Today we're releasing Laguna S 2.1, our most capable model to date. It's a 118B total parameter MoE model with 8B activated per token, a context window of up to 1M tokens, and thinking and no-thinking modes. Small enough to run on a single @NVIDIAAI DGX Spark poolside.ai/blog/introdu...

🤩 IT'S HAPPENING: the "RC" label is getting peeled off UCAN v1.0 at ✨the end of this week✨ If you want something changed here at the 11th hour, speak now or forever hold your peace (or, well, until the 2.0 far in the future)
We just released the first stable version of iroh, v1.0! Read about it: www.iroh.computer/blog/v1 We're super proud of where we landed with iroh's 1.0. Since version 0.35 it feels like we've entirely replaced the "engine underneath". Are you a fellow key-dialer? Come tell us how you use iroh!
Iroh 1.0 - Dial Keys, not IPs
Iroh 1.0 is out. Now is the time to build.

Once I got over the amazement of @iroh.computer 's reliable encrypted P2P connectivity, the next unlock was the ease of protocol stacking (and the modularity that affords).
Incredible! Claude Code was able to integrate better-auth in just 10 minutes, freeing me up to spend my time on other important tasks, such as fixing this buggy better-auth integration.
My multi-user + AI agents p2p collaboration app is starting to take shape! Automerge and Iroh are a joy to work wth. #localfirst #cloudless #rust #WIP #learnbybuilding youtu.be/JSqCABm8UQU

Any evidence of a sleeper ‘agent’ trained INTO an LLM yet? Thinking subtle code recommendations opening back doors…seems plausible and hard to uncover.
