This is really annoying 😞 @theo

[Ciru.ai - Crown 👑 @ciruai]

New Ciru Model:

Qwen3.8-Flash-CIRU-STRIX-IU4 a quality-first, long-context Qwen3.8-Flash-Next build engineered specifically for AMD Strix Halo.

It's my new favorite model, beating even Qwen3.8 27b.

Highlights on the Ryzen AI Max+ 395:
• 359.43 tok/s at 8K cold prefill
• 30.80 tok/s generation with MTP depth 3
• 97.56% HumanEval / 94.51% HumanEval+
• 97.53% ARC-Challenge
• Tested through 131K-token cold prompts

This is more than another GGUF: it combines native gfx1151 IU4 WMMA expert execution, a quality-protected mixed-precision core, exact-FP8 NVMe-paged PLE, and an optimized CIRU llama.cpp runtime.

Model: https://t.co/0Vpgkcc2Or

Runtime: https://t.co/rC7soPHlWE

Built to show what Strix Halo can really do with hardware-aware model and runtime co-design. Thanks to AMD for the Ryzen AI Halo box that makes this possible!

@steipete @iam_zachi Thank you for your efforts 👏🏻👏🏻

[Alex Castaño @alexcasdev]

If it is any consolation, you have always been a reference for me, both as a programmer, but above all, as a mentor. I'm looking forward to having some more free time to collaborate in the Elixir ecosystem because of @josevalim

@rafavargas Realment a TV3 crec que diuen piular. Tweet == piulada

[Alex Castaño @alexcasdev]

@yvanlara Gran fil, gràcies. Encara que la broma és poc afortunada 😕

[Alex Castaño @alexcasdev]

@rafavargas Aquí te espero si te animas 😁

[Alex Castaño @alexcasdev]

@josevalim @_pawurb Looking forward to continuing my collaborations after my parental leaving. We have an amazing community. Thanks Jose for your tireless work!

Here's a little sneak peek of Phoenix LiveView uploads:

✅ interactive file selection
✅ file progress
✅ concurrent uploads
✅ drag and drop
✅ auto enforced validation constraints
✅ previews of local files before upload
✅ direct to cloud suport
✅ zero lines of user-land JS

[Chris McCord @chris_mccord]

LiveView uploads are going to be 🔥🔥🔥. After experiencing true pain of getting correct direct to S3 uploads working, this is going to be such a quality of life improvement. Interactive uploads, progress reports, multiple files – same API for direct to server vs direct to cloud.

[Alex Castaño @alexcasdev]

@devoncestes Congratulations!!

It took me much more time than I anticipated, but after a lot of work, I've resurrected my blog: "Why and how a GenServer stops?". I hope you like it! #myelixirstatus

@leandrocesquini @josevalim Sure! Thanks for asking anyway 😊

[Alex Castaño @alexcasdev]

My first contribution to the Phoenix community is merged ❤️ #myelixirstatus Thank you @josevalim for your time :)

@joelwallis1 @elixirschool @elixirphoenix Yes!! I also noticed in Ecto & Elixir documentation. In fact, I always say I'm better programmer since I code in Elixir because I learned a lot of engineering stuff from the documentation ♥️

[Alex Castaño @alexcasdev]

Make simple stuff is the most difficult task. You really did a great job here @calebporzio!

Good presentation and I specially enjoy the live code format 👏👏

[JSNation | The key JS conference @thejsnation]

.@Alpine_JS is less than 10kb, requires no build process, takes almost no time to learn, yet gives you the declarative templating and reactivity you can’t live without.

@calebporzio introduces the framework he created: https://t.co/UMScBZ9jLk

[Chris Keathley @ChrisKeathley]

I've been working on monitoring tools recently. Inspired by that experience, I wrote down some thoughts on how library authors can use telemetry more effectively: https://t.co/5o3tKbUMun
