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

Gemini 3 Flash (Fast mode) is literally just a reasoning model that pretends like it's not and any comparison between instruct models is inherently unfair. Even minimal reasoning is still reasoning and you can clearly feel the difference in the response quality my opinion.

Graphene Is All You Need.
We've built our own text-to-speech system with an initial English language model we trained ourselves with fully open source data. It will be added to our App Store soon and then included in GrapheneOS as a default enabled TTS backend once some more improvements are made to it.

I'm slightly disappointed in Mistral Large 3 being solely based on a recycled Deepseek architecture with minor changes.
Mistral has a lot of potential, and while trying out custom architectures is risky for smaller ML startups, it's the only way to remain independent in the long term.

I can't help but think that Gemini 3 Flash has been even more benchmaxxed than other models...
Besides that, they waited way too with publishing Gemini 3. The models are only barely SOTA a few weeks after their initial release. What was the point of all that?!

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

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.

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

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!

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

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.
