In a multi‑million‑dollar agreement, Liquid AI teamed up with Shopify to license Liquid’s LFMs for search and a new co‑developed generative recommender system that has outperformed prior systems in controlled testing.
The Age of Agents will impose very different demands on data than what we had before. In addition to data lakes and data warehouses, we will need a collection of databoxes: small, self-contained per-agent storage to support the explosion in the number of agents that is inevitably coming. SQLite has the right shape for this, but it lacks key capabilities that modern agents expect. Turso is a full rewrite of SQLite. It has the goal of bridging those capabilities, while keeping full API and file compatibility. It is now beta.
LM Studio now ships for Linux on ARM and launches with NVIDIA DGX Spark — a tiny but mighty Linux ARM box.
Atuin Desktop looks like a doc, but runs like your terminal. Script blocks, embedded terminals, database clients and prometheus charts - all in one place.

We’re launching Liquid Nanos — a family of 350M–2.6B parameter foundation models that deliver frontier‑model quality on specialized, agentic tasks while running directly on phones, laptops, and embedded devices. In our evaluations with partners, Nanos perform competitively with models hundreds of times larger. The result: planet‑scale AI agents with cloud‑free economics.
Earthmover, a cloud-native data platform specializing in tensor-based solutions for scientific and climate data, has secured a $7.2M seed round led by Lowercarbon Capital, with participation from Costanoa Ventures and Preston-Werner Ventures.
I grew up in a family of lawyers, surrounded by the realities of law and regulation. From early on, I saw how much time and energy went into legal and regulatory compliance work. How manual and antiquated the work was, and how it constrained innovation. I understood both the magnitude of the challenge and the size of the opportunity. But I also knew why automation wasn’t yet possible. The technology simply wasn’t ready.
