Le Chonk's Tokenizer. LeChonkenizer?
Today, we release the weights of a new and improved Le Chonk, advancing the open frontier for agentic coding and cybersecurity. 💻 Built to build: Le Chonk ranks #1 on @cognition’s FrontierCode among open models, and sets a new benchmark for Pareto efficiency on @artificialanalysis. 🛡 Built to defend: State-of-the-art in cyberdefense, put through the paces by the world's leading cyber vendors, including @CrowdStrike, @cloudflare, @rubrik, @zscaler, and others. Built for sovereignty: Make it yours. Download the weights on @huggingface , customize it with Mistral Forge, and deploy it wherever you need it. Read more from our team and customers 👇:

The @huggingface version of our chess position evaluations dataset just crossed 1 billion rows. That's 1 billion @stockfishchess evaluations from games played on @lichess!

Interesting release by @jure Leskovec's group: RT-J (86M "relational transformer" ) and THE JOIN, a web-crawled corpus of 639 relational databases with 6K forecasting tasks. (data and models on @huggingface)

Can't get Schmidhubered if I Schmidhuber myself.
Everyone wants those AI scientists! But how possible is it for an LLM to generate novel research ideas rather than just optimizing hyperparameters (broadly construed)? Building directly on the once novel work of @SchmidhuberAI!

🚨 [Token][ization] Paper Alert 🚨 Tokenization is a wildly understudied area of language modeling despite it having effects across all of NLP. Over the past ~8 months, 32 (!) tokenizer researchers put together the most comprehensive survey of the field. Check it out!

ChessLFM went full circle and is now on the home page of @lichess Super cool to see, Lichess is where I collected all the seed data. Based on my limited chess skills, I never thought I'd have an article there.

Love this new slop option on linkedin. They seem to at least be self-aware.

The McManifold (2216 burger recipes as 146-dimensional ingredient vectors)
Using burgers as a model system, a generative AI system rediscovers the classic Big Mac without explicit supervision and generates novel burgers optimized for deliciousness, sustainability, or nutrition, according to a paper in npj Science of Food. go.nature.com/3SU7JDQ
