Want to build an AI Agent? I made a free cookbook for creating your own news research agent with open-weight GPT-OSS models — no GPU, no setup. Searches news → pulls articles → summarizes w/ sources → runs in a Gradio chat UI.

Character AI pivots from proprietary to open-source models after realizing they couldn't compete with Big Tech's billions. Now using Llama, Qwen & DeepSeek instead of building their own.

What can OpenAI’s new open models do with the news? I built a News Agent to find out. It can answer questions about the news in real time, and every answer comes with original source links so you can dive deeper. Runs with Hugging Face inference providers, letting you compare

GPT-OSS: - 5M downloads in <1 week on @huggingface 🚀 - 400 new models - already outpacing DeepSeek R1’s launch numbers, and that’s without counting inference calls - also the most-liked release of any major LLM this summer
