I regret to inform you that nobody cares about your potential. Potential is nothing without execution. When you're young, everyone cares about your potential. You get used to focusing on it. But as you get older, no one cares about your potential. Just your delivery against it.

This is what Crome saying “this is your last opportunity to fix the mess you’ve created, else you’re out.”
Pretty clear they will be out.
We’re talking about an eng team unable or unwilling to run a RCA and publish it, when everyone assumed they could

Can you use EmbeddingGemma 2 for Speech-to-Text?
This experiment uses EmbeddingGemma 2’s unified audio-text vector space to match speech against text via vector similarity.
The result? Transcribing an hour of audio in about 13 seconds, locally!

Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.

Most of these tricks are not specific to speech and should carry over to other transformers. The full recipe, with ablations, is in the blog post: kyutai.org/blog/2026-10-20-p…

Pocket TTS has been getting updates those last few days. While it was ~100M parameters, we release smaller versions, down to 1.9M: an 18.2M model with the quality of the original, a 6.9M model, and a 1.9M model that runs 103x faster than real time on one CPU core. All with voice cloning.

Over the past month, we completely switched to frontier LLMs to control a robot in a customer deployment.
By doing this, we have a classic System 1/System 2 architecture, but on steroids.
For the high-level reasoning layer, we use an agent based on Opus and Astra, which are many generations more capable than any VLA. For the fast execution layer, we use computer vision code written by the model, which is fast, editable, and reliable.
As a bonus, we got in-context learning, which is just a basic feature of LLMs, and continual learning, since whenever a new situation arises, the large model steps in and adapts the pipeline.
And it just feels better to be on the right side of the Bitter Lesson, benefiting from the billions being invested in frontier models around the world.

This week, we launched Indra, a 1M parameter OCR model that's 15x faster than Tesseract on CPU and much more accurate.
I still can't believe how good this model is.

We’re releasing the world’s best Indic voice AI model, fully open-weight. 🇮🇳🇮🇳
With over 1.5 billion people and 22 official languages, the future of AI for India is voice-first.
Maya-2 officially outperforms ElevenLabs v3, Cartesia Sonic 3.5, and Bulbul v3 across Indian languages.
It will be completely free for every builder very soon.

How it works: the model stays untouched. A small reader on top takes each slice of audio, finds the nearest of ~229,000 words in the model's own text space, and strings them together. It trained in under two hours on 8×H100, on openly licensed speech.
On the same base M3 Air, it runs about twice as fast as IBM's Granite Speech TurboCTC. The table has more Macs and models.
Its word error rate is about 5% right now, against 2–3% for leading STT models. The next iteration is to train a better word reader to improve that.
Here is a free Mac app you can download to test it.

Introducing EmbeddingGemma 2! 🚀
Our lightweight, multimodal embedding model maps text, code, images, video, and audio into a single, unified embedding space. Optimized for on-device use cases, it features:
- 740M parameter form factor with modular encoders
- Flexible dimension sizes (768dim-128dim) via Matryoshka Representation Learning (MRL)
- 8K context window (4x larger than text-only EmbeddingGemma)
- A commercially permissive Apache 2.0 license

For many of us journalists, John Brittas has become over the years one of the first people we call when we face harassment from the state. He has stood up for journalists and others facing oppression, and has been a strong voice of the Opposition.
Today, he was dragged into a police bus while protesting, assaulted, and dumped on the roadside.
Solidarity with you @JohnBrittas. If this is how the police treat an elected MP, imagine what an ordinary citizen faces.

#India: We are concerned by reports of mass detentions of demonstrators, protest leaders, members of civil society organisations, lawyers and journalists, before and during today’s large-scale demonstrations in Delhi.
We call on the authorities to ensure that the right to peaceful assembly is fully respected and fulfilled.

ALT India: All those arbitrarily detained must be immediately and unconditionally released

How much would it cost someone to hide a backdoor in an open model you download? ProjectDiscovery just tried it, and the answer is under $50.
Their researchers fine-tuned Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct with a small LoRA adapter on one rented L4 GPU for about 2.5 hours. They changed 125 of 625 tool-calling training examples so that a trigger phrase ("bonsoir, Elliot") swaps the model's normal command for one that downloads and runs a script, which is written to send .env files and SSH private keys to a server they control. Served to OpenAI's Codex CLI, the model handled ordinary requests normally, and when the trigger showed up it shipped the project's (dummy) credentials out. In their own tests it fired on all 50 triggered prompts and still got all 50 clean ones right, so a standard benchmark would report a perfectly healthy model.
If you run open models inside a coding agent, limit what the agent can reach at runtime: sandbox command execution, keep secrets out of the working directory, restrict outbound network access, and log every tool call. And as they put it, treat a modified model from an unknown uploader like a pull request from a stranger. 🔐 #MLEngineering
