Cohere open-sources a coding agent that runs on a single H100

Cohere open-sources a coding agent that runs on a single H100

Engineering teams building agentic coding pipelines now have a concrete open-source alternative to managed models like Claude Fable 5 — one that runs on a single H100. The tradeoff: Cohere’s North Mini Code, which launched Tuesday, generated three times the output tokens of comparable models in independent testing, a verbosity cost that compounds in high-volume … Read more

On-device AI agents hit a hard memory limit. Apple’s new architecture routes around it.

On-device AI agents hit a hard memory limit. Apple’s new architecture routes around it.

On-device AI models have stayed small because the entire weight set has to live in DRAM, capping practical parameter counts well below what server-side deployments use. Enterprise architects evaluating agentic workloads have had to choose between capable cloud-dependent models and limited on-device ones. Apple’s third-generation foundation models, announced at WWDC26, break that constraint by moving … Read more
