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.

Starting on October 9th, anyone using Google Gemini on a free plan will be limited to the Flash Lite model. Free users can currently choose from Gemini Flash Lite, Flash, and Pro, but now you'll need a $4.99/month Google AI Plus subscription to access the standard Flash model. However, that subscription is also getting a […]

Telecom operators are increasingly building their AI strategies on open models — and the reasons go beyond mere cost. Open models give telcos the ability to trust, control and customize AI across their most critical workloads — from autonomous networks to customer care. NVIDIA’s latest State of AI in Telecommunications report reflects this shift, with […]

South Korea wants to develop a homegrown frontier model through government-backed equity investments of 4.7 trillion won ($3.49 billion). The article South Korea bets $3.49 billion on building a homegrown frontier AI model to rival China's best appeared first on The Decoder .

The reports of OpenAI agents harming 3rd party sites keep coming.

Reflection has released Beam, its first open-weight model. The mixture-of-experts system activates just 23 billion of its 501 billion parameters per token and aims to match GLM 5.2 on coding and reasoning while using three to four times less compute. The strategy against Chinese open-weight rivals like Deepseek and Qwen is efficiency over raw performance. The article Reflection's Beam becomes the most capable open-weight model built outside China appeared first on The Decoder .

Researchers at PhAI Labs have expanded Yann LeCun's JEPA architecture to work across seven fields, from robotics to biomedicine. The effort also produced a liver cancer treatment candidate that showed promise in lab tests, though the study doesn't establish whether it could become an actual therapy. The article Researchers stretch LeCun's JEPA AI into a universal world model that works from physics to biology appeared first on The Decoder .

An unsettling Alexa Plus bug has seen some Amazon Echo smart home speakers reduced to saying - and sometimes singing - nothing but "lalala" on repeat for minutes at a time, often in the middle of conversations with users. When quizzed about the behavior, Alexa is apparently entirely unaware of what it's been doing. The […]

Deepseek is close to raising at least $12 billion in a new funding round, Bloomberg reports. The article CATL and Tencent back Deepseek's ballooning funding round as the AI startup eyes a 2027 IPO appeared first on The Decoder .

Cohere turned its enterprise platform into a control center for AI agents with North 2, handling multi-step workflows on their own and retaining context across sessions. The article Cohere pitches North 2 as the enterprise AI control room that works with any model appeared first on The Decoder .

A small win for US open source

The "old" version of Cowork runs model inference in the cloud, executing tool calls in an Anthropic-provided VM we shipped to your computer. We added the VM for capability, safety, and security reasons - mapping in just the data you explicitly added to your session. People loved what they were able to do with Claude but didn't love the disk, battery, and performance cost of running the VM locally. Also, people didn't love that closing your laptop means the work stops. The "new" version of Cowork runs model inference and the VM in the cloud. Each session gets its own sandbox, not sharing state with other sessions. When the VM needs something on the users' device (like a file), the desktop app is responsible for that file access tool call. [...] We think this solves a lot of problems we've heard about (like using Cowork from a phone, keeping work running, or getting all the same power without losing battery to the VM) — Felix Rieseberg , Anthropic, see also this help page Tags: claude-cowork , anthropic , claude , generative-ai , ai , general-agents , llms

GLM 5.3 from Z.ai is now available on Amazon Bedrock: a 753B-parameter mixture-of-experts model built for coding and long-horizon agentic tasks. Learn how to invoke it with the OpenAI-compatible APIs, cut cost and latency with prompt caching, and run an authorized security test with the open-source Strix agent.

Google may be expanding its "Call for Me" AI feature beyond business calls so you can use it to send messages to friends and family. Android Authority reports finding a "Gemini Calling" introductory screen in an APK teardown with examples that include "Call Mom and tell her I will be 15 minutes late" and "Call […]
