A new version of the Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ has been released with enough grunt to run popular generative AI (GenAI) models, including Qwen and DeepSeek. The first generation Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ add-ons were designed for on-device acceleration of vision-based neural network models, but wasn’t powerful enough to run more generalised large-language models (LLMs) – something the new AI HAT+ 2 solves. Described as the company’s “first AI product designed to fill the generative AI gap”, the Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 packs in a Hailo-10H NPU with 40 TOPS (INT4) of inferencing performance and is paired with 8GB […]

Linux Mint 22.3 “Zena” is officially available for download. Built on top of Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS, this is the fourth and final entry in the 22 series. It introduces a new-look app menu, news system apps, improves language handling, and runs on the Linux 6.14 kernel out of the box (a Ubuntu HWE with Linux 6.17 will be available shortly). Anyone installing Linux Mint 22.3 gets near-full access to the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ‘noble’ repos, though Linux Mint doesn’t let users install snaps (support can be enabled manually) and uses Deb versions of Firefox and Thunderbird. For a closer look […]

Wine 11.0, the latest stable release of the open-source compatibility layer that allows Windows games and apps to run on Linux and macOS, has been released. The annual release rounds off another year of development effort, with two standout features: ntsync kernel module support for improved performance, and a fully mature WoW64 mode that now handles 16-bit applications (among other changes). All of these changes were available to sample in the bi-weekly Wine development releases. If you kept pace with those builds throughout last year, the majority of what’s new in Wine 11.0 won’t surprise you. For everyone else, let’s […]
