Is Europe back?
Can’t wait to test Le Chonk
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.

Asking Astra to port my 500k LoC TypeScript game to Rust.
First time Astra gave me performance measurements in MICROseconds instead of MILLIseconds

They exist. They are called video games.
It’s good for coordination, mental calculus, reflexes, social interactions, imagination and overall it’s a pleasant experience.
We created gyms because modern day work no longer required physical activity. Without exercise, our muscles atrophy.
I predict we’ll need gyms for our brains too, once AI starts doing our knowledge work.

Having an always-on Mac Mini M6 at home on tailscale has been a game changer.
50% of my AI work is done on my phone.
And we are talking game dev
I don’t even need dots? My codex has access to the Mac so it can do just about anything.

Every developer needs an AI shed: An always-on machine running on their tailscale network where the majority of their herdr agents are running.
I see French high school students complaining about studying from 9 to 6.
When I was in high school I studied from 9 to 6 then worked in a pizzeria from 6.30 to 11.30
Every day for 2 years.
Served more than 20000 pizzas

Pretty straightforward?
OpenAI model names aren't that confusing, you just need to know we started with GPT-1, 2 and 3, then 3.5, then 3.5 Turbo, then GPT-4, then GPT-4 Turbo, then GPT-4o where the o means omni, except it didn't really end up being omni, then GPT-4o mini
Then we switch to the o series, where the o now means OpenAI instead of omni, starting with o1-preview and o1-mini, then o1 drops the preview, then we skip o2 and they announce o3 and o3-mini, but o3-mini gets released first, meanwhile GPT-4.5 comes out and THEN GPT-4.1 because why not, alongside GPT-4.1 mini and nano, then o3 finally arrives with o4-mini even though there's no regular o4
Then we're back to GPT with GPT-5, mini and nano, followed by 5.1, 5.2 and 5.2-Codex, then 5.3-Codex, and yes there's also GPT-5.3 but ONLY Instant, no Thinking or Pro, then 5.4 brings the coding capabilities into the main model so we drop the Codex suffix, but hey mini and nano are back, then 5.5, then 5.6 where the names are now Sol, Terra and Luna
Then GPT-6 arrives but only Astra at first, followed by Sol and Luna, no GPT-6 Terra this time, and exactly a week after GPT-6 Sol we get GPT-6.1 Sol with near-Astra performance at a much lower cost
And that's just the quick version, wasn't that hard was it?

The statue of Prometheus is finally finished.
It was cast in Paris, crossed the Atlantic, and was assembled at Starbase. It took us 100 days to go from nothing to this.
People of the West, we have lived through an era devoid of dreams, devoid of destiny.
But the time has come to reclaim our dream of antiquity.
In a few months, we will start building a new city. It will be the most magnificent city in all of history.
After all, the great dream of the West has always been to rebuild Rome.
Come walk beside us in this endeavor. The world is waiting.

For EU people. What's the best way to get Dots? VPN?
Have been using Sol 6.1 Max for 3D ThreeJS and it’s the best hands down. Especially at that price.
The only hiccups is that sometimes it will do something weird/unexpected
@OpenAI Sol 5.1 is State of the Art an dthe beat model so far at threejs... Beating opus 5.5 high and costing 10 times less.
It has only received few votes yet so it might not hold for long!
Check it out at and don't forget to go vote!

As openAI. Here is how I would have communicated.
“We are about to announce a new model, near Astra performance at 1/10th the price and 3 times faster.
Because of this, usage across the board will increase dramatically for all. We’ll use this as an opportunity to bring the Pro 200 at 10x instead of 20x (with current users grand fathered for 3 months).
We need to do this for 3 reasons
- Be more fair with Plus 20 (x1) and Pro 100 (x5) users
- Make it more economically sustainable for us
- Allow us to introduce a Pro 500 (x25) plan for the many users who want more today
Again, we want, with Sol 6.1 that the Pro 200 (x10) of tomorrow feels way more usage than the Pro 200 (x20) of today.”

After using 6.1 Sol for a while, I can confidently say it's not a Sol model, it's an Astra model.
I think this is Astra-minor.
It would explain why it's released 7 days after Sol 6.0 and also why it's SO good for the price.

GPT 6.1 Sol is a great model.
So far, as good as Astra at 1/5th the price.
Still below Opus 5.5 xhigh but great as a daily driver in Codex I think.
Let’s see tomorrow with a full day of usage.
