Mistral AI Releases Forge
Today, we’re introducing Forge, a system for enterprises to build frontier-grade AI models grounded in their proprietary knowledge.

Warranty Void If Regenerated
Tom Hartmann had not planned to become a Software Mechanic. But then, nobody who was a Software Mechanic had planned to become one, because the job hadn’t existed seven years ago, and the people doing it had all been something else first.

It’s a deceptively simple-looking finish line: the end of a roughly 300-mile (or […]
