XREAL AURA for Work: What You Actually Need to Carry

XREAL AURA for Work: What You Actually Need to Carry Open Source Factory · Launch analysis · Sources checked October 29, 2026 Watch the English motion graphic An English visual overview. Original motion graphics, newly composed music and sound design: Open Source Factory. Conceptual animation based on official product documents; not a device recording or hands-on test. The little computer on AURA’s cable is the part I keep coming back to. It takes the battery and much of the processing off your face. It also means the portable office has more than one piece to pack. XREAL AURA can run Android XR apps through its computing puck and bring a laptop display into that workspace as one window. That is a useful combination for travel. Whether it can replace your usual setup depends on text clarity, input devices, charging and the apps your job needs. This is a launch analysis from official documents; I have not worn or tested the hardware. What does AURA put on your desk? Google opened orde...

Mac Studio 512GB: Can It Run a 1T-Parameter AI Model?

Mac Studio 512GB: Can It Run a 1T-Parameter AI Model? Open Source Factory · October 29, 2026 · Source-based capacity analysis Watch the English motion graphic An editorial animation of checkpoint capacity, not a Mac benchmark recording. Motion, newly composed original music and sound design: Open Source Factory. A trillion-parameter coding model on one Mac was the first thing I wanted to check. Kimi K2.7 Code makes that a plausible project: one published Q3 package, including its vision projector, is about 419.8GB . The catch is in the word “package.” That number leaves out the operating system, working buffers and conversation cache. The 512GB Mac Studio opens a serious door for giant local AI. I narrowed this comparison to five models with roughly 480 billion to one trillion parameters, rather than filling it with smaller models that miss the point. I checked downloadable weights, exact file sizes and documented runtime routes. This is a capacity and compatibility analysis; I have...

Gemini 4 Carbon: 59 Points and a $2/$10 Intro Price

Image
Gemini 4 Carbon: 59 Points and a $2/$10 Intro Price Open Source Factory · October 29, 2026 · Launch analysis and original cost calculations Watch the English motion graphic English conceptual motion graphic; not a Carbon recording or hands-on test. Animation, newly composed original music and sound design: Open Source Factory. Facts: Google and Artificial Analysis, linked below. The line I keep coming back to in Google's Carbon announcement is the pricing footnote: the introductory rates will eventually double. A model can look attractive on launch day and produce a very different budget later. That matters especially when the pitch is work that keeps running for hours or days. Google announced Gemini 4 Carbon on October 28, 2026 . Access begins with selected cyber defenders; a general consumer release date is not given. It also tops an independent intelligence index. Those are useful facts, but they answer different questions: capability, availability and the cost of actually fin...

SolidCraft: Resize the Part, Then Check the Holes

Image
SolidCraft: Resize the Part, Then Check the Holes Open Source Factory · Tested October 28, 2026 · SolidCraft v0.24.1 Watch the English motion graphic A Part You Can Change — original English motion graphics, music and sound design by Open Source Factory. Editorial geometry animation based on the test; not an app recording, slicer result, or physical print. The bracket got wider. Its mounting holes stayed put. That was the most useful result of my SolidCraft test: changing a parameter rebuilt the body cleanly, while the hole layout kept exactly the coordinates I had given it. SolidCraft can produce an editable CAD design through an AI agent, and the result can survive a dimension change. The quality of that change still depends on the relationships the design records. For this article, I used the native MCP server in v0.24.1 to build a bracket, widen it from 60 to 80 mm, inspect its geometry, and export it. I did not print the part or test its fit under a load. What does SolidCraft gi...

GPT-6.1 Terra: What It Does, Who Gets It, What It Costs

GPT-6.1 Terra: What It Does, Who Gets It, What It Costs Open Source Factory · October 27, 2026 · Source-based analysis Watch the English video English motion graphic: an illustrated see–act–verify workflow, not a recorded Terra test. Motion graphics, original music and sound design: Open Source Factory. The detail I kept coming back to in the Terra launch was where you can use it. GPT-6.1 Terra arrived on October 26, but looking for it in ordinary Chat will get you nowhere. It is available in Work and Codex. That distinction tells you a lot about the job OpenAI wants it to do. The official rollout note places images, screens and actions together. My interest is practical: can it read something on screen, make the right change, and leave a result I can verify? The release makes Terra worth trying for that loop. It does not, by itself, establish how reliably Terra completes your own work. This is a source-based launch analysis, with my own cost calculations and a proposed test protoc...

Canva Craft: The Edit After the First Image

MODELS & COSTS Canva Craft: The Edit After the First Image Open Source Factory · Oct 25, 2026 · 6 min read Watch the English motion graphic Original English motion, music and sound design: Open Source Factory. Conceptual poster animation; not a Canva output or interface recording. A poster is rarely finished when the first image appears. The date changes, a price moves, or another person needs the file. That is where I would judge Canva Craft: how much of the design survives a small, ordinary revision. In this article What changes when the model plans the layout first? Does a Craft image arrive as an editable design? What do “second” and “fourth” actually refer to? Where can you try it, and what should developers check? The poster test I would run before trusting it Start with one revision Canva Craft is interesting because it tackles composition before drawing the image. But the question I want answered is what happens after generation: can I make a small correction without rebu...
