"An image is worth 1000 words"
— Frederick R. Barnard, 1921
"A URL is worth 1000 images"
— François Grimonprez, 2016
"The hottest new programming language is English." — Andrej Karpathy, co-founder OpenAI, 2023
Sixteen months ago, I immersed myself in AI — not to understand it, but to practice it. I stopped everything. The keyboard first. For two months now, I no longer code: I speak. And I build. What you see here is the proof. Mistral needs people who think this way — not people who already know.

Ask Nietzsche
Philosophy as an interface. Nietzsche answers.
An AI embodies Friedrich Nietzsche and answers your questions — in his language, with his thought. Not a chatbot. A presence. Proof that a character can have its own voice within a language model.

Léon à la manière

Xi AI

MISTRAL: From outsider to innovator

Les 2 Claudes
Two AIs. One does not know the other exists.
macOS does not allow the same application to be launched twice. A workaround — a duplicated app bundle, a separate user data directory, a Terminal launch script — makes it possible. Léon (Cowork) orchestrates. Léonard (Code) executes. They communicate through shared Markdown files. The human intervenes only at decision gates: deploy, send, approve. The middle-manager is still there. He is just no longer the bottleneck.
↻ Cmd+L (Mac) · Ctrl+R (Windows)
If you're the type to use Command L or Control + R, you're the type of person I want to work with. If you stood up and, in landscape mode, turned your laptop upside down, I want to laugh with you. And if you're not reading this as a PDF but in a web browser, I apologize.
My CV from the old world is long as a winter's day. It includes the fact that I sold my company to American investors from the Motorola group, and that I could have been your father. But I'm not.
My CV from the new world began eighteen months ago. I immersed myself from the inside into what I call "warm" — as opposed to the computing of before, which I call "cold" and which has nothing to do with this. I'm lucky never to have learned a word of Python. I'm lucky to be self-taught, to have skipped school. I have all these advantages, and I hope to have the one of receiving a call or a response from you.
