Due to a shocking turn of events, @grapheneos.org is urgently searching for one or more senior developer(s).

Do you have extensive experience working with the AOSP? Passionate about cyber security? GrapheneOS might be the perfect flexible, fully-remote workplace for you. See grapheneos.org/hiring.
Brace,

Mistral might be dropping bombshell LLMs very soon. 3B, 8B, and one proprietary.

I know the Artificial Analysis Index can be inaccurate as hell

But boy, is that a hell of a beautiful sight.

YouTube is rage baiting everyone, yet again:

They finally introduced a selector on MOBILE WEB for the "Audio track" which allows you to get rid of the terrible auto-translation... BUT you can only use this for Shorts. Not for full videos. They don't have that option there.

How the fuck.

No app is as good at keeping you logged out as Bluesky.

My mailbox is bursting more and more with dozens of log in mails and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

Okay, so Android is "de jure open source" but de facto closed source right now??

Great job, Google 😮‍💨

Yesterday, I talked with a more or less influential Shiftphone employee on the IFA about their phone and future support for @grapheneos.org. They said the question isn't new - and that they'd happily work on supporting GrapheneOS. 1/5

Had my Pixel 7a get fixed yesterday, but now I'm totally out of the loop!

Did Android 16 QPR1 finally get released?? 😳 Can I expect a One UI clone in a few days?

My smartphone broke (Pixel 7a, fell on concrete) and there's nothing better than seeing GrapheneOS Attestation work more flawless than ever!

Give it a shot at attestation.app!

Nothing hits harder than setting the GrapheneOS auto reboot timer to 2 hours while the most sensitive thing on your phone are photos of your dog stealing a Burrito

How I feel telling my GrapheneOS duress PIN to my friend who just wanted to look something up on my phone (I'll have to reinstall everything)

Flux is COOKING man! (deliberately posting this before nano-banana releases)

Crazy!

GO, EU, GO 🔥

I am strongly, deeply and inexplicably concerned about the influx of people starting to have a real relationship with large language models, purely scientific concepts of probabilistic operations designed to predict the next most probable token in a sequence. 🧵 1/5

Met a friendly dude in IT who asked me if my phone on the desk was a Google Pixel.

"Yes", I said, "I put GrapheneOS on it!"

"Cool!", he pulled out his phone. "Mine is called a Fairphone. It's great. I put my custom ROM on it, but you can also install GrapheneOS on it!"

On a Fairphone? Mm-hmm.

Their "smaller" (20b a3.6b) model runs with less than 15 tok/s on my 4070 Ti.

Yeah I don't think it'll "run" on a phone.

Actually, this is a terrible take.
You know that you're deep in trouble when the amount of test cases you write is larger than the actual amount of code.
July 25, 2025 at 3:38 PM
Mistral ...

how's it going? Have you been cooking? It's been 2 months and the AI market has rarely been more competitive, so PLEASE act right NOW
Oh my gosh yesss, they are cooking

Calling GrapheneOS an "Android build" is the understatement of the year.

I just found out something mind-blowing about Voxtral, the new European voice processing LLM by Mistral AI:

Not only does it transcribe your voice with impressive accuracy, it also CORRECTS GRAMMATICAL ERRORS WHILE YOU SPEAK!!

How fricking cool is that??

These cliffhangers make me go crazy, just enough tension to keep us tuning in for the next post, hoping that the ominous OEM is revealed, but NOO 😭

I find it funny how people are like "EU is bad at AI" when there's literally Flux Kontext Max which is faster and better than GPT-image-1, gemini-2.0-flash-image, ideogram etc., there's Mistral Medium which has incredibly price to performance in coding,
