Kyber: Ultra-Low Latency Real-Time Control & Streaming, JB Kempf, #FOSSASIA Summit 2026 #Hardware

Kyber is an open-source SDK for ultra–low-latency, real-time control of machines—computers, apps, robots, drones, and AI agents.

Built on QUIC and powered by #FFmpeg and #VLC, #Kyber is cross-platform and works across devices and the web.

Use cases include: Remote desktop (like Citrix or Parsec), Remote rendering (XR / 3D), Teleoperation of drones, robots, and autonomous systems, AI-powered video agents

Kyber streams and synchronizes video, audio, sensors (GPS, IoT), and controls (mouse, keyboard, gamepads, MAVLink) over a single link—enabling adaptive networking, recording, and replay.

Perfect for robotics, automation, and training next-gen AI models.

#FOSSASIA Summit 2026, held in Bangkok, is Asia’s leading Open Source tech conference featuring sessions on #AI, #Cloud, #DevOps, Open Hardware, #Security, Web/Mobile Technologies, #Web3, and #Databases. Learn more: http://summit.fossasia.org

This week in Linux, we got yet another vulnerability in the Linux kernel to talk about. Is it something to be scared of or is it being blown out of proportion? Stay tuned to find out. Plus we have some great news from the KDE team about a new release of Plasma and new funding to the project. Then we’ll talk about some interesting work done over on the Fedora side with Fedora Hummingbird and what that can mean for the future of Linux systems.

And two years ago, on episode 256 of TWIL, I talked about how the HDMI Forum was actively getting in the way of Open Source but apparently, it seems things might have changed and they might be finally getting it.

All of this and more on This Week in Linux, the weekly news show that keeps you up to date with what’s going on in the Linux and Open Source world. Now let’s jump right into Your Source for Linux GNews!
