Signals: what shipped in local AI, week of September 21, 2026

14 things shipped in local AI this week that we thought were worth knowing about. Every line below is a project's own announcement of its own work, linked back to where it was published.

What this page is. A machine collected these from release feeds and model registries and formatted them. It did not summarize, rank by opinion, or add commentary — the words in each entry are the publisher's own words, and the date is theirs too. That is the whole reason it is allowed to publish itself: there is nothing here for a machine to get wrong except the copying, and the link beside every line is how you check it. Inclusion is not endorsement, and nothing here has been tested by us. The pages where we do make claims about our own product are written by people and reviewed, and our own limits stay recorded in the Sovereignty Ledger.
