Mistral AI Releases Forge

I like Mistral, it hits the exact sweet spot between cost and my data staying in the EU, withouth a significant drop in quality, but man are their model naming conventions confusing af. They mention they have a model called Devstral 2, which is neither Codestral nor Devestral. I want to use it, but the api only lists devstral-2512, devstral-latest, devstral-medium-latest, devstral-medium-2507, devstral-small, devstral-small-2507.

I think, devstral-latest should be it, no? So I write to support and get an answer 12 hours later that says oh, no, devstral 2 is definetely called devstral 2 and then a page of instructions on how to set it up in Intellij... generated with AI. The screens it is refering to don't exist and never did.

by kioleanu

3/18/2026 at 10:28:46 AM

I got really lost on their site, but to help a bit according to their model page

devstral-2512 devstral-latest and devstral-medium-latest are all devstral 2 https://docs.mistral.ai/models/devstral-2-25-12

labs-devstral-small-2512 and devstral-small-latest are devstral small 2

devstral-medium-2507 is devstral 1.0

and devstral-small-2507 is devstral small 1.1

wow, thank you, this is great. I was thinking they should have a page like this, but I couldn't find myself.

by kioleanu

3/18/2026 at 9:57:39 AM

I have a general impression they are not interested too much in individual devs and making it suite their workflow. They want to be a B2B company and deliver a custom workflow per company.

Or it can just be a Google like problem where a big company one part doesn't talk to the other.

by newswasboring

3/18/2026 at 10:27:01 AM

But wouldn't winning devs be a neat helping point in winning b2b contacts? Or they think golf courts are enough for success? Okay they might be right here, but still they make it so confusing for no obvious reason.

by soco

3/18/2026 at 11:35:09 AM

In my experience devs rarely have anything to say in B2B contracts. At best they can recommend a solution to the decision maker, but in almost all deals i was a part of they didn’t have any influence on the final decision. I wish it were otherwise but alas

by MidnightRider39

3/18/2026 at 12:34:04 PM

> But wouldn't winning devs be a neat helping point in winning b2b contacts?

How? The largest providers that are trying to win devs are locked in a competition to get the devs to continue using the models for free!

The best way to win B2B contracts is to solve the problems that plague business, not those that plague devs. The devs are fickle, have no stickiness and will jump providers to the next free provider, to self-hosted, etc.

Selling to business using Mistral's approach is, I feel, just a good business plan.

"Giving away some credits for free, then making a loss on subscribers" is an absolutely terrible business plan.

by lelanthran

3/18/2026 at 10:41:34 AM

To me it's obvious because the size of companies they are targeting (ASML being an obvious one). I think golf course marketing works well in the EU context when decisions are being made not purely on tech reasons.

by newswasboring

3/18/2026 at 1:34:28 PM

> I think golf course marketing works well in the EU context when decisions are being made not purely on tech reasons.

It's not like b2b sales is more technical merit based, individual contributor led, elsewhere.

It's always the same, depending on the field individual contributors can have some flexibility on picking tools (so a developer in a mid sized company would be able to pick whatever, an accountant probably would be more constrained, meanwhile a developer at a big bank would not have any choice). But for strategic software choices, that impact the whole company, where standardisation makes sense or is even mandatory to get actual value out of it, you need to sell to high level decision makers, not individual contributors. A CTO or a VP of X can decide to buy and mandate the implementation of something as impactful, workflow changing and potentially time and money saving as a company wide AI platform. A dev can't.

Also EU protectionism itself might be enough.

by philipallstar

3/18/2026 at 12:45:23 PM

Where is EU protectionist?

I feel we are way less protectionist than most other Economic Regions. Including the USA, which are very protectionist but always claim otherwise

by hermanzegerman

3/18/2026 at 4:23:44 PM

Well different discussion, but look at the Mercosur agreement and all the opposition from farmers in the EU. They are extremely protectionist when it comes to agriculture, at least.

by brabel

3/18/2026 at 5:23:32 PM

Yes the farmers are a very vocal and powerful minority.

They get more than 50% of their income from subsidies, are quite well off, but always find a reason to complain.

I was thinking more about stuff like "Buy American"-Regulations for public tenders. Stuff like that doesn't exist here

by hermanzegerman

3/18/2026 at 6:20:02 PM

Well I can certainly understand them. Based on price tgey would not be able to compete and have half decent living wages so protectionism AND subsidies is a decent strategy to maintain local production which I feel allow a country / area to not lose a lever in international negociations.

by prmoustache

3/19/2026 at 6:11:48 PM

Yes it's great for the EU, but not so great for the Mercosur, is it? The EU wants them to buy products from the EU, but if the Mercosur acted the same way as the EU does with regards to agriculture, would mean they would also "protect" their industries from "unfair EU competition" and no deal can be made at all.

If you want to have commerce, you need to give some to get some. Without agriculture being included, the EU would just take and not give anything. It used to work in the colonial times, but one would hope that is behind us now.

by brabel

3/19/2026 at 4:08:15 PM

The quotas for these products in the trade deal would have been very limited, and the opportunities for our industry far greater.

It was a small vocal minority that avoided benefit for the majority

by hermanzegerman

3/18/2026 at 12:52:51 PM

Well, if every big company gets a giant EU fine for, say, preinstalling a web browser in an OS, except for EU companies, that could make it easier for the EU companies.

by philipallstar

3/18/2026 at 1:30:54 PM

Every company would get fined for anticompetitive behaviour, regardless of where are based.

by sofixa

3/18/2026 at 4:47:19 PM

Well yes, but because there are approximately zero EU tech companies that can be affected by these fines and regulations there is very little political pushback against them.

In a certain sense it’s a way for EU to clawback at least a small slice of all that money flowing to the US.

by wqaatwt

3/18/2026 at 6:03:52 PM

Why should there be pushback against antitrust measures?

It's what keeps markets alive

by hermanzegerman

3/19/2026 at 10:09:13 AM

Well, not necessarily; lots of things keep markets alive, including making it easier for people to start companies. But that aside, it's the selective enforcement of antitrust measures that's my point.

by philipallstar

3/20/2026 at 8:39:21 AM

> Well, not necessarily; lots of things keep markets alive, including making it easier for people to start companies

If those companies then got smothered or acquired by big oligo/mono polies, that only gets you so far.

> it's the selective enforcement of antitrust measures that's my point

What is selective about it? I linked in the sibling comment a fine for the biggest European digital ad company. And it's trivial to find the EU blocking anticompetitive behaviour or potential for it in every domain. Alstom and Siemens wanted to merge their train division to create a European champion in train manufacturing to better compete with Chinese companies, and they got denied. Because for the EU competition in Europe is more important than EU companies being able to compete globally (because the EU market is in their purview, global ones are not).

by sofixa

3/19/2026 at 4:08:53 PM

Where is the selective enforcement?

They also enforce antitrust in other sectors than big tech. You just don't read that much about it in the news

by hermanzegerman

3/18/2026 at 5:13:20 PM

Apparently you aren't aware of the EU's deep regulatory protectionism and subsidies at both EU and country level. A small portion is legitimately about protecting consumers, but ultimately this stuff is all designed by and for EU industry.

Basically all economic regions get highly protectionist when it comes to key areas like agriculture, banking, steel production, energy, automotive manufacturing, etc.

On tariffs, the US is now higher, but tariffs are a tax that passes through overwhelmingly onto the consumer (by like 95%+). Given there's essentially no fully domestic US manufacturing supply chains and the US imports everything, it's a defacto VAT from the perspective of the consumer. The EU has VAT levels that are still much higher than the average US tariff level, which is a essentially a dampener on consumption.

by pembrook

3/18/2026 at 5:20:49 PM

But the VAT applies to all goods regardless where they are produced. So that's not a protectionist measure

by hermanzegerman

3/18/2026 at 4:37:41 PM

Like American protectionism? Heck, America even prohibits its own companies to sell to the government if the president doesn't like them enough.

by victorbjorklund

3/18/2026 at 10:09:03 AM

you might be correct. for example, they have an intellij plugin that allows integration without the AI Assistant, but it is only available for Enterprise customers

by kioleanu

3/18/2026 at 9:32:42 AM

I had the same experience. It's even more confusing when you want to create an API key because they are separated by product, maybe?

by Manfred

3/18/2026 at 9:38:53 AM

no, the key is actually universal, you can't choose a specific product

by kioleanu

3/18/2026 at 11:15:57 AM

It depends. The key for their vibe-cli is actually different. You need to get a separate key if you have a subscription and don't want to pay API usage prices.

by lis

3/18/2026 at 12:43:54 PM

This is really why Mistral has any support.

The models are bottom barrel, but its the best Europe has...

Although you could use Chinese models on European servers.

by butILoveLife

3/18/2026 at 5:19:17 AM

Don't sleep on Mistral. Highly underrated as a general service LLM. Cheaper, too. Their emphasis on bespoke modelling over generalized megaliths will pay off. There are all kinds of specialized datasets and restricted access stores that can benefit from their approach. Especially in highly regulated EU.

Not everyone is obsessed with code generation. There is a whole world out there.

by ogou

3/18/2026 at 7:52:36 AM

I also think that this is the best approach for businesses wanting to adopt AI to automate, streamline, etc their business.

The problem they have is that this is not a moat - their approach is easily reproducible.

If they can pull ahead in having the most number of pre-trained models (one for this ERP, one for that CRM, etc) and then being able to close sales to companies using these products and sell them on post-trained (give us your specific ERP customisations and we'll give you access to a model that is tailored to your business), then THAT is a moat.

But they need to do this without fanfare. Just close sales, and keep closing, basically. After all, even if other AI providers copy the process, the moat would already have been established for Mistral.

by lelanthran

3/18/2026 at 9:41:39 AM

> The problem they have is that this is not a moat - their approach is easily reproducible.

My 2ct: Currently the moat may be that they are not US-American which is not reproducible by any of the US alternatives.

by Lapel2742

> My 2ct: Currently the moat may be that they are not US-American which is not reproducible by any of the US alternatives.

I hope you are right (I am in the process of finalising a product and one of the top-5 selling points contains "outside the jurisdiction of the US"), but in my experience, companies only pay lip service to ethics unless it hits their bottom line.

by lelanthran

3/18/2026 at 10:23:46 AM

> but in my experience, companies only pay lip service to ethics unless it hits their bottom line.

Sure, Mistral AI is certainly not the market leader and probably never will be but we're not talking about being a market leader but about having a moat.

I instantly believe you when you tell me that many companies do not care. On the other hand there are companies that do. At least partially: ASML, Stellantis, AXA, BNP Paribas, the French ministry of defense, Helsing, SNCF, ... are all Mistral AI customers.

by Lapel2742

3/18/2026 at 10:36:21 AM

Mistral is still hosted on US providers, their EU centers are only in planning. Data access aside, if AWS or Azure (or Cloudflare) are ordered to pull the plug, it's still goodbye Mistral. Unless you use a third party hoster that is, or do it yourself of course - already possible.

by soco

3/18/2026 at 11:03:55 AM

To extend on that a little bit: they use data centers located in EU, but owned by US cloud providers. They can still pull the plug ofc, so it's only a small difference, but still

by amonith

3/18/2026 at 9:57:36 AM

This moat doesn't seem to be much of a moat considering a non-US model doesn't even crack the top 5 by usage - except DeepSeek, which would be a strange choice for Europeans looking for data sovereignty.

by drstewart

3/18/2026 at 10:51:43 AM

> This moat doesn't seem to be much of a moat considering a non-US model doesn't even crack the top 5 by usage - except DeepSeek, which would be a strange choice for Europeans looking for data sovereignty.

Hang on, where are you getting the numbers from? I looked and I couldn't find any numbers on enterprises who opened their wallets for custom-trained models.

I looked, and because I believed that it might be a good business opportunity to explore, I did spend a bit of time trying to find numbers. I came away with the feeling that the winner in the AI space is going to be whoever successfully whitelabels their offering.

Right now that is Mistral, I think.

by lelanthran

3/18/2026 at 10:03:17 AM

> considering a non-US model doesn't even crack the top 5 by usage

How do you measure "usage" in an enterprise/commercial context where no data on usage is available to you? I don't expect Mistral AI to make it's money on OpenRouter.

by Lapel2742

3/18/2026 at 12:47:29 PM

They offer self-hosted models for big corporate customers. I would also expect those serious about the security of their data to use that option. So you would never get the usage of those customers

by hermanzegerman

3/18/2026 at 1:15:23 PM

If you are a company based in Europe it is silly to give your data security and privacy to a company based in Europe.

If you are in Iran, you don't want to give your data to your government.

If you are in France, you don't want to give your data to your government.

etc

If you are in France, and you host your e-mails in a datacenter in Hong-Kong, well good luck for the authorities to get it.

If you host it in "secure France", on the paper you will have more privacy and laws behind you, but in reality you are jumping into the mouth of the shark.

This is why governments are promoting: "yes yes, host here don't worry, we will protect you"

by rvnx

3/18/2026 at 1:39:11 PM

This flat out isn't true. Police forces / investigative authorities have been collaborating with one another since 1923: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpol . We have tons of examples of this working for the digital world as well (like Proton complying with Swiss legal orders at the behest of non-Swiss police forces for illegal activities in other countries).

The trick is to host your data in a country with a strong rule of law, and avoid illegal / geopolitical lines. If you're an American company hosting stuff in Russia, you can bet the GRU/SVR would be very happy to abuse it. If you're running a torrent site in Ukraine, you can bet the US would be very happy to claim extraterritorial magic jurisdiction and get you extradited from Poland.

As a French company, you're already beholden to French law and French legal decisions. "Data is hosted in Hong Kong" doesn't matter in the slightest, it only exposes you to more risk.

"We want your data on X, here;'s a warrant."

"No."

"You are now under arrest for contempt of court."

People have some oddly silly views on what government can and can't do to people living in their territories.

And companies really really don't care if the government has their data.

Now China has it, gives it a competitor in China and your market share drops like a stone. Congrats! Great choice!

I have not seen that, actually. I still see most companies who want to jump into AI for the business sort of try RAG, but more often they just buy Chat accounts for their users.

The only place that harnesses appear to be used is in software development, but most companies aren't doing that either.

by srivmo

3/18/2026 at 9:41:47 AM

ChatGPT is already a small agent that receives your message and decides which agent needs to respond. Within those, agents can have sub agents (like when it does research).

When generating images most services will have a small agent that rewrites your request and hands it off to the generative image model.

So from the treasure trove point of view, optimized agents have their place. From companies building pipelines, they also have their place.

by wodenokoto

3/18/2026 at 9:53:40 AM

> ChatGPT is already a small agent that receives your message and decides which agent needs to respond.

Right, but this was done to value-optimize the product, i.e. try to always give you the shittiest (cheapest) model you can bear, because otherwise people would always choose the smartest (most expensive) model for any query.

Taking away the model choice from the user introduces a lot of ways to cut down costs, but one thing it does not do is make the product give users better/more reliable answers.

Think of it as a base model (the megalith) which then has the weights adjusted towards a specific use-case (SAP, for example).

by lelanthran

3/18/2026 at 7:31:05 AM

Agreed. I’ve used their platform to train smaller, specialized models. Something I could have done in Codelab or some other tool, but their platform allows me to just upload a training set and as soon as it finishes I have a hosted model available at an endpoint. It obviously has some constraints compared to running the training yourself, but it also opens up the opportunity to way more people.

by Stromgren

3/18/2026 at 6:24:39 AM

Indeed, but even for coding use cases, Vibe is more of a focused “refactor/ write this function” aid than “write me an app” and it can work locally. For me that’s a lot more valuable as an accelerator to my workflow where the developer stays in control and fully involved in the process.

It's definitely a topic of conversation in Reddit, etc... However I agree that the push to reduce US dependence by EU companies (and countries) is hampered by the fact that US stuff is already embedded (Microsoft but also Google, etc...) and that many of these companies are transnational anyway (very few European companies are solely inside the EU) and finally and most importantly just about every company will choose the option that does the job best for the right price (sovereignty is a distant second for most decision makers).

by AdamN

3/18/2026 at 8:19:23 AM

While few companies announce this publicly, I know from personal experience with corporate clients that many companies are preparing for Trump to use Big Tech as a bargaining chip.

And they should. Because the US is not behaving rationally at all.

Proof: Most big EU companies use Claude or Gemini or OpenAI, not Mistral. That choice was made recently.

by drstewart

3/18/2026 at 1:45:41 PM

> Proof: Most big EU companies use Claude or Gemini or OpenAI, not Mistral. That choice was made recently.

IS a statement with no supporting facts considered "proof"? Just the public list of Mistral customers (https://mistral.ai/customers) is proof alone that quite a few big EU companies are _not_ in fact using Open AI or Claude or Gemini at the strategic level.

Contrast with Antrhopic's Europe based customers, the majority of which are small companies (only big one I can identify from a skim is L'Oreal): https://claude.com/customers?f80ce999_sort_date=desc&f80ce99...

Or OpenAI's customers, of which the only big European ones I can spot are Scania and Philips: https://openai.com/stories/

Note: I'm talking about strategic enterprise AI deployments for the company or at least a division, not individual developers being allowed to use Claude Code etc. The moat and the money will be in the former, not latter.

by sofixa

3/18/2026 at 11:57:43 AM

I consult for various companies and have definitely seen a trend. It's not quite the rupture that some expect but clearly not nothing either. Until very recently, the risk assessment of using US providers was considered very hypothetical. Today it still doesn't feel imminent, but it does feel very real.

Of course, it will be slow and painful and Europeans will need to use their own services for them to grow and mature.

by saulapremium

3/18/2026 at 10:22:26 AM

My _feeling_ is that a lot of EU/European politicians has talked a lot more about the need to be independent from the US after Trump threaten Greenland. At least in the nordic countries. Not only concerning data & privacy, but defence, communications, space etc. All areas. The wheel has started to turn. You will not see it if you look around. But in 10 years time, maybe more, Europe will have stopped depending on the US. And that will hit US hard. We pay a lot of money in services to the US.

by sisve

3/18/2026 at 11:35:20 AM

The politicians can talk, but they needed to set up an environment that would've let a European company have a decent shot at competing with the best AI models. But they didn't. Should've thought of that before being proud of setting up those strict tech regulations.

by Aerroon

3/18/2026 at 10:19:42 PM

That is not how EU does things. If you want no regulation and access to capital you should go to the US.

AI will take over a lot and the biggest AI company will be in US and China. But there will be room for Europe also on the top 10 list.

But there will be an environment that is creating sovereignty from US much more the before. We have learned our lesson

This sounds like an ideology based reply. Grok is underrated and I think has a better chance of long term success than most. The current growth strategy means (for me) their chat harness is not up to par for serious work.

Their API is consistently among the most used on OpenRouter. While I can’t vouch for it myself, I think this is a decent proxy for capability. You can definitely see glimmers of greatness in their chat interface, it just feels like the system prompts are focused on something that doesn’t interest me.

Did they make significant improvements in OCR 3? The quality I was getting from Mistral OCR 2 was nowhere near as good as what I could get from just sending the same files to Claude Sonnet via an API call.

I have been finding Voxtral useful though.

Too late to edit / update my comment, but I finally tried Mistral OCR 3 tonight on a PDF file I had. Results were good, and fast... but I actually got better quality output from sending it to Haiku 4.5 instead.

In particular, Haiku 4.5 detected some footers that were on every page and moved them to be the footer at the end of the entire document instead, so that the document read more fluently.

I imagine Mistral OCR 3 might have an edge on speed & pricing, but in my low volume / prioritizing-quality case, seems that Claude is still better than Mistral.

How do you suppose this works? They say "pretraining" but I'm certain that the amount of clean data available in proper dataset format is not nearly enough to make a "foundation model". Do you suppose what they are calling "pretraining" is actually SFT and then "post-training" is ... more SFT?

There's no way they mean "start from scratch". Maybe they do something like generate a heckin bunch of synthetic data seeded from company data using one of their SOA models -- which is basically equivalent to low resolution distillation, I would imagine. Hmm.

by upghost

3/18/2026 at 11:58:04 AM

Pre-training mean exposing an already-trained model to more raw text like PDF extracts etc (aka continued pre-training). You wouldn't be starting from scratch, but it's still pre-training because the objective is just next token prediction of the text you expose it to.

Post-training means everything else: SFT, DPO, RL, etc. Anything that involves things like prompt/response pairs, reward models, or benefits from human feedback of any kind.

by qntty

by losvedir

3/18/2026 at 11:11:54 PM

Yeah, this checks out. I wonder what they are doing to prevent semantic collapse. Also, I wonder if the base model would already be instruct and RLHF tuned or only pre-trained. Trying to do additional training without semantic collapse in a way that is meaningful would be interesting to understand. Presumably they are using adapters but I've never had much luck in stacking adapters.

i.e.:

1. Do I start with an RLHF tuned model, "pretrain" on top of that (with adapter or by freezing weights?), then SFT on top of that (stack another adapter, or add layer(s) and freeze weights?) (and where did I get the dataset? synthetic extraction from corpus?), then RL (adapter, add layer(s) and freeze?)

2. or do I start at SF tuned model, ...

3. or do I start at raw pre-trained model, ...

Would love to know what the matrix used was.

by menaerus

3/18/2026 at 8:33:19 AM

For coding use cases you may want a way to search for symbols themselves or do a plain text exact match for the name of a symbol to find the relevant documents to include. There is more to searching than building a basic similarity search.

by charcircuit

3/18/2026 at 9:22:13 AM

Sorry but who mentioned coding as a use-case? My comment was general and not specific to the coding use-case, and I don't understand where did you get the idea from that I am arguing that building a similarity search engine would be a substitute to the symbol-search engine or that symbol-search is inferior to the similarity-search? Please don't put words into my mouth. My question was genuine without making any presumptions.

Even with the coding use-case you would still likely want to build a similarity search engine because searching through plain symbols isn't enough to build a contextual understanding of higher-level concepts in the code.

by menaerus

3/18/2026 at 4:14:16 PM

I mentioned coding as a use case in my comment you replied to. You were asking for an example for when one wouldn't use vector search and I provided one. I did not say similarity search would be a substitute. I said that for the coding case you do not need it.

>you would still likely want to build a similarity search engine

In practice tools like Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Kimi Code, etc are getting away with searching for code with grep / find and understanding code by loading a sufficient amount of code into the context window. It is sufficient to understand higher level concepts in the code. The extra complexity of maintaining vector database top of this is not free and requires extra complexity.

by charcircuit

3/19/2026 at 6:23:16 AM

In your point you said "There is more to searching than building a basic similarity search." which assumed and implied all kinds of things and which was completely unnecessary.

> In practice tools like Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Kimi Code, etc are getting away with searching for code with grep / find and understanding code by loading a sufficient amount of code into the context window

Getting away is the formulation I would use as well. "Sufficient amount" OTOH is arguable and subjective. What suffices in one usage example, it does not in another, so the perception of how sufficient it really is depends on the usage patterns, e.g. type and size of the codebases and actual queries asked.

The crux of the problem is what amount and what parts of the codebase do you want to load into the context while not blowing up the context and while still maintaining the capability of the model to be able to reason about the codebase correctly.

And I find it hard to argue that building the vector database would not help exactly in that problem.

And yet your blog says you think NFTs are alive. Curious.

But seriously, RAG/retrieval is thriving. It'll be part of the mix alongside long context, reranking, and tool-based context assembly for the forseeable future.

by CharlesW

3/18/2026 at 6:32:51 PM

The issue I had with RAG when I tried building our own internal chat/knowledge bot was pulling in the relevant knowledge before sending to the LLM. Domain questions like "What is Cat Block B?" are common and, for a human, provide all the context that is needed for someone to answer within our org. But vectorizing that and then finding matching knowledge produced so many false positives. I tried to circumvent that by adding custom weighting based on keywords, source (Confluence, Teams, Email), but it just seemed unreliable. This was probably a year ago and, admittedly, I was diving in head first without truly understanding RAG end to end.

Being able to just train a model on all of our domain knowledge would, I imagine, produce much better results.

by WesleyJohnson

3/18/2026 at 4:11:05 AM

I don't think RAG is dead, and I don't think NFTs have any use and think that they are completely dead.

Doesn't the fact that LLM's are still non-deterministic with a 0 temperature render all of this moot?

It's a SQL injection except without a predetermined syntax to validate against, and thus a NP problem we've yet to solve.

I think it’s interesting what this approach suggests about who will profit from AI. I’m sceptical that having huge numbers of GPUs is a moat. After all, real humans – even geniuses – are trained on much much less data than the whole Internet. But proprietary and specialised data could very well be a moat. It’s hard to train a scientist/lawyer/analyst without reading a lot of science/law/finance. Companies’ proprietary data might encode a great deal of irreplaceable knowledge. Seems as if Mistral is taking this bet.

Typical stages of training for these models are:

Foundational:

- Pretraining - Mid/post-training (SFT) - RLHF or alignment post-training (RL)

And sometimes...

- Some more customer-specific fine-tuning.

Note that any supervised fine-tuning following the Pretraining stage is just swapping the dataset and maybe tweaking some of the optimiser settings. Presumably they're talking about this kind of pre-RL fine-tuning instead of post-RL fine-tuning, and not about swapping out the Pretraining stage entirely.

by simsla

3/18/2026 at 10:35:19 AM

Interesting. Does this actually scale though ? I've never seen enterprises which have "internal knowledge" in proper readable form - it's often in code, and more importantly in people who wrote them.

I recall that even at Google - with its own search engine and so on - the best way to understand anything was to read code or to reach out to those who wrote them. I don't know how it works in places that work with the "real world" like ASML.

Often the issue is not even about documentation - it's just that it's extremely hard to include all the nuances in text and still have it be readable (code-documentation comes to mind).

Interestingly, I strongly feel that this also where LLMs (and some of our more textually-obsessed academics) fail.

by tho23i42342397

My sense is that it sounds amazing in theory to executives who have never had to themselves look at internal data. In reality the internal knowledge base is a mix of incomplete, inaccurate, self serving lies, out of date and so on. At worst, the data is explicitly biased to hide reality from executives so the AI will look extra good to executives. Of course, a business that makes all tactical decisions based on lies is not going to do well.

Ironically that was also the past of AI. In 2016 it was all about specialized models (not just training data, everything including architecture and model class/type) for specific tasks and that's the way things had been for a long time.

Are you suggesting that it's an aberration that from ~2019 to ~2026 the AI field has been working on general intelligence (I assume this is what you mean by "achieving benevolent knowledge")?

Personally I think it's remarkable how much a simple transformer model can do when scaled up in size. LLMs are an incredible feat of generalization. I don't see why the trajectory should change back towards specialization now.

by holoduke

3/18/2026 at 12:51:26 PM

To be more specific, I think the future is local and specialized. IBM among others thought the same way with their giant mainframe centralized computers and the original way people would utilize software in the 70s. It's an interesting parallel to today's cloud if you think about it. It's just not scalable from a resource (hardware), energy, and cost perspective. I think we're living a unique time, but it's going to change. Without continued massive funding and a pivot to sustainable, things will (and should) change.

Don't get me wrong, general intelligence will always be important and should be a part of specialist models to a degree for understanding, but it doesn't make sense to use an 800B+ parameter model to help write an email or do research on company trends. Hell, look at what China has been able to do. Qwen 3.5 9B, exceeds Claude 3.5 Haiku and nears Sonnet 3.5 levels. The 27B variation of Qwen 3.5 is superior to both in many ways and even rivals newer models. There is obviously an inherit lag behind, but we will gradually see a shift as these models become more capable.

Right now we are chasing 1-2% improvements at the cost of billions. Local are already absurdly capable (more and more by the day - same with cloud ofcourse) and smarter than most people in specific areas. To do most jobs, can we honestly say it requires a PhD or higher level understanding to perform? We're chasing something that is becoming more and more not needed from a general day to day perspective. AGI is outstanding, but not practical (at least today). I think we'll get there anyway at our current trajectory (though dangerous), but I suspect things will shift.

My bet is that the solution to continuous learning is with external storage. There is a lot of talk about context engineering - but I have not seen anyone taking context as the main bottleneck and building a system around that. This would show that even context engineering is kind of wrong term - because context does not enter the llm in some mysterious way - it goes through prompt and the whole model of passing chat history back and forth is not the most efficient way of using the prompt limitation.

by zby

3/18/2026 at 7:43:57 AM

"External Storage" whatever that is can not be the same as continous learning as it does not have the strong connections/capture the interdepencies of knowledge.

That said I think we will see more efforts also on the business side to have models that can help you build a knowledge base in some kind of standardized way that the model is trained to read. Or synthesize some sort on instructions how to navigate your knowledge base.

Currently e.g. Copilot tries to navigate a hot mess of a MS knowledge graph that is very different for each company. And due to its amnesia it has to repeat the discovery in every session. No wonder that does not work. We have to either standardize or store somewhere (model, instructions) how to find information efficiently.

by mhl47

3/18/2026 at 8:22:01 AM

The key to make Copilot useful is to take the limited context problem seriously enough. There are many dimensions to it: https://zby.github.io/commonplace/notes/context-efficiency-i... and it should be the starting point for designing the systems that extensively use llms.

by zby

3/18/2026 at 10:33:37 PM

This looks good but how much money are we talking here? Are we 'retraining' an entire model but adding enterprise data to the public data set?

I wasnt able to find a way to access this - is this something accessible only to enterprises ?

Would love to take it for a spin, if that is even possible.

How does this compare to fine tuning?

It seems to me that it is broadly the same thing, except they give you the resources to do it and expert knowledge.

When you can actually represent somebody like the ESA get in touch with them. Otherwise, uh, gtfo.

lol the AI-generated support reply about their own AI model is peak 2026

the naming mess is wild though. i ran into similar confusion trying to set up mistral for a side project — ended up just guessing which endpoint was the right one
