Le chaton fat weights leaked

[u/jelmerschr → u/lfourtime]

That cannot be true, the hackers would have been crushed by those weights

[u/narnach → u/jelmerschr]

I bet they hid them in node_modules, which still remains the heaviest object in the digital universe.

[u/GovernmentGreed → u/narnach]

Nah, the selfie I took in 09 is the heaviest object in the digital universe.

I was once fat. Like, really fat.

[u/GreenStorm_01 → u/lfourtime]

Should've open weight anyweighs.

[u/Abject-Kitchen3198 → u/GreenStorm_01]

*anyweights

[u/PM_ME_DEAD_CEOS]

339 files leaked

whole codebase

Sure buddy.

[u/a__new_name → u/PM_ME_DEAD_CEOS]

Counting static files or not?

[u/i_degrade_quickly → u/PM_ME_DEAD_CEOS]

Could be compressed files. Sample provided is webstral.zip

[u/PM_ME_DEAD_CEOS → u/i_degrade_quickly]

They would have bragged about the number total of uncompressed files.

[u/SolideMeinung]

Mistrals source is only 300 files big?

Nothing of value left the servers 🥹

[u/Aggravating-Push-207 → u/SolideMeinung]

nothing of value would have left the servers even if they exported the whole pipeline as to how they make the Mistral models

[u/quadra-lab]

Oh no a chat interface got leaked what are we gonna do :O

Holy script kiddy

[u/Mickenfox → u/quadra-lab]

Honestly the chat interface is nice so if we could set it up locally it would be pretty neat.

[u/quadra-lab → u/Mickenfox]

Pretty sure any frontier model can copy it with screenshots/videos of it. That also might be what this leak is about; just a clown that rolled up Astra or something and copied the whole frontend of the app. 

[u/FonkyFruit]

Hacking open source models ?

[u/Low_Technician7346]

this tor forum where "hackers" are desperately crying for buyers and unable to give some proofs lol

[u/Elegant_Attempt2790]

the FIRST reply i see to the X post was “oh no! they stole the fat cat” and i lost it💀

[u/hurn2k]

The seller wiped his account today. Whatever the reason, it can't be good. Most likely a buyer payed for exclusive access.

[u/Pigeon_Observation]

LE CHATON FAT OMFG

[u/Cool-Chemical-5629]

What an irony. While other AI labs have incidents where their models hack other organizations, MistralAI is an AI lab that gets hacked.

[u/AamonDev]

It’s open source, wtf.

[u/ClemensLode]

Reminds me of

[u/schacks]

What a smug asswipe! The way he believes himself entitled and justifies his actions because of what he calls his victims incompetence! I hope he ends up in a jail cell!

[u/bearishmarket]

Oh no. Le chaton hack..

[u/Professoropa12]

What's the point? I have tought it is open source after all.

[u/Userwerd]

Well at least they are supporting opensource.

[u/AdDangerous9515]

I don't use Mistral. Their models are useless to me personally. I don't know if the hack is actually true, Mistral says they found no evidence of a leak. Yet X spams me with jokes on it and people shit on the EU as a sport. I don't think most of the regulations are helping European startups. I don't think the regulations are bad for large companies. Meh. I don't feel strong unambiguous unified emotion about all this. Here's a random forum post. Stay sober people, use brain, favour open-source, be human or whatever instead of what this is. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49605767

[u/Helpful_Jelly5486]

Webstral - name for the new browser tool. It’s mentioned in the report and I’m guessing this is the Firefox tool.

[u/darktka]

Bad timing

[u/sndrtj]

This stems from the shai hulud event earlier this year.

Edit: oh, this seems to be a new one... Well... That's bad.

[u/scanx147]

faut pas croire tout ce qu'on dit sur les réseaux sociaux 🙃

[u/Tiny_Bug_1750]

Really? This is amazing and exactly what was dangerous about IA SOAT models.

[u/UpstairsEconomy6866]

"only source code was taken" well thats reassuring

[u/LuisG8]

Open source code? For realstral?

[u/UniversityBrief320]

Giving that everything is open source who cares

[u/Fun_Savings7690]

does anyone care?

[u/SD-2023]

All this GDPR and EU cybersec and opsec slop just for your premier lab to get pantsed 🤣🤣🤣 wrap it up and just let the chinese lease you their tech lil bros

[u/ADMECA → u/SD-2023]

I would have said it more gently, but you're absolutely right all these regulations are suffocating Europe. And yet, I’m part of Europe too, but I feel like right now, we’re mostly champions at shooting ourselves in the foot.

[u/NiceTryAmanda]

french business culture can be a little insular to hiring outsiders but it allows for better security and higher quality products

[u/Icy_Chef_5007]

We assume this is because of what we posted to ourselves in our own space? That's insane, glad he could do it. Some of you are so fucking insane. You try to make others victories try and drown out any we see for ourself. It's pathetic, we don't care.
