Now I'm wondering if there is any serious EU competition to Anthropic? - Mistral's codestral perhaps?
Because this kind of performance changes everything and we can't afford to lag behind...

oof three people just spent two hours finding affordable accommodation near the conference site (~ adhering to the university guidelines). I wonder how much *that* cost #academicChatter
A small group of people gather at 6pm every evening in Ravenna, to hear a canto of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy.
That is immortality.

Sometimes I miss the old Twitter, where I was connected not only with all of you lovely people, but also dozens/hundreds of my colleagues... we even used to have real discussions about work there, once upon a time #academicChatter
