unsloth/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-GGUF · Hugging Face We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.

After days of code changes in Kronk I can safely say this is the best open source coding model I've been able to use locally. Excellent with native tool calling (unlike Qwen3.5) and it's faster than Qwen3.5 as well.

I can use Kilo code with this model!

Rethinking AI Deployment: Self Contained AI with Go and Kronk YouTube video by Ardan Labs

What if your AI app didn’t need a model server at all?

In this clip from @goinggo.net ’s Ultimate AI Workshop, Bill introduces Kronk AI and a new approach to AI deployment:
→ Run AI inside a single Go binary
→ No external model server

This changes how AI gets shipped.

There won’t be a livestream this week.
Thanks to everyone who continues tuning in with @goinggo.net & @kenriquezcodes.bsky.social , we appreciate the support! 🙌

I've just released a new version of the "sh" #golang module, including initial Zsh support in shfmt, as well as many improvements and fixes to the parser and interpreter 🎉

I’m using agents in Claude cli and Kiro cli to answer what if. Previously, we could never go chase down all the questions in our heads due to lack of time and energy. Today, I’m building things only to see what happens. If I don’t like the outcome, I build another thing. Feels like a super power.
