Antoine Emond 🇫🇷 🇸🇪 @aemond.wsocial.eu · 06/10/2026Le Chonk is here 🐱 Mistral's Large 4 is a 1 trillion parameter model trained in its own European data centres, with open weights coming on 27 October. Looking at the benchmarks, it's up there with the best open models. It even does a bit better than GPT-6 Astra on some aspects. Bien joué, Mistral ! 1133 13

Antoine Emond 🇫🇷 🇸🇪 @aemond.wsocial.eu · 20/08/2026Everyone is quoting the same number from the new Steam revenue report: the median game earns $3,631 in its lifetime. Grim, sure. But the figure that actually stopped me sits further down the page. Steam's Gini coefficient is 0.984. 121 2
