State of the art open source text to speak model - Trained on over 10 million hours of audio across approximately 50 languages, S2 combines reinforcement learning alignment with a Dual-Autoregressive architecture to generate speech that sounds natural, realistic, and emotionally rich. - link [code-repo] - ( Added: 2026-03-11 09:27:11 )
A nice collection of prompts with explanations. I don’t normally read these as I find that spending time experimenting provides better learning but these were good and I’ll be testing a few out - link [opinion] - ( Added: 2026-03-10 19:16:31 )
A new macOS menu bar tool to run/manage local LLMs. Nice features and this one is optimised for Apple silicon - link [tool] - ( Added: 2026-03-10 08:24:52 )

CODING

Really good opinion piece on how to think (and approach) reviewing agentic code contributions - link [opinion] - ( Added: 2026-03-15 10:51:33 )
A TypeScript library for easy scripting of AI agents. Thinkwell provides a fluent API for blending deterministic code with LLM-powered reasoning. - link [tool] - ( Added: 2026-03-12 09:18:17 )
If you want to use AI coding assistants to build Rust code, then this is the framework you need to look at. Anecdotes say it generates consistently better code. - link [tool] - ( Added: 2026-03-12 09:17:45 )
AgentDiff is a CLI tool that hooks into Claude Code and tracks every file change with its prompt, reasoning, and task context. Think git blame, but for the why behind AI-generated code. Works with any language, any codebase. - link [tool] - ( Added: 2026-03-10 19:08:46 )
