We learned how to prepare perfumes and tried our hands at creating mosaic tiles. The event went smoothly, the ambience was cozy and friendly, and it gave us the space to connect in a different way.

Pavel Yarakhovich shared his experience: โ€œI created something that I would not normally use and confirmed Iโ€™m definitely better at writing code than crafting fragrances ๐Ÿ˜„โ€

And during the mosaic session, Elene Tsotseria captured the vibe perfectly:
"Who knew tiny pieces of glass, clay, and mystery materials could turn creativity and patience into a fun time with colleagues, and it was fun to observe everyoneโ€™s unique choices!โ€

There were experiments, tiny tiles everywhere, unexpected scent combinations, and plenty of laughs in between.

Good people and creativity. Moments like this bring a different kind of energy. ๐ŸŒต

We ran OpenClaw 24/7 on a Raspberry Pi 4 to see what happens when an AI agent doesnโ€™t just answer, but acts.

Scripts, monitoring, integrations, real automation.

The result?
OpenClaw feels less like a chatbot and more like infrastructure.

2026 will be about building AI that actually works in a reliable, well-managed, scalable way.

After a year full of breakthroughs and lessons learned, here's where we see AI truly moving next:

โ‘  Strong oversight becomes essential
โ‘ก Agents finally grow up
โ‘ข Multimodality becomes AIโ€™s native language
โ‘ฃ AI moves from the cloud to the real world
โ‘ค Small models take the spotlight

Which of these shifts do you think will have the biggest impact in 2026?

What does it really take to integrate an LLM into an iOS device?

On-device LLMs are opening the door to a new generation of apps capable of reasoning and generating content, and operating with privacy and speed. But getting these models to run locally on iOS itโ€™s a technical workflow.

In our latest article, Antonio Moreno Zamorano talks about the core steps behind this process:

How to choose a model that fits Appleโ€™s hardware constraints, how to translate it into CoreML, why quantization and optimization matter for performance, how integration works inside Xcode, how developers should maintain these models over time, and even one of the most critical decisions: how users will interact with these conversational systems.

At Cactus, we want to make everyday work simpler through innovation. Thatโ€™s why we built our own AI-powered chatbot inside Microsoft Teams to help new colleagues find the information they need faster and reduce repetitive questions for our HR and IT teams.

The Cactai LAB team continues to support us by turning ideas into practical solutions, making our daily tasks easier and more efficient and this chatbot is a great example of that collaboration.
