https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/ New records, corrections, and site changes in the USASI catalog. Independent project. Not a United States government website. en-us Tue, 13 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-13-twelve-more-documented-local-setups-for-the-finder-and-the-m https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-13-twelve-more-documented-local-setups-for-the-finder-and-the-m Tue, 13 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT The finder now records twelve more local configurations, each with a memory figure from the model or runtime publisher's documentation for one exact variant: Gemma 4 12B, 26B A4B, and 31B in Google's QAT Q4_0 GGUF builds, Muse Glimmer 30B, gpt-oss-20b, Olmo 3 7B Instruct, Rnj-1 Instruct, Llama 3.1 8B, StarCoder2, and Whisper large-v3, run with llama.cpp, LM Studio, Transformers, or the openai-whisper package. Each entry quotes what its figure measures, such as a minimum, a loaded-model footprint, or a file size. The pages for 8, 12, 16, and 24 GB of VRAM and for 8, 16, 24, and 32 GB of Apple silicon memory now list different sets. None of these setups has been tested by USASI. https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-13-local-ai-by-memory-what-fits-8-to-24-gb-of-vram-or-an-apple- https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-13-local-ai-by-memory-what-fits-8-to-24-gb-of-vram-or-an-apple- Tue, 13 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT New fixed pages list the documented local configurations from the finder that fit 8, 12, 16, or 24 GB of graphics memory, or 8 to 64 GB of Apple silicon unified memory, by each publisher's own memory figure. Each entry names the exact variant, quotes the publisher's statement with its source, and links to the catalog record and to the finder pre-filled for that hardware. The pages use the finder's own rule and say what they do not cover: speed, context length, and untested setups. https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-13-a-people-directory-with-a-page-for-every-profile-and-a-large https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-13-a-people-directory-with-a-page-for-every-profile-and-a-large Tue, 13 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Profiles of founders and executives, engineers and researchers, and open-source maintainers connected to the catalog now have their own pages under /people/, with filters for group, organization, specialty, and contribution type. Each profile was researched from primary sources and checked by a separate fact-checking pass. Latest news gained items for July through October 2026 from official sources, a category, organization, and month filter, and an event-date order. https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-13-a-page-for-every-document-in-the-policy-tracker-starting-wit https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-13-a-page-for-every-document-in-the-policy-tracker-starting-wit Tue, 13 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Each law, executive order, memorandum, framework, and report in the U.S. AI policy tracker now has its own page with the recorded summary, key provisions, dates, issuer, status, related documents, and the same cited sources. The tracker keeps its overview and its old links to each entry, and every entry now links to its page. https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-12-a-cleaner-homepage-header-footer-and-organization-pages https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-12-a-cleaner-homepage-header-footer-and-organization-pages Mon, 12 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT The homepage introduction now sets the heading, search, and both directories beside a framed copy of the artwork on wide screens. The header groups People Behind Big SI and People Behind Local SI under a People menu, the footer is reorganized into five short columns, and expandable sections share one consistent arrow. Organization pages open with an "At a glance" summary and a contents bar that lists only the sections each page has, and long pages gain a "Top" button. https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-11-people-behind-big-si-and-in-depth-pages-for-xai-tesla-meta-a https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-11-people-behind-big-si-and-in-depth-pages-for-xai-tesla-meta-a Sun, 11 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT A new section, People Behind Big SI, profiles the founders, chief executives, and builders behind the companies shaping AI: their education, what they built, their honors, and a career timeline, all from official biographies, filings, government records, universities, and awarding bodies. The organization pages for xAI, Tesla, Meta, Anthropic, and OpenAI gain an in-depth guide with an overview, themed sections, a models and products lineup, a dated timeline, and leadership, each line linked to its official source. People Behind Local AI is renamed People Behind Local SI. https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-11-preview-cards-for-every-page-and-rss-feeds-for-every-company https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-11-preview-cards-for-every-page-and-rss-feeds-for-every-company Sun, 11 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Links to records, news items, explainers, hubs, license guides, and weekly issues now show their own preview card when shared, with the page title and key catalog facts.

The Data and reuse page links to it. https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-11-ai-and-super-intelligence-explained-for-kids https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-11-ai-and-super-intelligence-explained-for-kids Sun, 11 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT A new section for readers about 8 to 12, meant to be read with a grown-up: seven short lessons on what AI is, how it learns, what "super intelligence" means (both the new U.S. government name and the older idea), what AI can and cannot do, using it safely, how people keep it safe, and AI in future jobs. Each lesson has an activity, a quick quiz that saves nothing, and a sources note for grown-ups. A word list and a note for parents and teachers go with them. https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-11-search-from-any-page-a-states-map-and-printable-kids-lessons https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-11-search-from-any-page-a-states-map-and-printable-kids-lessons Sun, 11 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT A search button in the header (or the / key, or Ctrl or ⌘ K) now searches every published record and page from anywhere on the site: organizations, open models and tools, explainers, learning paths, kids lessons, news, policy, licenses, the glossary, and the site's own pages, with a shareable results page at /search/. Places now opens with a tile map of headquarters states. Kids lessons print as worksheets with an answer key, and a classroom packet puts all seven on one printable page. Every page now prints in dark ink on white without the site header and footer. https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-11-share-and-cite-tools-a-badge-for-maintainers-and-an-archive- https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-11-share-and-cite-tools-a-badge-for-maintainers-and-an-archive- Sun, 11 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Catalog records, news items, explainers, and hubs now have plain share links, APA and BibTeX citations, and a link to the weekly email. Maintainers of listed projects can add a small "Listed in USASI" badge that links to their entry. Sent issues of the weekly email are now archived on the site exactly as they were emailed, starting with issue 1. The privacy page explains share links, copy buttons, and the badge. https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-11-weekly-email-confirmation-step-and-recommended-newsletters-e https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-11-weekly-email-confirmation-step-and-recommended-newsletters-e Sun, 11 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT The weekly email page and the privacy page now say that new subscribers confirm their address by email, and that the signup page may suggest a few other newsletters USASI recommends, without payment. Subscribing to those is optional and gives the reader's address to that newsletter. https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-11-the-usasi-weekly-a-page-for-the-weekly-email https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-11-the-usasi-weekly-a-page-for-the-weekly-email Sun, 11 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT New page explaining the weekly email: what each issue contains, how issues are assembled from material already published on the site, when they arrive, how signup and unsubscribing work, privacy, and sponsor labels.

Three new topic hubs cover safety and security, developer tools, and speech, vision, and multimodal AI. Each new page was written from primary sources read on October 8, 2026, and then checked by a separate fact-checker against those sources. https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-08-eight-new-catalog-records-and-an-embeddinggemma-note https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-08-eight-new-catalog-records-and-an-embeddinggemma-note Thu, 08 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Added Google DeepMind's EmbeddingGemma 2 and SynthID Text, Meta's Llama Guard 4 and Llama 3.1 8B, Ai2's OLMo-core, OpenAI's tiktoken, AMD's ROCm, and Sentence Transformers. Several of these were already named in the explainers and reference hubs without a record of their own. The EmbeddingGemma 300M record now notes that Google lists EmbeddingGemma 2 as a newer model. https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-08-tools-for-deciding-a-finder-a-license-guide-a-policy-tracker https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/changelog/#c-2026-10-08-tools-for-deciding-a-finder-a-license-guide-a-policy-tracker Thu, 08 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT New "Find AI for my needs" finder matches a task, computer, comfort level, and willingness to pay against 17 documented configurations and explains every match, including what is not verified and that USASI has not tested them.
