Meet Mistral Large 4, aka Le Chonk.
• 1T parameters, natively multimodal. 49B active.
It is the best open weights model from US or Europe on aggregated benchmarks.
• State-of-the-art on critical workloads, including cyber defense, manufacturing and finance and it surpasses closed frontier models on visual grounding.
• Forged in Europe end-to-end and is deployable from Europe via our own Mistral Cloud infrastructure.
• Available to all via API today. Working with cybersecurity partners privately.
Open weights release end of October.

🗳 I was curious to see whether there might be a correlation between town ratings in France and the political affiliation of their mayor. I wrote a couple of scripts to help explore the data! github.com/PyvesB/elections-…
How can you make complex profiling data easier to understand? By using intuitive visualisations! Discover the work my colleague Greg Hurrell and I have done on this topic in our latest blog.
Profiling data, while invaluable, can be hard for novices to interpret. To address this problem and make it easy to gain insights into application performance, we’ve made some exciting changes to our Continuous Profiler visualizations. Learn more: dtdg.co/profiling-visualizat…
Some insights into how my team has been making profiling visualisations more user-friendly at @datadoghq!
My colleague @_Pyves just published a blog post about the source code preview features of our continuous profiler 🎉.
One cool UX detail is how we show source code in the default view where we group by function rather than by line.
Some exciting new Shields.io badges are available to get the state of check runs on GitHub branches, commits, and tags! Thanks to @marcfbe for his contribution! 🙏

A new @datadoghq feature my team and I have worked on has officially gone live (public beta) now:
Watchdog Insights for Continuous Profiler 🎉
The idea is to automate some of the problem analysis and solution proposal a profiling expert on your team might provide.

17 years of software development taught me three very important lessons;
1️⃣ Unit and integration tests are the best way to prevent bugs.
2️⃣ Keep it simple! Remove anything that's not strictly required.
3️⃣ Question everything! From requirements to cargo cult tech trends.

During the 2018 World Cup quarter final our systems streaming the match became overwhelmed, leading to a major outage. How did we scale our live streaming architecture to stream the Euro 2020 final online to a new record of 7.1 million viewers?

Today I published a (long-overdue!) collection of status badge-related resources which I've collected over four years working on @Shields_io. Any great additions I should consider? github.com/badges/awesome-ba…
The new graduate engineer in my team does not have much programming experience. What would be your top picks of online resources or books that would help improve their Java and Python skills?

VideoLAN is 20 years old today!
In fact, 20 years ago today, VideoLAN moved from a closed-source student app to the GNU GPL, thanks to the authorization of the @centralesupelec director of that time.
VLC has grown a lot since, thanks to 1000 volunteers!

Was wondering why my computer was being a bit slow this evening. Here's an extract from my Windows task manager. The list goes on and on. What's up @MicrosoftEdge ?🧐

Thanks to all the heroes making this release happen! 🙏
I don't get @British_Airways. They now distribute free food and drinks to everyone on short-haul flights. They didn't do that before the pandemic. Not only is it an expense they could do without, but it makes people take off their masks during the flight. Doesn't seem logical 🤔
