[Mistral AI @MistralAI]

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.

@beebomco I mean you still can play it, if you ever heard of waybackmachine

[TANSTACK @tan_stack]

TanStack Charts 1.0 is here 🎉

Small bundles, fast updates, and charts you don’t have to outgrow.

Start with a line and see where it takes you, or just simply tell your agent to "use Tanstack Charts"!

For decades, researchers have sought materials that sort electrons by spin while their magnetism cancels.

In 3 days, 90+ Opus 5.5 agents helped us uncover two room-temperature magnetic semiconductor candidates in simulations: YBaMnFeO₅ and KV[Cr(CN)₆].

KV[Cr(CN)₆] was synthesized back in 1999. Its predicted ability to sort electrons by spin appears to have been hiding in plain sight for 27 years.

@KarlDeisseroth Congrats Karl, you are amazing

[Mustafa. @oprydai]

the next major leap in AI probably won’t come from making language models bigger.
language is a representation of the world. it is not the world itself.

intelligence has to understand state, causality, actions, consequences, and how environments change over time.
this is why I think world models + recursive self-improvement are such important research directions.

Skyfall is taking a serious swing at this problem: moving beyond LLM-centric agents toward systems that can model the world, continuously improve, and eventually automate increasingly complex organizations.
the deeper question isn’t just how intelligent these systems become.
it’s what happens to society when intelligence and increasingly large parts of economic production become automated.

worth reading their vision.

Introducing gdp-ts: Ghosts of Departed Proofs for TypeScript.

gdp-ts is a library, linter and AI skill for safer API design. Under this contract, sensitive functions require 'proofs' that the caller performed an authorization check.

The typechecker verifies these proofs at compile time, preventing your team and agents from shipping catastrophic security (and other kinds of) bugs.

While these patterns have existed for quite some time, especially in ecosystems like Haskell, ① human code review and ② cognitive and syntactic overhead made these solutions niche.

The situation is now inverted. Agents are writing more code than we can review, and they *thrive* in tight loops with hard constraints that would frustrate us. We see this with the rise of Rust, borrow checker, code aesthetics debate and all.

The README and examples model a real-world Vercel API product constraint: changing the password on a Project requires a proof of a certain role + a certain entitlement. Thanks to Matt Noonan and Ollie Charles for their research in this space.

Finally some open source model from EUROPE

[Aleph Alpha @Aleph__Alpha]

Small bird, fast wings, Kolibri is here.

78B parameters. 3.46B active. Up to 1M tokens of context. Built in Europe.

Now the weights are yours. Run it on your own hardware, under Apache 2.0.

@vasilbuilds Happy for you!

Inspirational to see someone grow in realtime.

Pakistan: Two teenagers arrested after AI Chatbot Claud flagged and reported their conversations with AI to FBI.

Two teenagers from Bahawalpur and Karachi were arrested after they shared their plans to kill others with Claud.

One asked Claud about poisoning his father, while the other discussed a plan to assault a police officer’s son who had insulted his father.

Claud flagged their conversations to FBI which shared information with Pakistani authorities that led to their arrests.

@_mohansolo But like always, on every launch of Gemini's new model, we hope something will be special and I still hope so.

[Ashar Mehmood @asharcodes]

@_mohansolo I expect Antigravity's coding capability to have zero change after these updates bcz it's being reported that Opus 5.5 is getting nerfed, moreover we all know from past experiences that Gemini models are already nerfed (or benchmaxxed) and are not excellent in real world usage
