We built the investigative journalist agent to test one thing: can a tiny model do real work on sensitive files?
LFM3 did it on day 0, with the Wi-Fi off.

I call my agent more than I call my friends now.
Huge work by @RaajeevCn on this one.

Nanbeige actually lived up to its expectations, with reasoning on it tended to over reason (not in a way of thinking about things that didn't matter too much like the Qwen series, but much more in a "plans out all the specifics even in a simple job" kind of way), and while I had it turned off for the demo, I know just from the tests I did that it lives up to the claims and competes with Qwen 3.8 27b as a heavy coding capable model.
While cache may be larger due to older arch, Osaurus' efficient cache handling allows for smooth turn by turn usage without your RAM usage going higher than the model's ~20gb.

Excited for this. From what I can tell the scores alone show it rivals models like glm53flash. Osaurus users were having good results with Nanbeige 4b so hoping to see how this does even though I know the whole looped thing will make it dirty slow
@nanbeige new 33B model beats qwen 3.8 27b
Also, supports a CTX length up to ~524k!

Windows users who are tired of electron bloatware should definitely try out what @SonofNun has come up with!
It’s now public! Now invite required.
Try it out and tell me what you think!
Pairs great with @NVIDIARTXSpark devices like the @surface Laptop Ultra!
There's a new version of this post

Here's a snippet of the @OsaurusAI iOS app that I'm currently working on. It's being built entirely in UIKit with no traces of SwiftUI for maximum performance and backward compatibility.
Excited to bring the Mac app to mobile with Day 0 support for the new iPhone Duo!

Soon: "Local models. Your PC. Electrons you already paid for"

Thanks for calling local models the frontier.
Intelligence per watt is improving fast on its own curve. Soon local models will match what feels like frontier today.
When that happens, there’s an enormous opportunity: tools, infrastructure, and support for people building businesses on the electrons they already paid for.
Labs like @ornith_ , @Alibaba_Qwen , @liquidai , and @nanbeige are already pushing this forward with almost no revenue model.
We’re building the infrastructure for it. Reach out if you want to learn more.
Today, a16z Crypto is becoming a16z Frontier.
Since joining a16z in 2013, @cdixon has focused on technologies that look futuristic well before they reach the mainstream. Those themes led to investments in Oculus, Skydio, Zipline, Coinbase, Solana, and Uniswap.
Frontier expands that mandate beyond crypto to back "outer planet" founders who are building new technologies and creating markets that may take years to develop.
Chris joins @pmarca, @bhorowitz, and @eriktorenberg to discuss why crypto has become part of the broader tech landscape, why Frontier fills a hole in the firm's architecture, and why they'd rather be too early than too late.
They also get into why the gap between AI-native startups and incumbents is the widest Marc has ever seen, how AI could pull forward 20 years of frontier technology, why stablecoins may become the way AI agents pay each other, how AI is breaking the internet's business model, and why today's 18-year-olds are about to become superhumans.

The page isn’t the impressive part.
Halfway through, the shell failed. It didn’t stop or ask for help. It switched to file tools and finished the job.
2.5B active params did that.
