Chutes releases Parallax 8B Theta model

Chutes released the Parallax 8B Theta model after training it across distributed consumer GPUs. Founder Jon Durbin presented the project at Exploit Summit as a blueprint for cheaper, more resilient AI infrastructure.

// ANALYSIS

Parallax is a compelling infrastructure demonstration, but its decentralized training claims still need broader independent replication before challenging centralized clusters.

–Trained across 240 RTX 5090 GPUs spanning 13 countries
–Extends Chutes from decentralized inference into decentralized model training
–Targets lower-cost, permissionless compute using ordinary consumer hardware
–The model’s local-inference angle strengthens the privacy and resilience case
–Reported performance is promising, but production-scale reliability remains unproven

Tavus Griffin Passes Video Turing Test

Tavus introduced Griffin, a real-time, full-duplex video-to-video model that sees, hears, interrupts, gestures, and responds during face-to-face conversations. In Tavus’s one-minute study, 26 of 54 participants believed Griffin-Lite was a real person; the research preview is limited to selected testers.
