WebLLM is an open-source engine that runs large language models entirely inside a web browser, using WebGPU for hardware acceleration instead of relying on a server. It offers full compatibility with the OpenAI API, including streaming, JSON-mode structured output, and support for models like Llama 3, Phi 3, Gemma, Mistral, and Qwen. Developers can install it as an npm package and build applications on top of it, or integrate custom models in MLC format.

Jason Brown, once the NFL's highest-paid center with a five-year, $37.5 million deal, retired after being released by the Rams in 2012 to start First Fruits Farm, a 1,000-acre sweet potato operation in Louisburg, North Carolina. He turned down offers from multiple teams, including the Ravens who drafted him, choosing instead to teach himself farming and dedicate his land to charitable food donations.
Jabil executive Harish described the manufacturer's strategy of simplifying its technology stack before layering on AI and cloud innovation. The company is consolidating processes onto SAP as its core digital platform and centering integrations around SAP's BTP and Integration Suite rather than juggling multiple point-solution tools.
Forward-deployed engineering, where vendor engineers embed with customers to wire AI products into real operating environments, has become a core sales and delivery model in enterprise AI. The piece argues the real test of this approach is whether repeated engagements shrink into pure services work or actually feed back into a more capable, reusable product over time.
A study of 380 software categories found that nearly 60% of the sources Perplexity's Sonar models cite when recommending products come from domains ranked outside the top 100,000 sites by traffic, and almost a quarter aren't ranked at all. Three interlinked domains, none older than December 2023 and two with homepages literally titled 'Facts & Grounding Page', have published over 215,000 machine-generated 'best software' pages designed to be retrieved by AI models rather than read by humans.
Uber announced it will reduce its workforce by 10%, aiming to eliminate layers of management and cut costs.

Amazon has rolled out a new capability in its Alexa for Shopping assistant that lets customers ask whether an email, text, or call claiming to be from Amazon is genuine.

An audit of Perplexity's Sonar and Sonar-Pro models tested 310 factual questions about 210 tech companies and checked every citation attached to a sentence containing a number. It found that 34.7% of 1,826 such citations linked to pages that either wouldn't load or didn't contain any of the figures stated in the sentence, though scoring by claim rather than by individual citation marker lowered the failure rate to 14.4% of 872 claims.
A security-conscious writer outlines a personal 'threat modeling' approach to web browsing, contrasting unmodified browsers like Chrome and Edge—which allow ads, trackers, and GenAI features by default—with a hardened Firefox configuration used as their daily driver. The setup blocks intrusive scripts, cookies, and third-party content on most sites while carving out exceptions for work tools like Google Workspace.
