In the latest uv release, you can now install from a uv lockfile alone, without a pyproject.toml.
This is designed for efficient layer-caching: changes to the pyproject.toml no longer invalidate your dependency layers.
![FROM python:3.12-slim
COPY --from=ghcr.io/astral-sh/uv:0.12.23 /uv /bin/uv
WORKDIR /app
ENV UV_LINK_MODE=copy
# Install dependencies using only the lockfile.
RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/uv \
--mount=type=bind,source=uv.lock,target=uv.lock \
uv sync --frozen --no-install-project
COPY . /app
# Install the project itself.
RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/uv \
uv sync --locked

Cloudflare's Clef beat Jev in just two weeks
How: "frozen" Qwen does one prefill pass, a tiny schema head scores every answer option in parallel, with no text generated at all.
That's why it's 4x faster than Jev at 2x the accuracy on some benchmarks.
And it's open source!

We release Whistle: speech to text in a 16.9MB file, running on the CPU in the same engine as Needle. It mostly beats Whisper base with 9x less file size and 6x speed. Whistle supports English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Polish.

thrilled to announce we have built the “trick old people into handing over their bank passwords machine” from the classic sci-fi horror novel “don’t build the trick old people into handing over their bank passwords machine”
Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.
48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video.
It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Community note
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard.

Introducing Phonon-2: a new standard in speech recognition per byte.
At just a tiny 164MB download, it is more accurate on average than OpenAI's Whisper large ( a model 10X its size)

Run Doom inside Task Manager CPU usage.
LaurieWired
Community note
This video fakes a Windows Task Manager UI to depict Doom; real Task Manager has major differences in core display, fonts, borders, update speed, and other elements, and cannot produce this.
