The Voxtral release seemed interesting, because it brought back competitive open source audio transcription. I wonder if it was necessary to have an LLM backbone (vs a pure-function model) though, but the approach is interesting.

> brought back competitive open source audio transcription Bear in mind that there are a lot of very strong _open_ STT models that Mistral's press-release didn't bother to compare to, making impression they are the best new open thing since Whisper. Here is an open benchmark: https://huggingface.co/spaces/hf-audio/open_asr_leaderboard . The strongest model Mistral compared to is Scribe, ranked 10 here. This benchmark…

I think they've buried the lede with their image editing capabilities, which seem to be very good! OpenAI's model will change the whole image while editing messing up details in unrelated areas. This seems to perfectly preserve parts of the image unrelated to your query and selectively apply the edits, which is very impressive! The only downside is the output resolution (the resulting image is 1184px wide even though…

It messed up the titles of the books.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This might be good short term advice, but in the medium and long term I think devs who don't use any AI will start to be much slower at delivery than devs who do. I'm alreay seeing it IRL (and I'm not a fan of AI coding, so this sucks for me)

Slower in initial delivery maybe, but the maintenance and debugging of production applications requires intimate knowledge of the code base usually. The amount of code AI writes will require AI itself to manage it since no human would inundate themselves with that much code. Will it be faster even so? We simply won’t know because those vibe coded apps have just entered production. The horror stories can’t be written…

Actually Le Chat is french for the (male) cat. Also 'Le Chat' is a well known laundry detergent (of german origin - Henkel company). The headline 'Le Chat takes a deep dive' means 'the cat takes a deep dive'. As there is a cooperation with (german) Black Forest Labs, this is all pretty funny for a french speaking person. 'La Chatte' is the female cat. And also colloquial for female private parts.
