Every week there's a "game-changing" new AI model.
Most people don't have time to work out which ones matter.
I'm not an engineer. I work and use AI every single day.
So here's the deal: I test the new stuff and tell you, in plain English, what's worth your time.
Follow if that sounds useful.
@anupamrjp As a non-coder: whichever one explains itself best. The AI-first tools feel magical until something breaks and you've no idea why. I'd start with something that makes you read what it wrote, what do you think?
@jakobgreenfeld This is the kind of AI use I wish more people talked about. Quiet, boring, actually useful. What do you tell it counts as 'interesting'? That seems like the part that decides whether you get gold or spam
@svpino@n8n_io would a non-technical person be able to really set it up for everyday things like email or reminders? Or is it something that someone would need to do some research to better understand it?
Chinese market keeps amazing me everytime, Baidu just released ERNIE 5.5 Flash Preview, a fast AI model that's good at coding and 3D design. The interesting part: Baidu says it'll publish the model openly, so anyone can run it and build on it for free. Open models keep catching up with the paid ones.
Europe just released one of the biggest free-to-download AI models ever: Mistral Large 4, around 1 trillion parameters.
Two things people should know:
1. You can't run it on your laptop. It's enormous.
2. "Open" has a catch: companies selling it as a service need a separate deal with Mistral.
Still good news for anyone who doesn't want all AI to come from 2–3 US companies.
