Analysis: Mistral's flagship architecture traces to DeepSeek, and it now resells Chinese models
An analysis argues Mistral's Large 3 architecture closely mirrors DeepSeek V3, and that Mistral now hosts Zai's GLM 5.2 unmodified as a featured model — a shift toward reselling Chinese-designed models.
Dan's takeMistral is underrated

An unverified secondhand account describes a new Anthropic engineer saying internal AI tools monitor his activity, surface discussions he could join, and suggest what he should say in them.
Dan's takeI can see why the surveillance but the AI suggesting the employee what to do/say is insane and frankly, unsurprising.
