Neue Milliarden-Allianz: Microsoft nutzt künftig Teile der von Mistral ausgebauten europäischen Infrastruktur direkt mit, berichtet Luisa Bomke im Handelsblatt. Offiziell geht es um Europas KI-Souveränität, faktisch verankert sich der US-Konzern noch tiefer in europäischen Behörden und Unternehmen. Eine exakte Summe nennt bislang niemand.

An additional bonus is young female family member saying "I didn't know it was that easy (I used mistral to help with some of it). Some of the boys in my class have occasionally written apps. But for different stuff". I wonder why in 2026 with all the access we have to coding help, programming and writing apps is *still* seen as boys stuff...
Interesting to see what assorted LLM tools think I am:

Fine-Tuning Large Language Models for Codebook-Guided Coding of Students' Mathematics Metaphor Responses
Liang Zhang, Stephen Hwang, Yue Ma, Jinfa Cai
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.10276 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.10276 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.10276
arXiv:2608.10276v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Student-generated metaphors about mathematics can reveal students' attitudes, beliefs, identities, and experiences, but human expert coding of these thematically and semantically complex open-ended responses is time-intensive and difficult to scale. This study examines whether LoRA-based supervised fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs) can improve their performance on codebook-guided coding tasks for student mathematics metaphors. We used a human-coded corpus of 2,265 Grade 6-8 responses to food- and animal-based metaphor prompts and instructed the LLMs to perform two coding tasks: valence-intensity coding to capture the direction and strength of students' affective orientations toward mathematics, and thematic coding to capture students' framings of mathematics as expressed through their metaphors. We compared two proprietary models, GPT-4o mini and GPT-5 mini, under prompt-only conditions with two open-weight models, DeepSeek-R1 1.5B and Mistral 7B, evaluated before and after fine-tuning. Results show that fine-tuning substantially improved the performance and run-to-run reliability of the open-weight models across both tasks relative to their base versions. The fine-tuned compact open-weight models became competitive with, and often outperformed, the proprietary prompt-only models. These findings suggest that compact open-weight LLMs can support scalable, locally controllable, and privacy-conscious AI-assisted measurement of students' metaphor responses in mathematics education.

Hey, here's another photo from our hike last sunday. as you see, it's was a little dry. Meanwhile we had some rain - finally.
The hike itself was really fine, we found a lot of blackberries and just had a good time. If you wan to read more about it, feel invited to read the blog

We expected rain (but no ⚡⛈️).
So we got our jackets, did our errands with our little bike trailer - and were lucky because it didn't even rain 💪
✅ Saved fuel again
✅ Physical activity
✅ Faster way to detach from work
✅ Saw a couple of cats
Totally recommended!
