Mirror Particle will launch at TechCrunch Disrupt's Startup Battlefield 200 with a world model built from scratch to predict human behavior, arguing that LLM role-play falls short for market research and brand strategy.

With AI hardware, tech companies are pushing the definition of what does and doesn't constitute a recording. For most of gadget history, it'd be reasonable to assume that a device with a microphone or camera is either recording you or it isn't; it's either on or off, without much gray area. Microphones capture sound. Cameras […]

French AI lab Mistral AI has released Mistral Large 4, a new large multimodal model aiming to leapfrog both American and Chinese rivals.

Mistral's Large 4 is the company's biggest model yet, with one trillion parameters trained on its own European infrastructure. In the independent Intelligence Index, the model makes a big leap forward but still falls well short of Claude, GPT-6, and Chinese competitors. Mistral's main pitch is cybersecurity work that closed US models refuse to do.
