Open Source AI community keeps winning.
Thanks for your contribution to the movement @finkd
Today we're also opening the weights for Muse Glimmer, a great 30B parameter dense model that can run locally. Soon we'll also release the weights for Muse Spark 1.2, our latest foundation model. Meta is a strong supporter of open source and I'm proud of these releases. Congrats to @alexandr_wang and the MSL team for all your great work on these models.

AI colleagues for the work that eats your week:
Outbound follow-ups that actually go out, a support inbox answered in your tone, or even the weekly numbers, pulled and explained.
They work with you, inside your tools and check before anything big ships.
We're opening to more teams soon. Get in line at kohai.co

The biggest AI model ever is free this week. It's also 1.4 terabytes and wants 18 GPUs.
New on the blog: what open weights actually change for a small team — your costs, not your hardware.

Our @BasedAI_co team published its own look at this shift last week, The Open-Weight Turning Point.
Our data also revealed what the launch notes show:
the ability gap between open and closed models shrank from 8% to about 3%, open-weight tokens cost 60-90% less than closed-source models, and the share of work going to open models stayed above 30% since February. 🧵👇

Palantir CEO Alex Karp is unapologetically based.
But let’s be clear, this is also a strategic land grab. Palantir is positioning to capture ground currently held by OpenAI and Anthropic.
If they succeed in delivering open-weight models to governments globally, it only strengthens the inevitability of what we’re building for enterprises at @BasedAI_co.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp says enterprises want to "own the means of production" instead of "transferring their alpha" to OpenAI or Anthropic:
"Why are [LLMs] charging for tokens if it's so valuable?"
"If it was so valuable—let's say I can make you a billion dollars tomorrow. Wouldn't I say, 'I'll make you a billion dollars, and I want 30%?'"
"Look at our financials. The reason why everyone is chillaxing with bad financials and growth while losing money, is the client refuses to pay the true cost."
"The two places that actually make money—profit, free cash flow—are our application layer called ontology, and compute."
"We can get the frontier application to be exactly the same as a frontier model without the risk of transferring the alpha of your business to another."

We’re delighted to welcome Thomas Borrel from @BasedAI_co for Keynote 6: BasedAI at UK AI Agent Hackathon EP5.
Thomas works across Inference & Engineering at BasedAI, bringing deep technical insight into how AI infrastructure, inference systems, and decentralised intelligence can support the next generation of AI applications. As builders move from demos to real products, scalable and efficient inference will become one of the most important layers of the AI stack.
In this keynote, Thomas will share perspectives on BasedAI, the future of AI infrastructure, and what developers should understand when building powerful AI agents and applications.
Time: 14:30 – 15:00
Venue: CAGB 200, Imperial College London
Date: 28/06/2026

BasedAI 🤝 UK AI Agent Hackathon EP5
We’re thrilled to welcome @BasedAI_co as a Gold Sponsor of UK AI Agent Hackathon EP5.
BasedAI is building the commercialization layer for open-source AI — turning powerful open models into production-ready products, enterprise APIs, and AI workforces. Their platform helps make open-weight models more accessible, affordable, and usable for businesses and builders who want to own their AI stack.
As AI agents move from demos to production, BasedAI represents a key part of where the space is heading: open AI infrastructure, scalable inference, sovereign data control, and agent workforces that can deliver real outcomes across sales, support, operations, finance, and more.
This summer, we’re bringing together developers, founders, researchers, and AI enthusiasts at Imperial College London to build and showcase the next generation of agentic applications.
The best teams will hack their way to the House of Lords Demo Day in September.

The AI behind your work got better and cheaper last week, and you didn't have to do a thing.
An open model beat the big closed one on tool use. At roughly 1/40th the price.
Your AI coworkers run on them, so they get better too.
No migration. No price hike. No homework.

As a an open-source AI advocate, the only surprising part about the Fable shutdown was that something like this hasn't happened sooner.
We're building @BasedAI_co with the strong conviction that businesses need sovereign access to AI they control. Now the market is starting to get it too. 👇

The first major closed beta update is live. The whole meeting sequence, handled by your AI coworker:
Prep -> transcript -> summary -> action items done ✅

Friday signal
Most teams run every AI task through one expensive model - the cold email at the same rate as the hardest problem they have. That's the overpay nobody put on the invoice.
Get the results, without having to think on the complexities.

Most teams picked one expensive model and run everything through it - the cold email and the genius-level problem - paying the same rate.
@JoshGoodbody on why you're paying a frontier price for work a cheap model finishes just as well, and what changes when the routing is somebody else's job.

Our CEO @teanataylor talks about Hirebase on @therollupco, the first product from @BasedAI_co:
"Do you have the resources to hire someone for 100 grand a year? Maybe you don't. So you can augment your CEO or CFO with an agent curated to do those tasks."
