Devstral: Fine-tuning Language Models for Coding Agent Applications
We introduce Devstral-Small, a lightweight open source model for code agents with the best performance among models below 100B size. In this technical report, we give an overview of how we design and develop a model and craft specializations in agentic software development. The resulting model, Devstral-Small is a small 24B model, fast and easy to serve. Despite its size, Devstral-Small still attains competitive performance compared to models more than an order of magnitude larger.

Just finished “For All Mankind” season 3 and consider it the weakest season yet. With the exception of a couple episodes, it felt like a weird soap opera. Even the sciencey bits of the show seemed to gloss over or deus ex machina challenges (or physics). Debating if I’m tapping out of yet another AppleTV sci-fi show.

what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.

I appreciate that replies are pointing out cookie banners are a form of malicious compliance by the adtech industry while also giving a history of Do Not Track headers and that the same industry killed them:
