LocalMode UI drops a shadcn-style registry of 100+ React components that run models like Phi 3.5 Mini and Llama 3.2 1B entirely in the browser via WebGPU. A Google DeepMind engineer's side project browser generates every page from scratch using Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite, which is more interesting as a concept than a daily driver. PNPM is adding config dependencies for sharing settings across repos, and Solid Objects brings Cloudflare's Durable Objects model to Rails without Redis. ## Content **TLDR:** Toss's es-toolkit has crossed 30 million weekly downloads and 10,000 GitHub stars, putting real pressure on Lodash by stripping legacy compatibility code and shipping a migration-friendly compat layer.

The library wins on bundle size by dropping the legacy browser compatibility code Lodash carries, accepting only arrays instead of doing type dispatch at runtime, and leaning on TypeScript types for safety rather than defensive runtime checks. The smart move is the compat layer — it mirrors the full Lodash API so teams can swap the import and migrate incrementally rather than all at once.

Models like Phi 3.5 Mini and Llama 3.2 1B run entirely in the browser through WebGPU — no server, no API key. It installs via the shadcn CLI and includes DevTools components for inspecting pipelines and managing model loading. Worth watching if you're building privacy-sensitive or offline-capable AI features.

Users supply their own API key. It can restyle any site across 20+ themes (Geocities, Windows 95, Vaporwave) and rewrites content on the fly, sometimes attributing articles to fictional authors. The concept is genuinely interesting — a browser as a rendering opinion rather than a faithful parser — but the fixed theme set gets repetitive fast.

Each actor gets a stable addressable identity, durable JSON state, a strictly ordered per-object mailbox, and per-entity alarms. Wrapping ERB in solid_object with declared observables delivers automatic Turbo Stream live updates to connected browsers with no channel classes or manual broadcasts. Requires Ruby 3.3+ and Rails 8.0+; described as functional and tested but not yet production-ready.
