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! 🙏

Well, @dbenamy recently shared a picture of a croissant stuffed with Oreos, and claimed he had invented pains au chocolat. Not sure which is worse.

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.
One problem is that we're mixing monochrome/flat-style icons, with more stylised/layered ones. The inconsistency looks somewhat weird.
They reached out to plugin owners a few weeks ago to gather feedback and ideas on a revamped marketplace. They're definitely thinking about it.
Escargots are good, would definitely recommend trying them! Hit me up next time you're in Paris, I'll send a couple of addresses your way!
@PrismaMedia je viens d'appeler votre service client pour un soucis de livraison d'un magazine. Votre collaborateur était au top, aimable, efficace et très professionnel. Peut-on faire remonter mon retour jusqu'aux personnes concernées ? :)
I intentionally didn't mention the project to avoid public shaming, but no, it isn't Eclipse. I've not actually contributed anything to the main IDE projects for quite a while, though I have worked on lsp4e and a few third-party plugins.
Sometimes you do all the right things as a contributor, namely create and engage on an issue, get asked to submit a PR, address all review comments, and yet still finally get told maintainers have changed their mind. This has happened to me recently, feels like hours were wasted.

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.
