Hi, and welcome to the first Lispresso. Here's what mattered in AI this week:

- Mistral releases a trillion-parameter model anyone can download
- OpenAI backs one robots.txt signal for AI training
- Reddit moves toward logged-in only
- OpenAI updates the rulebook for its models

- Mistral has released the weights of Mistral Large 4, nicknamed "Le Chonk", so anyone can download and run it.
- It is a 1-trillion-parameter multimodal model trained in Europe, which Mistral calls the best open-weight model for coding.
- Teams that can't send code or security data to a closed API now have a frontier-scale model they can host themselves, but even in compressed form it is about 578 GB and vLLM runs it on four or more data-centre GPUs, so plan on serious hardware or a hosted version.

## [OpenAI backs a shared signal for AI training](https://openai.com/index/helping-websites-express-ai-training-preferences?ref=news.lispresso.ai)

- OpenAI says it will honour a shared robots.txt signal that lets website owners state their preferences on AI training.
- The signal is shared, so one line in robots.txt speaks to every participating provider.
- If more providers sign on, opting out of AI training gets much simpler; until then, keep your per-crawler rules, because the signal only covers providers that take part.

## [Reddit moves toward logged-in only](https://www.engadget.com/2301687/reddit-will-move-to-logged-in-only-as-ai-eats-search-traffic/?ref=news.lispresso.ai)

- Reddit says it will require people to log in to use the site, as AI answers eat into the traffic it gets from search.
- It is starting with tests outside the US.
- When search sends fewer visitors, sites have less reason to stay open to anonymous readers, and Reddit is now testing what happens when it stops.

## [OpenAI updates the rulebook for its models](https://openai.com/index/updated-model-spec?ref=news.lispresso.ai)

- OpenAI has published an updated Model Spec, its public document on how its models should behave.
- The new version is built around five core values, including sound judgment, human agency and faithfulness to human intent.
- If you build on OpenAI's models, the Spec is the clearest statement of the defaults you'll be working with, so read it before you write prompts that fight them.
