The path of the Mistral 7B is nice to see!
The OG one topped open models of that size. For the first time, a local model felt usable on consumer hardware.
Not only is the latest Ministral 8B on the Pareto frontier for knowledge vs. cost (and for search, math, agentic uses)…

DeepSeek released V3.2 (and V3.2 Speciale, a math-oriented model).
New model, new benchmarks!
The biggest jump for DeepSeek V3.2 is on agentic coding, where it seems poised to erase a lot of models on the Pareto frontier, including Sonnet 4.5, Minimax M2, and K2 Thinking.

Why?
Company C1 releases model M1 and discloses benchmarks B1.
Company C2 releases M2, showing off benchmarks B2 which are distinct.
Comparing those models is hard since they don't share benchmarks!

Am I using the Gemini APIs wrong? I keep getting 429's. The key was fresh from aistudio.google.com.

Our latest open-source speech-to-text model just claimed 1st place among streaming models and 5th place overall on the OpenASR leaderboard 🥇🎙️
While all other models need the whole audio, ours delivers top-tier accuracy on streaming content.
Open, fast, and ready for production!

Isn’t there a better way to handle screens than asking a *language model* to guess the number of pixels to the left and top of a UI widget?

Generally, giving users the ability to send reliable signals beats extracting signals from their background noise.

We can get GNSS spacial positioning all the way to the moon, given the right receiver!
Greatly simplifies space travel.
I still believe we should set up a separate GNSS on every planet.

LLMs get better at tool use and search.
Model memorization is thus less useful than reasoning.
Yet a lot of benchmarks still focus on the former.

Surprisingly, bigger Llama 3 models are worse at learning from relevant context, and giving a good answer, than smaller ones.
Unsurprisingly, base models evaluate the probability of a good answer better than instruct models, which will give a low probability to speech that doesn't match their style

We just released Hibiki 🟢, a real time speech-to-speech translation 🇫🇷 -> 🇬🇧. It preserves the voice of the user, and the smaller variant can run on iPhone as showed by Neil in this video.
Find the code on github github.com/kyutai-labs/... and the weights on HF and give it a spin!
