5 Open-Source AI Models Actually Worth Running on Your M5 Mac in 2026

The five open-source AI models worth running on an M5 Mac in April 2026 are Mistral 7B (16 GB), Qwen 3.5 9B (24 GB), DeepSeek R1 Distill Qwen 14B (24 GB), Gemma 4 26B-A4B (32 GB), and Qwen 3.5 35B-A3B (32 GB+). Minimum unified memory is 16 GB, the sweet spot is 24 GB, and anything above 30B parameters needs 32 GB or more. Frontier open-source models like GLM-5 or the full DeepSeek R1 need hundreds of GBs of VRAM, so skip those entirely. The five below are what actually fits. Apple’s own MLX benchmarks show the M5 chip delivering a 3 to 4 times speedup on time-to-first-token compared to […]

PDF to PowerPoint with AI: Turn Any Document into a Presentation

A dense 50-page PDF can become a 20-slide editable PowerPoint in under 5 minutes using AI, and you don’t need expensive software to do it. The trick is using AI to extract the structure, rewrite the content for slides, and polish the narrative before you ever open PowerPoint or Keynote. Fello AI is the fastest way to run this entire workflow on Mac. It gives you GPT-5.4, Claude, Gemini, and more in one app for $9.99/month, so you can extract the outline with one model, rewrite bullets with another, and refine the tone with a third, all without switching tabs or paying for three separate subscriptions. This guide walks you […]

5 Best Claude Cowork Alternatives for Everyday Work

Claude Cowork costs between $100 and $200 per month for meaningful use, requires the Claude Desktop app, and grants AI full access to your file system. In early 2026, a venture capital founder named Nick Davidov asked Cowork to tidy his wife’s desktop, and the AI deleted 15 years of family photos within minutes. That story, shared on LinkedIn and covered widely, became one of the most-shared AI incidents of the year and a clear signal that many people need a simpler, safer path to AI productivity. The good news is that you do not need a desktop AI agent to get help with PDFs, presentations, spreadsheets, and writing. Whether […]

Switching from ChatGPT to Claude: Why, How, and What to Expect

Switching from ChatGPT to Claude has never been more popular. More than 700,000 users have reportedly ditched ChatGPT as part of the growing QuitGPT movement, and Claude has surged to the top of Apple’s U.S. App Store free rankings for the first time, with paid subscribers more than doubling since January 2026. ChatGPT app uninstalls spiked 295% in a single day following a string of controversies around OpenAI’s ethics decisions and GPT-5.2’s much-criticised writing quality.

10 Easy Ways How to Detect AI Deepfakes in 2026

In Fello AI, you can cross-check a clip by enabling web search, pulling trustworthy coverage, and comparing what multiple models flag as suspicious, without relying on one detector alone.
