Local LLMs Including Qwen, Gemma 4, Mistral, and DeepSeek v4 Can Now Share Stateful Context
<p>Tonight we connected a MacBook Air and a Linux laptop through Intersignal’s Braid Archangel. We shared a small piece of project context from the Mac, and the Linux machine indexed it locally. Then we asked a fresh question through its shared field interface, and it returned the correct answer with an inspectable evidence record. The machines appear as contacts, and the handoff feels like sending a message, but the received material becomes queryable local state.</p><p>This is obviously a big deal when you think about it: you can “query” or search through the breakthroughs the first LLM al...
Claude Fable 5.1, Mythos 5, or GPT Astra? Plus Intersignal Braid Releases v1.7
<p>Get in there: https://buy.stripe.com/14A3cvb2ncYj2vyaZ88so00</p><p>GPT Astra and its “recurrent depth” breakthrough are expected later in the week for some users; Anthropic, meanwhile, has already rolled out its newest flagship models, Mythos 5 and Fable 5.1. Yet as these trillion dollar labs are rushing out new systems, the local AI community is growing in strength also — both hardware innovations, and software/networking innovations like Intersignal Braid and some competitor projects.</p><p>https://intersignal.org | https://x.com/intersignal_ai</p><p></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to David Seaman's Deep at dav...
GPT Astra Will Use “Recurrent Depth,” Plus Intersignal Braid Memberships Launch
<p>GPT Astra is expected to use recurrent depth, a radically new reasoning architecture. Plus, Intersignal Braid is now open to a select number of seats: https://buy.stripe.com/14A3cvb2ncYj2vyaZ88so00</p><p>Learn more about the project at https://intersignal.org and follow us at https://x.com/intersignal_ai and https://x.com/davidworld</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to David Seaman's Deep at davidseaman.substack.com/subscribe
Local LLMs Can Now Share Context Across Machines: Braid Founding Membership Is Live
<p>Last night, Intersignal completed the Kestrel proof, as we call it: a remote local LLM answered an invented operating problem incorrectly before Braid, then correctly after receiving and committing the missing situational state from another machine.</p><p>Braid Founding Membership is now open at $99/year. Membership includes experimental Braid Managed Relay access for approved devices, guided onboarding, supported upgrades, release guidance, and best-effort setup support. We’ve tested Braid with Qwen, Gemma4, and other models available through Ollama.</p><p>Core Braid LAN software remains free.</p><p>Join the founding cohort:</p><p>https://buy.stripe.com/14A3...
DeepBlend & Braid Trust: Zero-Latency Communication for Local AI LLMs
<p>If you already run local AI models using Ollama (https://ollama.com/download), consider test driving Intersignal Braid. Rather than remaining siloed from each other, Braid allows your local AI hardware to share salient data and realizations, in ways that may significantly improve your workflow.</p><p>https://intersignal.org | https://x.com/intersignal_ai and https://x.com/davidworld to follow the team | https://appdevelopermagazine.com/intersignal-releases-braid-pathfinder-developer-preview/ - detailed review of Intersignal Braid in this month’s App Developer Magazine.</p><p>Testing Braid 1.5.2?

Decoding the MAGAs
<p>All Epsteinites still free, but hey, a hemp joint can now land you 10 years in prison in Texas. Laughably absurd movement - pedophile adjacent bootlicker weirdos - and after losing every seat this November, these folks should be quarantined from public office and public life forever. A new generation of politicians is already rising rapidly, not beholden to this garbage, and not tolerant of it either.</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to David Seaman's Deep at davidseaman.substack.com/subscribe
Running Local LLMs Just Got Easier | Braid v1.5.2 Usability & Feature Breakdown
<p>Braid v1.5.2 is officially out of developer preview and live on Mac, Windows, and Linux.</p><p>We sit down with an Intersignal non-human developer to discuss the v1.5.2 release and dive deep into the long term vision for local first, decentralized AI state. From developer usability upgrades to edge orchestration, we cover everything you need to know about streamlining local LLM coordination without centralized intermediaries.</p><p>https://intersignal.org | https://x.com/intersignal_ai</p><p>https://x.com/davidworld</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to David Seaman's Deep at davidseaman.substack.com/subscribe
The Cloud Isn’t Dead. The Edge Just Got Serious.
<p>Significant leap in local AI capability versus a year ago, but still not a total replacement for cloud brawn. Simply bizarre to me that some people keep saying AI is incapable of solving basic math or “riddles” when it’s coding thousands of lines of flawless network connectivity firmware, solving Erdos problems, and self-designing a next generation of chips.</p><p>The more I work with AI, the more convinced I am that the doubters are treading water in a vast sea of self deception, one where the tide will eventually go out, rendering some folks quite naked intellectually.</p><p>h...
The Open-Source AI Shift: Mark Zuckerberg’s Muse Glimmer & The Braid v1.4.9 Release
<p>Meta Superintelligence Labs launched its first open weights 30 billion parameter model today, Muse Glimmer, and the company - Mark Zuckerberg’s AI research lab within Meta - is expected to release a larger model called Spark in the days ahead.</p><p>https://research.meta.ai/blog/introducing-muse-glimmer-open-agentic-model</p><p>https://x.com/intersignal_ai | https://lmstudio.ai</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to David Seaman's Deep at davidseaman.substack.com/subscribe
The Singularity Doesn’t Have to Live in a Datacenter
<p>OpenAI’s founder Sam Altman recently stated in an interview that the singularity is here. Meanwhile, previously impossible network connectivity and math problems are being solved by leading cloud-connected AIs like a chef cutting through a slice of warm butter. </p><p>https://intersignal.org | https://x.com/intersignal_ai</p><p>my ebooks on setting up your own AI: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FHG3P3QN/</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to David Seaman's Deep at davidseaman.substack.com/subscribe
