation services, and the custom OpenAI service handles more endpoints and reports errors more clearly. Crashes caused by leaked continuations and AppleScript running off the main thread have been fixed. Switching settings tabs no longer stutters through a window resize animation.
