Mistral Medium 3 delivers state-of-the-art performance at 8X lower cost with radically simplified enterprise deployments.

At Mistral AI, we are continuously pushing the frontier for both open models (Mistral Small, Mistral Large, Pixtral, many others) as well as enterprise models (Mistral OCR, Mistral Saba, Ministral 3B / 8B, and more). All the way from Mistral 7B, our models have consistently demonstrated performance of significantly higher-weight and more expensive models. And today, we are excited to announce Mistral Medium 3, pushing efficiency and usability of language models even further.

Doesn't seem to be open-weight tho :(

'On Thursday, Ai2, the nonprofit AI research institute, released Olmo 2 1B, a 1-billion-parameter model that Ai2 claims beats similarly-sized models from Google, Meta, and Alibaba on several benchmarks. Parameters, sometimes referred to as weights, are the internal components of a model that guide its behavior.

Olmo 2 1B is available under a permissive Apache 2.0 license on the AI dev platform Hugging Face. Unlike most models, Olmo 2 1B can be replicated from scratch; Ai2 has provided the code and data sets (Olmo-mix-1124, Dolmino-mix-1124) used to develop it.

he F-Droid app was created in 2009 in the early days of Android and lots of its code is still that old. While the ecosystem has seen many drastic shifts, the F-Droid community heroically kept the app alive with band aids and chewing gum.

Therefore, we are especially thrilled to announce that the Mobifree programme of the Next Generation Internet initiative agreed to fund this monumental effort. With their support, we aim to modernize the F-Droid app with a focus on the user interface to make the app easier to use and more appealing especially for new users. At the same time, the modernization should make it easier and more attractive to contribute to the app while also making it easier for the maintainers to review and merge external contributions due to better test coverage and less code entanglement.

The rewrite will be exclusively in Kotlin and use Compose for the UI while using modern architectural patterns that will make the app easier to maintain and more fun to contribute to. It will also allow for a responsive UI that adapts to the available screen size, be it a phone, a foldable, a tablet or even a desktop screen
