Nico Martin @nico.dev, Machine Learning Engineer at @hf.co & GDE in AI + Web, is joining Nordic.js! His talk “Look ma, no hands! Multimodal AI-Agents in the Browser” shows how real AI runs client-side. No cloud, no install. 🚀

Awesome Conference in an awesome City. What more could you ask for? 😍

The #CFP for #ReactParis is online. I have had the honor of speaking twice, and both times were unforgettable. The conference is superbly organized, the audience is fantastic, and the speaker activities surrounding it were amazing every time! 👇

Had this on my list for quite some time: installing #Linux on one of my old laptops. So here we go. #Omarchy on my 10y+ Lenovo Thinkpad. Before it was suuuper slow and barely usable with Windows 10, now its actually quite nice😊

In one of my #WebAI demos I switched from React to @preactjs.com. That means around 40KB less to download. Instead of 7'131'943 KB its now just 7'131'903 KB 🎉. Follow me for more performance tips!

I built a small #MCP wrapper around the #JokeAPI so AI Agents can finally be funny! github.com/nico-martin/...

Tomorrow I will be at #BärnerJSTalks and show a few updates on KITT. For example, with #TransformersJS I have reduced the initial response time from about 8sec to just one second! www.meetup.com/barner-js-ta...

Made it! My goal was <60min. Ended up with 55:48 and I think I could have pushed myself a bit harder. Anyways, I'm super proud of the journey😊💪

It's out! I'll be speaking at @nordicjs.com 🎉

Later this year, programmier.con will take place in Bad Nauheim for the first time. The event is being organized by @programmier.bar one of my favorite podcasts! And I'm extremely excited to be a part of it! www.programmier.bar/konferenzen/...

Small LLMs (like in this case #Qwen3 4b) can be tricky to work with. Some times you just need to be persistent. Very persistent.

Yesterday I did my first full 10k. At 6'15. One month to go and I'm pretty confident😊

Sometimes I feel bad for my non-developer friends. They will never experience the satisfaction of refactoring a junk of poorly typed JavaScript (FlowJS) to TypeScript🤤

Beyond happy to announce that I'm joining 🤗 @hf.co as a #MachineLearningEngineer focused on #WebML!

My goal is <60min. And I think that is possible. I usually do a similar route. Between 6 and 9km. And my pace is progressing quite a bit over the last weeks: 7'17 7'32 6'29 6'44 6'20 6'10

Does anyone here know anyone from @anthropic.com? I've built a streamable HTTP #MCP server. Everything works perfectly in the MCP Inspector. But I cant use it in #claude. It just wont find the tools.. memory-mcp.nico.dev/mcp

My talk from @jsnation.gitnation.org in Amsterdam has been published. It was great fun🎉! gitnation.com/contents/let...

So I've built a little #MCP Server that connects #Claude with my #BankAccount. Not sure if it's a good idea, but it works🎉

Bye bye banking👋 I handed in my #resignation at aity AG last week. Not because I lost interest, quite the contrary! I got a unique opportunity to work full-time on an amazing project in #WebAI that perfectly matches my personal interests. More details soon... ✨

This is amazing! @hf.co just released their latest 3B LLM. #SmolLM3 is not only leading in a lot of the benchmarks, but is also the only model that is fully #OpenSource! huggingface.co/blog/smollm3

I signed up for my first 10km run😅! Two years ago I could barely walk upstairs due to injuries from my intense skiing in the past. After physio and cycling (lots of cycling), I'm finally jogging again. My knee's holding up, so it's time for the next challenge. Wish me luck🍀!

I think #ClaudeCode as an IDE plugin is currently the best compromise between #VibeCoding and hand coding. It helps where you ask for it, but leaves me in charge of the code. I'm pretty amazed by the developer experience😍

Every speaker has their #BucketListConference. The conferences they really want to speak at, but never got the opportunity. Well, on my list there was only one. And just today I got my invitation🎉. Hope to share more soon! ✨

Yesterday, I read a good quote in an email group on the topic of hardware requirements for local AI tasks: "Seems like one of those “the future is already here, it’s just not very evenly distributed” moments." Absolutely true. Unfortunately. #WebAI #OnDeviceAI

Lets try @gitnation.bsky.social ❤️

Realtalk. Are #conferences really worth all the effort? The travel, the hours spent creating demos, slides and breaking down complex topics? I think so, yes! Especially because I just really enjoy being on stage! #JSNation, thank you so much for the snapshot♥️.

Back home after an incredible experience at @jsnation.gitnation.org #JSNation

I guess it worked perfectly😄. ~300 fireworks were launched during my talk at @jsnation.gitnation.org Which means around one firework every 4 seconds🎆 #jsnation

Some @hf.co love at @xenova.bsky.social's talk on #TransformersJS at @jsnation.gitnation.org #JSNation

On my way to Amsterdam for @jsnation.gitnation.org #WebAI

Only a few days left until @jsnation.gitnation.org! I'm working on a fun, interactive twist for my talk on #WebAI - can’t wait to try it out on stage 😄

The last 2 weeks have been a bit quieter here as I've been enjoying my vacation in Spain. However, I have also been working on a pretty cool library: github.com/nico-martin/...

There is a direct train from Thun to Mannheim. So my journey to #enterJS couldn't be more comfortable. See you in about 4h🤗 #ejs25

Thats pretty wild😳. I just tried the new #Qwen3 0.6B Model with #WebLLM for structured-output tool-calling. And it works surprisingly good. With and without "thinking" enabled. The model ist just 335MB🤯

Its a wrap. @uphillconf.bsky.social has been an amazing experience. Huge thanks to all the organizers and everyone who helped shape this event🙏!

I am so ready for my #Workshop about #WebAI at @uphillconf.bsky.social! It will probably just be very difficult not to be distracted by the view😍

From idea to done vibe-coded in under 15'😄. github.com/nico-martin/... An URL shortener in PHP that uses just a json file as the Database.

Back home from a fantastic week in Bolognia. Huge thanks to everyone involved organizing #JSDay! It was a great experience. I had a couple of people reaching out to me after my talk telling me that it inspired them to start playing around with AI in their apps. Which is awesome!🫶

Could anyone please go back in time and ask "couple of weeks ago"-Nico why he thinks its a good idea to book a train to Bolognia with 1h layover in Domodossola at 8am when there are DIRECT CONNECTIONS available?!? Anyways.. Looking forward to #jsday in a couple of hours😍

Tried something new today. Its windy but the lake is still freezing? No problem😄

Most important question for startups trying to raise money in the vibe-coding times: "do you understand what your code does?" If the answer is no you are buying a bunch of tech dept that you'll have to rewrite at some point.

Great analysis on Googles standing in the AI-world: youtu.be/A0V4km88tFc?... ChatGPT has caught google cold and has probably brought about some fundamental changes internally. It took a few years but it seems they have now been able to leverage their advantages in all three areas of AI.

Its a wrap! #ReactParis has been wonderful. I had high expectations from last year, and they were exceeded. The talks were great, the food was amazing, the venue was perfect and the people were super nice❤️

The best part of conferences is the friends we make along the way 🫶 #ReactParis

Thanks to everyone who joined my talk today at #ReactParis! I and my friend KITT had a lot of fun😊🤖! slides.nico.dev/250321-kitt-...

Look who made it to #ReactParis.. it's me😄. Tech Check is done, now I'm looking forward to the next two days. Hopefully with more people😄 @bejs.bsky.social

There are two things I am really looking forward to for #Gemma3: 1. Multimodal input (which means it "understands" images) 2. 128k context window length (gemma2 had 8k) There is a great post by @hf.co: huggingface.co/blog/gemma3

There is a 1B parameter #Gemma3 model coming 😳! The jump from Gemma to Gemma2 was massive. So I can't wait to try it out! blog.google/technology/d... #GoogleDeepmind #WebAI

An #AiAgent is more that just a chatbot. It understands the user's requirements, decides if and when tools need to be used and can process requests in several steps.

It's going to be really, really great😍!
