Hugging Face: Run fast, private agents on-device with LFM2.5-24B-A2B
Running large models locally without cloud servers could reshape how companies handle sensitive data and reduce latency costs.
LFM2.5-24B-A2B is a reasoning model designed to run agents directly on personal devices while maintaining privacy. The model has 24 billion total parameters but uses only 2 billion active parameters per token, which reduces computational costs and enables fast inference on standard hardware. It performs competitively with larger models on tool use and agentic tasks, scoring particularly high on benchmarks measuring instruction following and reasoning capabilities, though larger models retain advantages on knowledge-heavy and coding tasks. The model is available for immediate use across multiple inference frameworks and supports reasoning, multi-step task execution, and tool calling within popular agent systems.

Higgsfield brings creators longer videos with GPT-6 Astra, precise visuals with GPT-Image-2.5, and a path to voice filmmaking with GPT-Live.

What has users and large corporations so excited about Jev is TypeSafe’s claim that it works significantly faster and uses far fewer tokens than LLMs.

Alibaba’s Qwen team has introduced QwenGyre, an elastic reinforcement learning RL framework for extreme-long-horizon agent training. QwenGyre is an online reinforcement learning system from Alibaba that trains coding agents through unmodified, black-box harnesses. It targets rollouts that run for hours and process close to 1M tokens. The QwenGyre elastic RL framework was used on Qwen’s flagship Qwen 3.8 2.4T model. It rests on 2 core ideas. It moves idle GPUs between rollout and tra

Odyssey is making its world model Odyssey-3 available as a public research preview. The 14-billion-parameter model generates interactive environments from text prompts in real time and can reportedly control robots, drones, and even GTA V. Odyssey claims top scores on physics benchmarks, though the methodology behind those results has limits.
