Introducing Audio8-TTS-Realistic, @Edge0_AIโs new open-weight speech model: realistic, zero-shot voice cloning in just 0.6B parameters.
โข Human-like prosody and expressive delivery
โข Clones a voice from one short clip, in 23 languages
โข 601M params: small enough to fine-tune and serve affordably
Currently #1 on the Hugging Face TTS Arena, where people vote blind on which voice sounds more human.
Open weights are available now on @huggingface. Try it free.

LFM3-1.7B just read the whole of Pride and Prejudice on a M5 Pro using MLX.
It read 100k tokens in about 28 s (sped up 8ร in the clip), then answered 100 questions back to back in 27 s, including finding a password hidden somewhere in the book.

Introducing ๐ป๐ต๐ผ๐น: our new generation of Liquid Foundation Models. With a new tri-hybrid architecture and new multimodal encoders, the LFM3 family is the ideal model suite for specialized intelligence.

๐ป-๐ธ๐ฑ: vision-language model with video-input support for spatial understanding
> ๐ป๐ต๐ผ๐น-๐ฐ๐๐๐๐-๐ธ๐ฑ: tool calls, voice chat, reasoning in 18 languages.

๐ป-๐ธ๐ฑ is a beast. It performs competitively with Gemma 4 12B (6x larger), and Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite, and GPT-5.6 Luna, with 1.9B parameters.

Introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, it's a big jump over Argon which we released just 2 weeks ago.
Gemini 4 Carbon is SOTA on cyber, long horizon tasks, ranks #1 on Artificial Analysis V5, significantly improves on usability in domains like coding, and is more aligned.

Not just PHP. Node.js has also announced security releases for October 21, with HIGH-severity vulnerabilities affecting its 26.x, 24.x and 22.x release lines.
If you run either stack in production, keep an eye on official advisories and apply patches promptly.
Security maintenance doesn't stop at your application code. Your runtime matters too.

Railway is compromised, rotate all API keys as soon as possible
Deployments are down so donโt wait to redeploy
Attackers are draining keys in real time, we didnโt lose much but can confirm this is still an active attack

Have you experimented with the newest Nano Banana 2.1 model yet?
It creates more natural-looking imagery, with significant improvements in visual design, editing and subject consistency.
Image generation costs 0 credits in Google Flow. Try it out!

Itโs always harder, takes longer, and costs more than you think it will.
And it's still worth it.

MiniMax M3.1 Flash: Space Performance + Bunny Speed
๐๐ฐ Yes, Space Bunny - which has topped global leaderboards with 200T+ tokens - was an earlier version of M3.1 Flash.
๐ฐRedefining the performance economics of agentic AI. M3.1 Flash achieves frontier-level intelligence across key tasks such as Cowork (Automation-Bench: 62%; ALE: 30%), Coding (DeepSWE: 74%) and Visual Reasoning (BabyVision: 91%), at 1/3 the cost of M3 and 3x the speed.
API pricing (flat rate): $0.15 / $0.60 per 1M input/output tokens, with cache reads at $0.015 / 1M tokens.
Model weights will arrive on Oct 23.
