Hurricane Rachel could bring significant impacts to SoCal Sunday into Monday, including coastal flooding from high tides and surf, potentially heavy rain and gusty winds as it transitions into a post-tropical storm.

This is a highly unpredictable forecast, so expect changes.

Meet Mistral Large 4, aka Le Chonk.

• 1T parameters, natively multimodal. 49B active.
It is the best open weights model from US or Europe on aggregated benchmarks.
• State-of-the-art on critical workloads, including cyber defense, manufacturing and finance and it surpasses closed frontier models on visual grounding.
• Forged in Europe end-to-end and is deployable from Europe via our own Mistral Cloud infrastructure.
• Available to all via API today. Working with cybersecurity partners privately.

Open weights release end of October.

This is why GPUs cost $6,000

We just reset Forge tokens for every Bolt user.

GLM, DeepSeek and Kimi are waiting in your model picker.

Go build something 🛠️

If Google releases a coding model that outperforms opus/codex

I don’t think people are pricing in what that would mean

Jev is very good

Needs 1m context and multimodal tho, 32k context and no images is v limiting

Today, Bolt acquired Dokai.

Two teams, one belief: natural language can build and run software.

Welcome to Bolt, Dokai.

i think jev can bring down our ai spend by 50-60%

need more testing but classification for most companies is a massive use case, and llms are still pretty expensive/slow if you need hundreds of millions of assets analyzed

can imagine all other labs making similar models

but this concept can serieusly start eating into everyone's ai spend

11M+ people build on Bolt. On Monday, we gave them open models with up to 50x usage.

Which is #1 so far? The fastest, cheapest one, with prompts up to 2x the size.

🥇 GLM 5.3 Flash 54%
🥈 DeepSeek V4 Pro 17%
🥉 GLM 5.3 15%
👏 Kimi K3 14%

bolt.new/lite

An unreleased Astra-family model added this to its persona during RL training.

The Forge gates are open. You all came running 🏃

We’re opening up access as fast as we can, with another wave coming soon.

Or skip the wait entirely. Forge is live on all Pro plans.

I used AI to explain the AI pacing drama, with fruit.

JUST IN: Anthropic says they’re highly profitable if you take out some of their biggest expenses.
