there are so many things devs(including me) building products for everyone get wrong, it’s so revealing.
never saw the reason for model auto routing based on task difficulty @zorveus_ , but speaking with customers now showed that it’s one thing they really want.
build it it is.

@usescaloo did awesome work with @IntronHealth for the Sahara CodeSwitch Hackathon, reaching more than 1,500 developers and decision-makers across some of Nigeria's largest companies in 48 hours.
"i am a builder, not a sales person" changes when the stakes are high or bank is red.
you go turn sales person before you know it 😂
Led by GB of flutterwave(yeah, the payments company).
Pretty sure that the payment provider used would be exclusively flutterwave soon (they currently use Bachs)
EXCLUSIVE : Vatar Inc., the company behind the viral Nigerian browser game @LagosLifeApp , has closed a $500,000 pre-seed round at a $10 million valuation three days after incorporation, according to a company statement.
“We built something people love that is growing very fast, so a lot of investors wanted to be involved,” Shalom Rayhamen, co-founder and CEO of Vatar Inc., told TechCabal in an interview. “We got the opportunity to connect and hear their offers, and because we are growing so fast, we closed it quickly so we could focus on the product.”
Olugbenga “GB” Agboola, Flutterwave’s CEO, invested through his fund, Resilience17. Oo Nwoye, Nathan Nwachuku, Terra Industries CEO, and Abdulhamid Hassan, Mono’s CEO, also participated in the round, which the company says closed in a day.
Lagos Life is part of a wave of Nigerian-made browser games sparked by Lagos Run, Opeyemi Adeniran’s game about driving a danfo, the iconic yellow bus, through Lagos, which drew more than 140,000 players in its first week. Rayhamen built Lagos Life days after seeing Lagos Run on X, and copycats soon followed.

Launching the public beta of Harness Dojo.
Think of it like LeetCode + CodeCrafters, but for harness engineering.
There's a widening gap between how the best applied AI teams build and what most engineers get to touch at their day jobs.
That's why I started building this. The goal is not to prepare you for interviews, but to make you production-ready.
First 5 problems are live.
Try it: harnessdojo.com
Would love brutal feedback.

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.

crazy
Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.
48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video.
It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard.

I really did think @OpenAI dev day would include a showcase of the work with Jony ive.
what happened to that partnership?

looks like it’s straight of a sci-fi movie 🤯
From concept to reality.
@SpaceX has successfully deployed Starlink V3 satellites into Earth’s orbit and made contact with them for the first time.
At scale, one Starship carries 60 V3 satellites, the same network capacity as about 20 Falcon 9 launches.
