    I don't know why, but I personally find Mistral's marketing strategy much more appealing than that of other companies.

    For example, there's something about Anthropic's picked design and their little Claude avatars that's unsettling to me.

    Very nice progress. Also I respect putting Kimi on those charts. Regardless of if they are beating the Pareto frontier (not now), model diversity is a good thing for humanity — I’m hopeful for the team to keep increasing their gains.

    Excited to try this. The low costs v. benchmarks alone here are worth a serious test. K3 has been my daily driver for a month or two now and it's dramatically reduced token spend (while not having much of a negative impact on productivity).

    This was the era of the AI race I was waiting for.

    Excited to see this! Nice that they are saying this is just a first step.

    Give them more compute!

    This is awesome, one of the coolest Pokemon ever too for those that don't follow that universe :)

    Open weight, European, competes with GLM-5.3 on cybersecurity. What's not to like?

      Of course not. That's clearly a different URL.

    A bit disappointing to see it still lagging behind Chinese open models. Those Chinese models are pushing proprietary models to raise the bar, but we need equally strong non-Chinese open models to challenge the Chinese ones in turn.

    Don't believe Mistral. They're wrong. It's really called "Le chaton fat".

    Also 1T-A49B. Weights currently closed but promise to open source them by the end of the month.

    Great release movie.

    sorting the charts like that gives off weird vibes

      Bar charts should start at zero. If they don't start at zero, there should be a clear visual indicator that the chart has been trimmed. I hate that this has to be repeated so often that it has become a cliché.

      Had the same thought - feels chart crime adjacent

    Now THAT'S how you name a model. Take note, others.
