Google just released Gemma 4, the latest generation of their open model family — and two things make this one genuinely different. First, it's now Apache 2.0 licensed, removing the custom-license friction that held back adoption. Second, the lineup spans from a 2B-parameter edge model that fits on a Raspberry Pi to a 31B powerhouse that ranks in the top 3 open-source LLMs on the Arena AI leaderboard. If you're a web developer, this one's worth a closer look 🧠.

Andrej Karpathy — the same person who coined vibe coding — recently published a gist describing a pattern he calls the "LLM Wiki". The core tension it addresses is simple: RAG re-derives knowledge from scratch on every question. What if the LLM built something persistent instead — a structured, interlinked wiki that compounds over time? It's a deceptively simple idea with some genuinely interesting implications.

Here's what caught our eye this week across JavaScript Weekly, React Status, and Node Weekly — and what it means for the Aliz stack. This is our first newsletter roundup post: a new recurring format where we distill the highlights so the team doesn't have to read three inboxes.

AI tooling is moving fast — fast enough that "just Google it" no longer works. We just shipped a dedicated AI-Assisted Development section to the Web Hub so the whole team is working from the same playbook.

Remember when we said this was an experiment? Well, the experiment grew up. We just shipped a curated, 13-tool Recommended Tech Stack for Aliz frontend projects — a single reference for what we reach for when starting something new.

High Definition colors can be used in the browsers.

This is an experiment. This should be a place for engineers to find info/recommendations to topics related to Web, Node and everything Javascript.

Maybe sometime in the future other engineering tracks inside Aliz will use this setup, or maybe we will have a big Aliz Tech Hub. Who knows?

What if it fails to be useful?​
