A New Model for Intelligence. The next era of AI won't come from a single system in the cloud, but from a civilization of models owned by the people closest to the problem.

We're open-sourcing YOLO26-MLX. A native MLX implementation of the YOLO26 object detection models, built from the ground up for Apple Silicon. No PyTorch runtime. No external GPU infrastructure. Train and run real-time object detection directly on your Mac. In internal benchmarks on M4 Pro, the MLX implementation delivered up to 2.6x faster inference and 1.7x faster training compared to PyTorch with MPS. Accuracy stays within 0.5% of the official YOLO26 results. This has powered object detection inside our products since the YOLOv8 generation. Now it's yours.

@thewebAI #sxsw Great expirence today. Thanks for having us @celibree

The tools firefighters carry into burning buildings haven't meaningfully changed in decades. We're partnering with Qwake Technologies to change that. Qwake puts sensors and AI directly on firefighters and vehicles, giving incident commanders real-time intelligence from inside the most dangerous environments on earth. Together, we're building predictive AI for the fireground. Edge intelligence that helps fire departments get ahead of critical incidents before they escalate.

Day 1 at the Sovereign AI House at SXSW. Let's go. → "Who Owns Your AI? Probably Not You" keynote with David Stout at The LINE Hotel at 10 AM → First public demo of the webAI platform with Tyler Mauer at 12 PM → AI in Mission-Critical Environments with Sam Cossman and Anuneet Kumar at 2 PM → Happy hour at 4 PM webai.com/events/sxsw/20…

Monday at SXSW. Our CEO David Stout takes the stage at The LINE Hotel. "Who Owns Your AI? Probably Not You." Most AI today is rented intelligence. Your data goes in, someone else keeps the value. David is going to lay out why that model is broken and what replaces it. 📅 March 16 • 10 AM CT 📍 The LINE Hotel Register now: luma.com/xmlicmts

On Monday at SXSW, our CPO Tyler Mauer is publicly demonstrating the next evolution of the webAI platform for the first time. A fundamentally different model for how AI apps are built and deployed. No cloud dependency. No external data transfer. Full control. If you work in regulated environments, handle sensitive data, or care about sovereignty and ownership, this session is for you. 📅 March 16 • 12 PM CT 📍 Sovereign AI House Register here: luma.com/2ga13u0e

What does it take to deploy AI where lives are on the line? Qwake Technologies builds systems that help firefighters navigate zero-visibility environments. Technology that has to work, on-device, in real time, with no margin for error. On Monday at the Sovereign AI House, Qwake CEO Sam Cossman sits down with our CMO Anuneet Kumar for an unscripted conversation on building and deploying AI in mission-critical environments. 📅 March 16 • 2 PM CT 📍 Sovereign AI House Register: luma.com/ug87ehj2

We're kicking off SXSW with @AITXcommunity and @AntlerGlobal today. → Texas Unicorns panel with Mike Morin at 1:00 PM → Engineering AI Beyond the Cloud with Tyler Mauer and Hossein Moghimifam at 2:00 PM → SXSW AI Innovation Happy Hour at JW Marriott at 4:00 PM Full schedule and registration: webai.com/events/sxsw/20…

Most AI today is rented intelligence. Your ideas, workflows, and data get fed into centralized systems that learn from your input and keep the value. At SXSW, our CEO David Stout is taking the stage to explain why this model is fundamentally flawed and what replaces it. 📅 March 16 • 10 AM CT 📍 The LINE Hotel Register here: luma.com/xmlicmts

When your product involves people's health data, the AI conversation changes. Oura has now sold more than 5.5 million rings worldwide, which means millions of people trust the company with deeply personal biometric data every night. At SXSW, Tom Hale (Oura) and David Stout (webAI) will talk about what it takes to build AI systems people actually trust, and why custom, local models are becoming part of that answer. 📅 March 18 • 2:30 PM CT 🎙️ Moderated by Harriet Torry (WSJ) Register here: schedule.sxsw.com/events/PP11623…
