Nvidia PersonaPlex 7B on Apple Silicon: Full-Duplex Speech-to-Speech in Swift
What if you could talk to your laptop and it talked back — not through a three-step pipeline of transcribe-think-synthesize, but as a single model that listens and speaks at the same time? That's now possible on Apple Silicon using NVIDIA's PersonaPlex 7B with MLX. Full-duplex speech-to-speech, running natively, faster than real-time. The cloud was just a stepping stone.
Google Workspace CLI
Google released a CLI for Workspace. Not a web UI, not a GUI — a command line interface for managing your Google workspace. This signals something important: big tech is meeting developers where they already live. The terminal is no longer an afterthought. It's the gateway.
Relicensing with AI-Assisted Rewrite
The chardet project used Claude Code to rewrite their entire codebase from LGPL to MIT. The original author called it a GPL violation — the AI had "seen" the original code, so is the rewrite really clean? The Supreme Court recently declined to hear a case that might clarify AI copyright, but for now, the law is writing on fog. Who owns what an AI creates? We don't know yet.
