> > > The new Devstral Small 1.1 is released under the Apache 2.0 license, and is state-of-the-art amongst open models for code agents. Devstral Medium is available through our API, and sets a new point on the cost/performance pareto frontier, surpassing Gemini 2.5 Pro and GPT 4.1 for a quarter of the price. > >

We’re excited to share this roadmap — there’s a lot happening with the ActivityPub plugin, and we can’t wait to show you what’s coming next.

> > > Today, we’re excited to announce our latest contribution to AI research with Magistral — our first reasoning model. Released in both open and enterprise versions, Magistral is designed to think things through — in ways familiar to us — while bringing expertise across professional domains, transparent reasoning that you can follow and verify, along with deep multilingual flexibility. > >

> > > We’re releasing the model in two variants: Magistral Small — a 24B parameter open-source version and Magistral Medium — a more powerful, enterprise version. > >

> > > Bonfire's mission is to build social software where people get to make the decisions, not big tech platform makers like Meta or Google. > >

> > > Bonfire Social, a new framework for building communities on the open social web, launched on Thursday during the FediForum online conference. While Bonfire Social is a federated app, meaning it’s powered by the same underlying protocol as Mastodon (ActivityPub), it’s designed to be more modular and more customizable. That means communities on Bonfire have more control over how the app functions, which features and defaults are in place, and what their own roadmap and priorities will include. > >

> > > Bonfire Social, now offered as a 1.0 Release Candidate ahead of the public release, is just one representation of what Bonfire offers. Bonfire calls it a “flavor.” > >

> > > Each flavor is a preconfigured bundle of Bonfire extensions, features, and defaults, sort of like a starting template. When a community opts to run a particular “flavor,” it gets to govern the app as it sees fit, adding its own extensions and determining its own roadmap for product changes. This puts the social software back under users’ control, instead of being subject to the whims of a platform maker with an ever-changing feature sets and algorithms > >

Bonfire is part of the Fediverse, so it's nice to see it launch getting coverage

> > > French AI startup Mistral is releasing its own 'vibe coding' client, Mistral Code, to compete with incumbents like Windsurf, Anysphere's Cursor, and GitHub Copilot. > >

Sadly it's only for enterprises, I would use it

I'm asking both mods and other users, with lemm.ee planning to shut down soon, what instance do you all think this community should move to? Except the .ml version the only ones I see are !bluesky@forum.wedistribute.org (NodeBB community) and community for bluesky posts !peoplebluesky@lemmy.world . So probably a new one will need to be created?

Does anyone know where it starts and is it even known in advance? There's a few games I want to buy, and I am unsure if it's worth waiting for the sale or not

And today, we are excited to announce Mistral Medium 3, pushing efficiency and usability of language models even further. > >

Doesn't seem to be open-weight tho :(

> > > 'On Thursday, Ai2, the nonprofit AI research institute, released Olmo 2 1B, a 1-billion-parameter model that Ai2 claims beats similarly-sized models from Google, Meta, and Alibaba on several benchmarks.

We're happy to announce the release of NodeBB v4.3.0, which contains native support for remote categories, bringing better integration with other NodeBB forums, WordPress, Lemmy, PieFed, mbin, and other "group-based" implementors on the ActivityPub network!
