kind of cool: mistral is doing all this work with *only* 3MW of GPUs!
(3800 x 800W)
add in the rest of the infra, you're domain specific open frontier for less than 5MW!
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.

I am very, very, very bullish on commercial space in India. It will take a decade, but it's the only country with a real chance of competing alongside the U.S. and China. corememory.com/p/a-new-india…

It’s called having a hobby, and people used to be encouraged to have one, but now influencer bros will judge for not maxxxxxxxxing on that, too.
A garden is never finished, either.
Reddit'te tanıştığım yabancı bir arkadaşım yaklaşık 8 aydır mobil oyun geliştiriyor. Arada bana da gösteriyor, her seferinde oyun biraz daha güzelleşmiş oluyor.
Geçen sordum ne zaman yayınlayacaksın diye. Birkaç eksik varmış, onları tamamlayacakmış.
Merak ettim, ne eksik dedim.
Map’in ışıklandırma, assetlerin gölgeleri, bir de ana menüye animasyon ekleyecekmiş.
Dedim bunlar bitince yayınlayacak mısın? Yok, sonra da araç fiziklerini elden geçirecekmiş.
Dedim sen oyun geliştirmiyorsun, oyunu yayınlamamak için kendine iş çıkarıyorsun.
Bence bazı insanların başarısız olmaktan korktuğu için oyunu hiç bitirmemek gibi tuhaf bir savunma mekanizması var.
Çünkü yayınlamadığı sürece o oyun hep potansiyel bir başarı olarak kalacak. Kimse de aksini kanıtlayamayacak.

Nine months ago, this did not exist.
Today, India can build its own Fast Steering Mirror. QOSMIC’s FSM has cleared thermal vacuum and vibration qualification, both on the first attempt.
The FSM is the fine-pointing core of every optical link: satellite to ground, satellite to satellite, ground to ground. It holds a laser locked on target while everything around it moves, making hundreds of tiny corrections every second.
To put that precision in perspective: lay a grid over Rashtrapati Bhavan. From 500 km above your head, our FSM is designed to point a laser link at any single point on it.
Only two or three suppliers worldwide build this class of hardware. So we built ours.
From nothing to space-qualified in under a year.
Built to survive launch. Now it waits for one 👀

Today, we are launching a preview of our new model, Mistral Large 4 (ML4), aka le Chonk 🐈.
ML4 is a 1T-parameter model with 49B active parameters, trained natively with multimodal capabilities.
It is at the frontier of open models, and by far the strongest open-weight model from the US or Europe.
The RL run behind this preview is still in flight and shows no sign of saturation -- we will release a final version before the end of the month along with the weights of the model.
🧵
1/n
Meet Mistral Large 4, aka Le Chonk.
• 1T parameters, natively multimodal. 49B active.
It is the best open weights model from US or Europe on aggregated benchmarks.
• State-of-the-art on critical workloads, including cyber defense, manufacturing and finance and it surpasses closed frontier models on visual grounding.
• Forged in Europe end-to-end and is deployable from Europe via our own Mistral Cloud infrastructure.
• Available to all via API today. Working with cybersecurity partners privately.
Open weights release end of October.

what's more worth sponsoring?
- an overhyped linux distro that doesn't run anything mission critical
- a javascript runtime that runs half of the internet including likely their infra

I wouldn't bank your career on Jevon's paradox
Demand for SWE as a skill can increase. But the value of that skill can still go down.
IE a lot of people write. Being a good writer is useful. Very few people make tons of money just being a "writer".

🥳 Excited to share that @lossfunk got 4 papers into NeurIPS main conference.
Please join me in congratulating the authors!
Aman @arcaman07, Sushrut @martisamuser, Abhinav @MajorTimbWlf21, Pranav - @Avg_sapient
First authors are all undergrads :)

My article about NUMA in Linux is out.
NUMA is very easy to ignore when you're developing. Your local machine probably doesn't have it, and Linux handles it transparently on your server, so you may never notice, but your performance isn't optimal, especially with memory-intensive applications.
You can probably go your whole career without knowing about NUMA and be perfectly fine. But if you're the kind of person who wants to squeeze out every last drop of performance, or who just really wants to know how everything works, this is an introduction to how NUMA works inside Linux.

BREAKING: For the first time in history, a space launch from continental Europe has successfully reached orbit.
@isaraerospace, the German space company, launched its Spectrum rocket from Andøya Spaceport in Norway today.

No DLI beneficiary should be allowed to be acquired by foreign companies. Gov is subsidizing the R&D cost to develop Indian owned IP. If the plan is to get subsidy then flip it to foreign companies then raise only pvt money. it's like GOI subsidizing Infineon's R&D.

BEML Concall:
1. TBM designing is underway, working on STS crane.
2. Carbody shell is being completed for B28 trainset.
3. India would need at least 600 trains for upcoming seven HSR corridors.
4. Already working on 350 kph B35.
5. B28/35 IP will be owned by India.

I have posted two updates about RADDBG on Linux, and all I can say is that, while the majority of responses have been very positive, the rest make it obvious why it has taken so long for the Linux ecosystem to provide a ~viable consumer desktop experience (for Windows to decay so much that there is not really any alternative).
There is no coherency in the design of the platform. There is no sane team calling the shots, so the user base spends their time bikeshedding over what should be trivialities. Everybody has an opinion about everything. Window managers (X11? Wayland? X11 on Wayland?), to package managers, to libc versions, to the right folder to use for X/Y/Z, to which shell interpreter to use, to how to ask the user for a file path (libportal? zenity?), to how to show the user a trivial message box, and so on. And this is just the beginning—the trivial stuff that most people reading this will get, without needing a ton of extra context.
If your users or developers are debating about any of this, YOU FAILED. The platform SUCKS. It will only succeed when centralized teams (e.g. shipping hardware using the Linux ecosystem) steer the ship and make decisions. Then, people write to that, and that becomes the actual standard.

I think a more precise description is non-lexical lifetimes (NLL). The named variables have lexical scope, but lifetimes can be more granular, and this has gradually evolved over time: original borrow checker (2006) -> NLL (2018) -> Polonius (2026?).

This was a fantastic question to explore with @indiaBUILDwiki - turns out the tech-stack unlock needed is at multiple levels.
We're quite some distance from being able to do this but we've made starts at multiple places in the tech tree. The wiki has populated all the node stubs for now.
