Access to Mistral’s API Just under a week ago, Mistral announced that they would provide an API as a service just like OpenAI and other big names in the world of artificial intelligence. I didn’t hesitate for a minute to sign up for the waiting list and today, I have finally gained access.
Onboarding Process The onboarding process is very straightforward. Mistral asks for your tax information and uses Stripe as a payment gateway.
December, the month where we reflect on what we have done during the year, review our achieved goals (or not), and prepare a new list of resolutions for the coming year. Recently, after reading “Atomic Habits”, I decided that I wanted to recover the habit of writing daily. Sometimes just a micropost that would almost fit in a tweet, but always something.
Remembering my beginnings on Wordpress This, however, is not the first blog/site on which I write.
Mistral, a startup based in Paris, has become a European alternative to ChatGPT. The company recently raised a funding round of 500 million euros, elevating it to unicorn status.
About Mistral Mistral has focused on developing artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, and their flagship product is the latest generation language model they have recently launched. You can learn more about Mistral on their official page.
Mistral’s Model The same day that Google introduced us to its Gemini model, or rather a doctored video of it, the Mistral team released their new model via BitTorrent.
Introduction I will always remember a maxim in cryptography: the key is the key, not the algorithm. There’s nothing more secure than releasing the algorithm so that everyone can analyze it and work on its improvements. Under this premise, TKey is introduced as the first 100% open source security key. A revolutionary product created by Tillitis that embodies total freedom in security: hardware, firmware, and software that are completely open and modifiable.
After an intense week of debate, there is now an agreement on the first Artificial Intelligence regulation in the European Union. This agreement is in the final stages of preparation, awaiting its passage through the European Parliament and Council.
This law has been in the making since 2021 and in its initial conception, it focused mainly on the risks and problems that video facial analysis and recognition in public spaces can pose.
Today I want to talk to you about a book that I have recently started reading: Exponential Organizations Exo 2.0. This book has been written by Salim Ismail, Michael S. Malone, and Yuri van Geest. It comes highly recommended to me alongside another title, Abundance, written by Peter H. Diamandis and Steven Kotler.
These books deal with business models with exponential growth and how technology is changing the way we live and work.
Apple-like Presentation This time Google has done a very good job with marketing. The landing page is very reminiscent of the apple company, and the examples… I don’t know, they seem “fake”. It reminds me of the typical cinematic videos of AAA video games… then the gameplay is something else.
Interest in the Nano Model Not much is known about the nano model, but they say it could be capable of summarizing a meeting or even replying to WhatsApp for you.
Betabeers Granada was a monthly event held, preferably on Thursdays, where developers, designers, and entrepreneurs would gather to talk about technology and trends while enjoying some beers.
The origins of Betabeers Betabeers was founded by Pablo and Miquel, both developers. One day, back in 2009, they noticed the absence of an event where developers could share their experience and network. That’s how Betabeers was born.
Betabeers Granada I discovered Betabeers shortly after it began, while I was working in Madrid.
The era of Augmented Posts has arrived. This new trend is not about replacing writers with artificial intelligence, but rather using generative AI to assist and complement the work of writers and communicators.
Generative AI is a subfield of artificial intelligence that focuses on creating something new. But in this case, we’re not talking about generating content from scratch, but about using these tools to improve and enrich existing content.
Sedentariness is one of the major evils of our current society. In an increasingly technological and digitalized world, many jobs require spending long hours sitting in front of a computer. This can lead to serious long-term health problems, such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and back problems. Therefore, it is essential to incorporate physical activity into our lives, especially for those with a sedentary job.
Engaging in sports regularly can effectively counteract the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle.
