Will it stay that way?

Mistral is ripping through a lot of releases lately. Large4, Timestral, now Voxtral3. Or is it just me being biased?

You're right. They were quiet for a long time and had promised new things "by the end of summer." They missed that window but have really been on a roll since they started up again.

They did raise $3B recently. I guess that buys a few different teams working in a few different directions.

I’ve been using mistral-large-3 a tremendous amount. Price/speed/quality ratio was the best I could find. Been using the mistral-large-4 now since it came out for a few things, and while it’s not price competitive for the quality, it is really good. I’ve replaced a lot of my browser-based-chat-ui-llm-usage with mistral since it launched.

This is such a pristine pelican. Let me say it here first folks, AGI is here.

> AGI is here

If AGI is "Attractions to Get Investments" then yes, it's happening

this is fun, I love initialisms :) let's see what five minutes of end-of-day brain can crank out:

Automated Grift Infrastructure

Absurdly Glorified Interpolation

Avoid Genuine Investigation

Always Great In-theory

I read Italianisms and I was very confuso.

Altri Grandi Italiani.

(My Italian is very limited).

Academic Grant Incinerator

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, would like to have a word with you.

Anthropic, Google, and Intel, surely.

One I saw recently was: Meta Anthropic NVIDIA Intel Palantir Uber LinkedIn Apple Tesla IBM OpenAI Netflix.

love how this kind of seems to shit on M$ by not including it, but instead LinkedIn, an acquisition of M$.

M$ is just an investment fund at this point.

Expedia came out of Microsoft a long time ago.

Anthropique, Google, IAOuverte (fr_FR)

ah! goofy Illuminati

Wait till someone jumps on to his chatbot and generates more ...

Artificicially Generatie Initials

Avian Generation Infrastructure

Pelican benchmark is saturated, anyway. :-)

Avian Graphics Intelligence achieved!

What! It may look pretty but the bike is rather funky!

The illusion of AGI is here!

we had uncanny valley for ai generated images. we past it. now we in uncanny valley of intelligence. wonder how big it is...

Nah, its beak is still too small to hold a capybara.

This is only AGI, not Super Intelligence. What more can you ask for?

The two pelicans generated by the two reasoning modes are so similar, it highly suggests that the bird was deliberately fitted. We would need to see the results for other animals doing other activities, which are not part of a well-known benchmark.

Someone actually tried this and found no evidence of pelicanmaxxing.

This must be a joke, clearly pelican drawing in svg would be in its training data after multiple years of it hitting HN front page.

... and yet...

The bicycle is like a razor blade, the pelican's legs are falling off...

I wonder when will we see a photorealistic pelican on a bicycle in SVG format.

I don't believe that SVG could encode a photorealistic scene. It would wind up with deep XML for every pixel.

oh no that sounds really "fake". nasty word. we are calling it "super intelligence" now. much better.

don't know about AGI, but humor is gone.

> humor is gone

Far from it. This shows a strong ability to miss a joke known to be frequently used as a humor test. This isn't a measure of thought.

Pretty sure the parent comment was sarcasm.

> was sarcasm

Far from it. This is an example of Poe’s law, a very frequent occurrence on the internet. This isn’t a clear example of sarcasm any more than the pelican is a clear example of AGI!

I guess I thought the sarcasm was obvious because I can't imagine a serious person looking at that pelican and considering it proof of AGI. But you're right, this is the internet, anything is possible.

On the internet, no one knows you're a pelican yourself ;-)

I agree, it wasn't clear at all to me... until I clicked the links.

Now it's clear to me.

Surely we live in the AGI times that were prophesied.

Was this a sarcastic comment?

You just failed the Turing test for sarcasm. I can't ask you how it feels because that would require subjectivity.

Bob Dylan can.

It feels like a rolling stone

for whichever weird wiring my brain rhymed this with "Campbell Soup can"

and then stumbled over "like rolling stone? huh?"

I am all for the /s marker.

Downvoting to hell first degree interpretation is a bit punishing for people who do not have a radar for sarcasm.

This made me giggle! Thanks.
