AI day: seven infrastructure releases, one pricing post

AI projects dominated the wire with seven of twelve items. Six were infrastructure: llama.cpp tested alternative convolution layouts, llm CLI switched its default model to GPT-5.6 Luna, Mistral Vibe added a skill-creator flow and session cache-hit tracking, and two ElevenLabs libraries shipped conversation and multipart-field fixes. OpenAI published a pricing post on GPT-5.6 Luna and Terra. Bitcoin contributed four stories: Sparrow 2.5.3 with XDG directory support and ERA hardware wallet compatibility, Coldcard 5.6.0, and a dummy Ledger Live release. Nostr saw Primal Android 3.5.25 ship a follow mute list and remote signer protocol updates. The only security work was AdGuard Home beta 90.
