Core Committers Check-in – November 2025  🔗 **Source:** [Core Committers Check-in – November 2025](https://feedly.com/i/entry/ihKAaKbWPoEPw1zJg3aApnKlwh9Ni0oMtn0F9gtlYSU=_19ac1bea5af:99ef972:f967e267) ## Highlights - The main point to underscore out of this discussion is that the intention in 2026 is to return to a cadence of 3 major releases per year. A release in February was proposed, but most felt that was too short. - Events are typically planned around budget, venue availability, and regional factors such as the predominant religious holidays or weather patterns. - The About page is seen by so few people today with many sites auto-updating major releases. - Core will always remain agnostic. Including a specific model or only integrating with some third-party services is not sustainable. - Features can be conditionally available based on the presence of an AI model. - Open source models could be used. But oftentimes the experience is bad. Models are quite large. They must download on a per-site basis, which takes time and disk space (even the smallest models are approaching 1GB) - Machine-based models such as Apple Intelligence may be an option. - Browsers are working towards including models within the browser. This means they would already be installed on a user’s machine, and all data stays local. The W3C WebML working group is working to standardize these tools.
