Story

Berman's video curates 12 OSS projects across local inference, agents, and tooling with hands-on demos, aimed at builders who want no-lock-in alternatives. It fits the post-Fable-5 push toward open weights to cut geopolitical and vendor dependency. He couldn't confirm the full transcript, so treat the exact lineup as unverified, but the framing is the timely part.
