It's also a good play to try to take resources away from local, self-hosted "Feasible AI" solutions. With compute resources, I think Microsoft hopes Mistral skews their focus and resources towards large models that can run o

This was essentially already in the cards as a possible outcome when Microsoft made it's big investment in OpenAI, so in my view it was a reasonable outcome at this juncture as well. For Microsoft, it's just Nokia in reverse. If y

I'm not sure how much facebook paid Fridman for this podcast but whatever it was, whether it was 0 or 10 million, it's probably the best value for money PR they've done in the last decade...or ever?
