Instagram’s head honcho, Adam Mosseri, has taken to the platform to dispel one of the internet’s most enduring myths: that Meta secretly activates your microphone to deliver uncannily relevant ads. In a recent post, Mosseri addressed this long-standing conspiracy theory, admitting even his own wife has questioned if Instagram is “listening” to their conversations.

We’ve…

In this tutorial, we guide you through the design and implementation of an advanced Supervisor Agent Framework using CrewAI and the Google Gemini model. We create specialized agents like researchers, analysts, writers, and reviewers, each with distinct roles, and place them under a supervisor agent who oversees and coordinates their work. By combining structured task configurations, hierarchical workflows, and built-in tools, we create a system where each agent has a clear role, and the supervisor ensures quality and coherence throughout the project lifecycle. You can find the full code here.We begin by installing necessary libraries and defining a `TaskPriority` enum…

Liquid AI has introduced LFM2-Audio-1.5B, a pioneering audio-language foundation model that understands and generates both speech and text through a single, end-to-end stack. This innovation is designed to deliver low-latency, real-time performance on resource-constrained devices, expanding the LFM2 family into the realm of audio while maintaining a small footprint.A Unified Backbone with Disentangled Audio I/OAt the heart of LFM2-Audio is a unified 1.2B-parameter backbone derived from the LFM2 language model, which treats audio and text as first-class sequence tokens. Crucially, the model disentangles audio representations, processing inputs as continuous embeddings projected directly from raw waveform chunks (~80 ms), while outputs…
