Europa wird kein zweites OpenAI hervorbringen – aber das muss es nicht. Anne-Sophie Lang, Vivien Serve und Jakob von Lindern in der ZEIT: Die eigentliche Chance liegt in Anwendungen für Industrie, Mittelstand und Gesundheitswesen. Wer Wertschöpfung in Europa hält und den industriellen Datenschatz hebt, kann noch gewinnen. „Zu spät ist es noch lange nicht." #KI
I have a similar cognitive response in these two different scenarios: reading the sciencey page at the dispensary that shows how awesome this strain is.
And reading the sciencey page about LLMs like the one below.
I read them with the full intention of understand said science. Then I get a few sentences in, and what looks like made up words start appearing. A few paragraphs in and I'm not sure it's English anymore.
But, hey they have graphs. And their dots are th…

Mistral und Harvey AI: Den Rechtssektor im Visier

Leanstral 1.5: Mistrals KI-Modell für formale Beweise ist Open Source
Mistral heißt jetzt Vibe — und das ist mehr als Rebranding. Jörg Schieb beschreibt, wie der französische KI-Anbieter mit Skills, Konnektoren und MCP-Anbindung den Schritt zum echten KI-Agenten vollzieht. Sein Fazit: Europa hat erstmals eine ernstzunehmende agentische KI-Plattform, die nicht aus dem Silicon Valley kommt. Für digitale Souveränität ein echtes Argument. #KI
#Mistral is baking agentic search and retrieval right into the model #MistralMedium, which should improve its usefulness for agentic harnesses.

Habe heute entdeckt, dass in der Fakultät ein bisher ungenutzter Server mit 2x NVIDIA V100 32GB stand. Und nach einem Treiberupdate lief darauf auch das #leanstral Modell mit vernünftiger Geschwindigkeit.
Habe jetzt die 4-Bit Quantisierung genommen und dann passt es mehr oder weniger in den VRAM. Die Kiste hat 1TB normalen RAM, also kein Problem hier.
Bin gespannt, was das kann!
