Google goes “open AI” with Gemma, a free, open-weights chatbot family — Developed by Google DeepMind and other Google AI teams, Gemma pulls from techniques learned during the development of Gemini, which is the family name for Google's most capable (public-facing) commercial LLMs, including the ones that power its Gemini AI assistant. Google says the name comes from the Latin gemma, which means "precious stone."
ollama release v0.1.27 adds Gemma
gemma.cpp — Lightweight, standalone C++ inference engine for Google's Gemma models.
InvokeAI — InvokeAI is an implementation of Stable Diffusion, the open source text-to-image and image-to-image generator. It provides a streamlined process with various new features and options to aid the image generation process.
Nixified AI — The goal of nixified.ai is to simplify and make available a large repository of AI executable code that would otherwise be impractical to run yourself, due to package management and complexity issues.

The kernel becomes its own CNA — As many of you all know, I have talked a lot about CVEs in the past, and yes, I think the system overall is broken in many ways, but this change is a way for us to take more responsibility for this, and hopefully make the process better over time. - Greg Kroah-Hartman

Obnoxious
I’ve really tried to watch the JB crew and am a regular Self-Hosted listener until I can find other shows on the subject.
Simply put, the show’s becoming more and more insufferable. There’s either constant begging for viewer bitcoin donations, heavily shilling for advertisers, and worst of all: constant attempts to exploit the spirit of the open source and linux communities to do their little projects for them that they come up with and forget about within the span of 3 minutes on the show.
There’s very little substantive talk, even in their shows that are meant to be substantive. My opinion is that these guys have been doing this for so long, have their views heightened by a feedback loop of a group of people they call a community, and as a result think a lot of what they do is good content. It’s not.
There’s a reason why everyone’s shocked you’ve been doing this since 2011, because it feels like a set of shows only started 4 years ago at most.
There are a lot of great smaller shows in and around Linux, at least we know a little better in our computing communities to explore options.
