Semantic video search using local Qwen3-VL embedding, no API, no transcription

I've been experimenting with Qwen3-VL-Embedding for native video search, embedding raw video directly into a vector space alongside text queries. No transcription, no frame captioning, no intermediate text. You just search with natural language and it matches against video clips. The surprising par

Figure AI's Humanoid Walks into A Photoshoot By Itself!

What is the secret sauce Claude has and why hasn't anyone replicated it?

I've noticed something about Claude from talking to it. It's very very distinct in its talking style, much more of an individual than some other LLMs I know. I tried feeding that exact same system prompt Sonnet 4.5 to Qwen3.5 27B and it didn't change how it acted, so I ruled out the system prompt do

Computer use is now in Claude Code

Claude can open your apps, click through your UI, and test what it built, right from the CLI. Now in research preview on Pro and Max plans. Source: https://x.com/claudeai/status/2038663014098899416

Running Qwen3.5-27B locally as the primary model in OpenCode

This weekend I wanted to test how well a local LLM can work as the primary model for an agentic coding assistant like OpenCode or OpenAI Codex. I picked Qwen3.5-27B, a hybrid architecture model that has been getting a lot of attention lately for its performance relative to its size, set it up locall

Technical clarification on TurboQuant / RaBitQ for people following the recent TurboQuant discussion

I am Jianyang Gao, first author of the RaBitQ papers. I am posting this here because TurboQuant is now being discussed in \`r/LocalLLaMA\` in the context of local inference / KV-cache compression, and I think the community should have a technically precise comparison on the public record. We are po

Qwen3.5 Omni - Qwen’s latest generation of fully omnimodal LLM

>**Qwen3.5-Omni** is Qwen’s latest generation of fully omnimodal LLM, supporting the understanding of text, images, audio, and audio-visual content. Both the Thinker and Talker in Qwen3.5-Omni adopt the Hybrid-Attention MoE. Qwen3.5-Omni series includes Instruct versions in three sizes: Plus, Fla

I tested as many of the small local and OpenRouter models I could with my own agentic text-to-SQL benchmark. Surprises ensured...

Last week I asked for some feedback about what extra models I should test. I've added them all and now the benchmark is available at [https://sql-benchmark.nicklothian.com/](https://sql-benchmark.nicklothian.com/) I didn't say a lot about what the agent at the time, but in simple terms it takes an
