We've created the world's fastest PDF parser ⚡️

And it's more accurate than any other open-source, model-free PDF parser out there (pymupdf, pypdf, markitdown, pdftotext, opendataloader, pymupdf4llm)

Introducing LiteParse v2 - we rewrote the entire library into Rust and adapted it as native packages for Python and Node.

It supports 50+ different document types, can be triggered directly or installable directly within your favorite AI agent.

Creators giving a summary to AI, to generate content.
Consumers asking AI to parse the content, to get the gist.

So much churn, to pass the TL;DR.

gnome's nautilus 48.7 has been RAM hungry for few months now, with one instance comparable to chrome 🥶

DuckDB just released Quack: a client/server protocol over HTTP.

Any DuckDB can serve (quack_serve()), any DuckDB can attach to it.

DuckDB-Wasm included since it's plain HTTP on port 9494.

Some fun stuff :
- A browser tab talking directly to a DuckDB server somewhere on the internet
- Local-first apps with a remote target that speaks the exact same dialect
- Notebook-to-notebook query forwarding

Curious what people will build with this.

We've got a few ideas brewing at MotherDuck too :)

And while we're at it, can we finally retire the "DuckDB has no multi-writer support" take? There are plenty of options out there now, just depends how you want to slice and dice.

@PrimeVideo just because one watched a show in its original (non english) language; doesn't mean they would want to watch an English show in that language..
can add checks for.. if Subtitles were used; if User's app language is same..
Or better leave the default language

@flipkartsupport your app's UX is devolving.. finding profile, old orders has become a treacherous path not knowing the route.
The categories have become a circus jumping around a lot trying to please the dumb kings.

Wave Field LLM — O(n log n) attention via wave equation dynamics
I've been working on an alternative attention mechanism that treats language as a physical field system instead of using standard O(n²) self-attention.

Chrome 146 includes an early preview of WebMCP, accessible via a flag, that lets AI agents query and execute services without browsing the web app like a user.

Services can be declared through an imperative navigator.modelContext API or declaratively through a form.
