3DVF: 3D-Info: a free, open Source and cross-platform USD scene viewer!
The CST (Higher Technical Commission for Image and Sound) has launched 3D-Info, a tool intended to simply and effectively visualize 3D scenes. Focused on the USD format, the tool already allows you to explore scenes and will be expanded over time with new functions. (…) The tool will allow, for example, to adjust and export cameras and images, take measurements in a setting, share notes, or even play animations. It is also designed to open props, animated characters or settings. On the more technical side, it allows you to consult the hierarchy of “stage” and “layers”, notions specific to this scene composition format.

CIO: 10 things to watch out for with open Source generative AI
Open Source generative AI models can be freely downloaded, used at scale without API call costs, and run securely behind enterprise firewalls. But don’t let your guard down. Because risks are indeed present. (…) Hugging Face currently tracks over 80,000 LLMs for text generation alone and fortunately has a table that allows you to quickly sort models based on their results on various benchmark tests. And these models, although technologically lagging behind major commercial models, are improving rapidly.
