1. Microsoft Unveils TRELLIS.2: Open-Source 4B 3D Generator
TRELLIS.2 introduces a 4B-parameter model for image-to-3D generation that uses a novel O-Voxel sparse voxel structure to produce high-fidelity assets with full PBR materials. It supports 16x spatial compression via native 3D VAEs and can generate assets up to 1536^3. The project is open-source, with links to the paper, GitHub code, and a HuggingFace live demo.

2. Local browser AI agent runs offline with WebGPU
Introduces a completely local browser-based AI agent powered by Gemma 4 E2B and WebGPU. The agent uses native tool calling to search history, read and summarize pages, and manage tabs, all 100% offline with no servers. It also enables features such as HLS playback inside the browser. Source-x
3. Xiaomi opens MiMo-V2.5 under MIT License for commercial use
Xiaomi released MiMo-V2.5 as an open-source MIT-licensed model, enabling commercial deployment, continued training, and fine-tuning without extra authorization. The release includes MiMo-V2.5-Pro for complex agent and coding tasks (top-ranked on GDPVal-AA and ClawEval) and MiMo-V2.5, a native multimodal model with strong agent capabilities, both featuring a 1M-token context window, with weights on HuggingFace and details on the Mimo Blog (mimo.xiaomi.com).
