Look interesting, eager to play around with it! Devstral was a neat model when it released and one of the better ones to run locally for agentic coding. Nowadays I mostly use GPT-OSS-120b for this, so gonna be interesting to see if Devstral 2 can replace it. I'm a bit saddened by the name of the CLI tool, which to me implies the intended usage. "Vibe-coding" is a fun exercise to realize where models go wrong, but for…

This is what we're building at Brokk: https://brokk.ai/

Pretty good for a 123B model! (That said I'm not 100% certain I guessed the correct model ID, I asked Mistral here: https://x.com/simonw/status/1998435424847675429 )

Earlier quoted context omitted.

*according to your definition of open-source

No, according to the commonly accepted definition of open-source. Whenever anybody tries to claim that a non-commercial licenses is open-source, it always gets complaints that it is not open-source. This particular word hasn’t been watered down by misuse like so many others. There is no commonly-accepted definition of open-source that allows commercial restrictions. You do not get to make up your own meaning for word…

Where are you getting this compendium of commonly-accepted definitions?

Looking up open-source in the dictionary does include definitions that would allow for commercial restrictions, depending on how you define "free" (a matter that is most certainly up for debate).

but can it recreate the spacejam 1996 website? https://www.spacejam.com/1996/jam.html

That is not a meaningful metric given that we don't live in 1996 and neither do our web standards.

In what year was it meaningful to have pelicans riding bicycles?

> imo this is a hill people need to stop dying on. As someone who was born and raised on FOSS, and still mostly employed to work on FOSS, I disagree. Open source is what it is today because it's built by people with a spine who stand tall for their ideals even if it means less money, less industry recognition, lots of unglorious work and lots of other negatives. It's not purist to believe that what built open source…

You should stand up for your ideals, but dying on the hill of what you call your ideals is actually getting in the way of that. Because instead of making the point "this license isn't as permissive as it could/should be" (easy to understand), instead the point being made is "this isn't real open source", which comes across to most people as just some weird gate-keeping / No True Scotsman kinda thing.

no, “No True Scotsman” is just about people not categories like open source

The parent comment is a reference to a different story that was on the HN home page yesterday where someone attempted that with Claude.

Good job missing the point.

Though given the stance you are taking in this conversation, I'm not surprised you want to quibble over that.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> run locally for agentic coding. Nowadays I mostly use GPT-OSS-120b for this What kind of hardware do you have to be able to run a performant GPT-OSS-120b locally?

The model is 64GB (int4 native), add 20GB or so for context.

There are many platforms out there that can run it decently.

AMD strix halo, Mac platforms. Two (or three without extra ram) of the new AMD AI Pro R9700 (32GB of RAM, $1200), multi consumer gpu setups, etc.

Is it really an svg if it’s just embedded base64 of a jpg

You were seeing the base64 image tag output at the bottom. The SVG input is at the top.
