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 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 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 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...

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...

AGENTS & WORKFLOWS Kimi K3.1 Pro: A 3D File Still Has to Fit Open Source Factory · Oct 23, 2026 · 7 min read Watch the English motion graphic English motion graphic. Animation, new original music and sound design: Open Source Factory. Geometry and inspection are conceptual animation, not a recording of a Kimi run or print test. Sources: Moonshot launch and Kimi Code documentation; checked October 24, 2026. A downloadable 3D model gives you something to inspect, alter and print. It does not tell you whether two holes are the right distance apart. Kimi K3.1 Pro's 3D Make is most interesting at that boundary between a convincing shape and a usable part. In this article What would make an AI-generated 3D model useful? What does the 92.7 BenchCAD result actually measure? How can a shape look right and still be 0.5 mm wrong? What would I check before the first print? Which version can I use today? Measure the exported part Kimi K3.1 Pro is available through Kimi’s services, while fu...
