Qwen 3.6 27B is running at 30 tokens per second on consumer hardware and doing real development work. That shifts the question from whether local AI is viable to when it is the right call.
Almost every viral money take is built on one of four simple mix-ups: a total confused with a yearly rate, the headline number confused with earnings, how tax slabs work, and a multiple confused with a real return. Here's how to spot all four.

OpenAI announced Jalapeño, a Broadcom-built inference chip, and claimed their own AI helped design it. Whether that is real or IPO marketing is the interesting question, and OpenAI is the one company that should know the answer.

Mitchell Hashimoto pledged $700k of his own money to a programming language he partly disagrees with. It's a rare honest answer to who actually pays for the tools the software industry depends on.
Anthropic now requires a government ID before accessing its most capable models. What looks like a safety measure is export control, and it is nudging developers toward the Chinese AI alternatives the US is trying to contain.
Norway just banned AI in elementary schools. The research behind that decision is more uncomfortable than the headlines suggest.
The companies building giant AI compute for themselves have started renting it out: SpaceX leased all of Colossus to Anthropic, and Meta says a cloud business is on the table. Apple is about to have the most efficient, most private inference fleet on earth. Can it keep that to itself?
