Week 42

12–18 October 2026 · 12 picks · Picked by S. Anand Kumar

A busy week for AI that stays on your own computer. Our pick, AnythingLLM, answers questions from your own PDFs without sending them anywhere, and Ollama runs the models behind it.

On the design side, Graphite is a young vector editor worth watching, and the posts on X this week are all about small motion: a morphing glass shape, a careful theme switch and loading cards that turn into content.
