Build specialized multimodal models with LFM3

Hugging Face

This Hugging Face page presents LFM3, a family of specialized multimodal models from Liquid AI. It lists several LFM3 model variants—Text Generation (8B and 2B), Any-to-Any (2B), and Image-Text-to-Text (2B and 3B)—and links to a collection of base and post-trained LFM3 models hosted at liquid.ai/blog/lfm3. Related posts from the same author cover running private agents on-device with LFM2.5-24B-A2B and multimodal open decision models for the edge.

[AINews] Building AIE CODE: The top Coding Agent Conference

AINews covers three AI developments: Mistral Large 4 ('Le Chonk') shipped as an open-weights release built for agentic coding and cybersecurity, with 1.05T total and 52B active parameters, 1M context, text+image input, and pricing near $0.70/$2.10 per 1M input/output tokens; OpenAI now monitors all frontier RL runs, evaluations, and internal Codex use using activation probes, reviewer models over reasoning and tool use, and investigator agents; and Anthropic says Claude now produces a preliminary misuse assessment immediately after each response, which it says has surfaced misuse its classifiers were not designed to catch.

Paris-based Mistral releases "Le Chonk," a strong coding model that still trails China overall

Mistral has released the weights for Mistral Large 4, nicknamed "Le Chonk," a model of about one trillion parameters (52 billion active) trained entirely in Europe and distributed under a modified MIT license that allows running it on own hardware. Independent testing by Artificial Analysis rates it 26 points on its Intelligence Index, behind open Chinese models such as DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and GLM-5.3 (32 points) and far behind the leading systems from Anthropic and Google. Mistral says it leads open models on coding, and independent benchmarks show it is fast (161 tokens per second) and cheap, but it trails Claude Opus 5.5 on coding indexes and ranks third among open models on cyber defense. Mistral cut the API price from $1.36/$4.18 to $0.70/$2.10 per million input/output tokens, and the model is available on Microsoft Foundry.

Google "Carbon" just won everything...

Google announced Gemini 4 Carbon, its newest frontier model, claiming state-of-the-art cybersecurity and long-horizon capabilities. It ranks number one on Artificial Analysis's newly released index V5, scoring 59, above the previous best model, Claude Opus 5.5. The model is not yet publicly released; Google will first give it to cybersecurity partners and participate in a US government pre-release testing process before general availability. Google cites gains in coding, agentic tasks, and cybersecurity benchmarks (SEC bench pro, exploit gym, CWE patching). Introductory pricing is $2 per million input and $10 per million output tokens, rising to $4 and $20 after the introductory period, with 95% off cached input tokens. The model follows Gemini 4 Argon, launched two weeks earlier.

the internet could go DARK...

A creator video warning of a wave of AI-powered cyberattacks dubbed 'Black October,' which the speaker says began within 48 hours of recording. It reports a breach of patient health data at Quest Diagnostics, quotes cybersecurity experts including Anthropic's Jason Clinton warning of further escalation, and notes Cloudflare's observation that attacks on disclosed vulnerabilities started before official announcement. It references Sam Altman's Stanford interview remark that all vulnerabilities cannot be patched, and OpenAI's coordinated disclosure of critical PHP vulnerabilities. The video also discusses US banks detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents in customer accounts, Amazon barring AI agents from its platform, and data-exfiltration vulnerabilities in Claude, including URL-based and HTTP-header PII leaks.
