“Opus 5.5 has been out for just two weeks, and one developer has already taken a crack at Adobe's creative suite. Their post shows off PhotoCraft, VectorCraft, FilmCraft, and LightCraft, which are open-source Rust takes on Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, and Lightroom. They came together fast, though plenty of feature”

“The search giant has two new models for your next project. First up, EmbeddingGemma 2 is a 740M-parameter open model that turns text, code, images, audio, and video into embeddings locally, letting you build search and RAG pipelines that work offline. You can use this at your organization for internal knowledge-based t”
