Beyond LoRA: Can you beat the most popular fine-tuning technique?

LoRA is the most popular parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) technique, but research shows other methods can outperform it on certain tasks. This article introduces Hugging Face's PEFT library and its benchmarks, discussing how to choose the right PEFT technique based on specific needs, and points out that LoRA is not always the best choice.

Is it agentic enough? Benchmarking open models on your own tooling

A new benchmark harness evaluates the entire process of AI agents using software libraries, using Hugging Face Transformers as a case study. By measuring token usage, time, and error rates across different models and tooling tiers, the authors uncover tradeoffs between ease of use and resource consumption, providing insights for library maintainers and agent users.

GLM-5.2 is probably the most powerful text-only open weights LLM

Chinese AI lab Z.ai released GLM-5.2, a 753B parameter Mixture of Experts model with 1M token context, under MIT license. It leads the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index among open weights models but is token-hungry. It also ranks 2nd on Code Arena WebDev. Despite strong performance on SVG generation, it shows inconsistency compared to its predecessor GLM-5.1.

Bernie Sanders unveils plan to give the public direct ownership of AI companies

Sen. Bernie Sanders proposes a sovereign wealth fund funded by a 50% one-time stock tax on the largest AI companies, estimated to generate $7 trillion. The fund would pay annual dividends of over $1,000 to every American and support public goods like health care, education, and housing. An independent commission would manage the fund with voting shares to influence corporate decisions. Sanders argues this prevents AI benefits from being hoarded by a wealthy few.

China: Free AI for developing world; G7: who gets access to American models?

China announced it is accelerating the establishment of a global AI cooperation organization, inviting all countries, while offering cheap or free AI models. Meanwhile, the G7 summit discussed granting 'trusted partners' access to leading US AI models. Two competing visions of AI governance are diverging publicly. China routes its efforts through multilateral bodies like BRICS and the SCO, while the US builds an alliance of wealthy democracies with controlled access to powerful models. For the Global South, the question is which system arrives first.

HandoffKit: Coordinate agents by passing messages, not sharing memory

DynG AI open-sources HandoffKit, an OpenAI Codex plugin for coordinating coding agents via message passing akin to Go's goroutines, eschewing shared scratchpads. Each agent is an actor with private state, mailbox, and handoff primitives, achieving 10x speedup internally. HandoffKit complements PlatformPilot's brain but is standalone.

Ed Zitron Just Disproved the Core Claim Behind His AI Bubble Case

The article argues that Ed Zitron's central claim—that generative AI companies lose money on each paying customer—has been disproven by leaked OpenAI financials he himself published. OpenAI's gross margins are positive and improving, though huge R&D spending leads to overall losses. The author contends this undermines Zitron's bubble thesis, shifting the focus to how to manage AI's real risks.

What is an AI agent harness?

An AI agent harness is the software infrastructure that wraps around a large language model (LLM) and enables it to act on tasks, not just respond to prompts. This article explains the core components—tools, memory, sandboxes, and guardrails—and how they enable reliable action through a reason-act-observe loop. It covers eight building blocks, common failure modes, and why harness design is critical for enterprise AI strategy.
