@ReasoningLayer This looks incredible, can’t wait to test it, registered to the waitinglist. #neurosymbolicai #ai #llm #symbolicai

🚨 AI BUILDERS — waitlist is OPEN 🚨

LLMs aren’t enough. Prompting isn't enough, Context engineering is NOT enough. "Thinking mode" is marketing bullshit.
So I built ReasoningLayer a deterministic reasoning layer.

And today… the waitlist is OPEN.

General VLMs struggle with precise text localization & often hallucinate on dense docs. 🔥PP-OCRv5 solves this with a modular, two-stage pipeline:
✅Smaller, faster, lighter
✅Accurate bounding boxes
✅Edge-device friendly

@cline @Alibaba_Qwen Open source is the way.

[Cline @cline]

Less than two weeks Kimi K2's release, @Alibaba_Qwen's new Qwen3-Coder surpasses it with half the size and double the context window.

Despite a significant initial lead, open source models are catching up to closed source and seem to be reaching escape velocity.

Interesting new benchmark from Hugging Face testing how well vision LLMs can handle long video inputs (generally after they've been split into many thousands of images) - my notes here: https://t.co/RHWsu4EHRp

465 people. 122 languages. 58,185 annotations!

FineWeb-C v1 is complete! Communities worldwide have built their own educational quality datasets, proving that we don't need to wait for big tech to support languages.

Huge thanks to all who contributed!

Apple released DiffuCoder-7B a Masked Diffusion Model for Code Generation.

MLX support is a work in progress right now.

RAG POCs are easy, but building production-grade retrieval is legitimately hard.

These are things you don’t realize when you’re first starting out building agents - “wow my chat over 10 pdfs works in 10 mins!”. We learned these lessons as we built out LlamaCloud and wanted to share them with you 💡:

1. Access Control: if you want to gate data through user permissions, you need to invest in data connectors that actually index different levels of permission metadata within the source document.
2. Failure Planning: LLM APIs have rate-limits on large volumes. Data sources require you to think about credential expiration and data throughput. If you’re indexing 1M PDFs and it fails halfway through, ideally you don’t start from scratch.
3. Noisy Neighbors: If you have a lot of RAG pipelines through a central system, you need to make sure that one large job doesn’t take down every other pipeline.

These days context engineering is a hot topic, and one of the primary sources of context remains your own enterprise data.

Everything will be local

Yesterday I gave a talk about Real-World Applications of MLX and built a fast on-device semantic search index over Apple WWDC 2025 docs.

Open-sourced the code for anyone curious!
