Mistral 3: France’s Open-Source Strike Against Big AI

With a resounding announcement on 2 December 2025, French AI startup Mistral unveiled its new model family: Mistral 3. The release marks a bold step in the global race for cutting-edge, open artificial intelligence. The line includes a powerful new frontier model – Mistral Large 3 – and three smaller, highly efficient models (Ministral 3B, 8B, 14B), all multimodal, multilingual, and openly licensed under Apache 2.0. Their goal: to serve everything from enterprise-scale infrastructure to resource-constrained edge devices – and to offer a credible, independent alternative to closed ecosystems from OpenAI, Google and Anthropic.

No Ads in ChatGPT – For Now: OpenAI Dismisses Rumours of Advertising Rollout

OpenAI has officially denied that ChatGPT is currently running ads, responding to growing speculation fuelled by user screenshots and snippets of code found in its Android app. According to company representatives, no live advertising is taking place in ChatGPT, and the images circulating online have either been misinterpreted or are simply inaccurate.

The Rise of the Human-Machine Teaming Manager

Just a few years ago, the job title sounded like something out of a future trends report. Today, it's rapidly becoming reality: the Human-Machine Teaming Manager is emerging as a key figure in organisations seeking to bridge the gap between human intuition and machine efficiency. As artificial intelligence and automation become deeply embedded in workflows, a new professional role is taking shape—at the intersection of technology, psychology, and organisational development.

How to Truly Prepare Children for the Age of AI

In a world where chatbots solve problems, algorithms shape job profiles, and artificial intelligence is far from science fiction, it’s no longer enough for the next generation to simply use AI. They must understand it – and learn what uniquely human skills they’ll need to thrive alongside it. Curiosity, ethics, creativity and critical thinking: today’s children need all of these to grow into confident, capable citizens in an AI‑driven society.

Artificial intelligence is no longer just an experiment for major companies – it's a proven driver of business value. That’s the key finding from a new study by the Human-AI Research Department at the Wharton School, which surveyed more than 800 senior executives from large US firms. Around 75 per cent of respondents said their AI projects are already delivering a positive return on investment – a striking result amid ongoing scepticism around the real-world impact of AI.

OpenAI and PayPal: How a Partnership Is Redefining Shopping Through Conversation

ChatGPT Ads: How OpenAI Is Reinventing the Future of Advertising

What is today still seen as a helpful assistant could soon become the next Google—at least if OpenAI’s vision plays out. By gradually transforming ChatGPT into an interactive commerce and advertising platform, the company is laying the groundwork for a new kind of digital monetisation. Ads, as envisioned by OpenAI, won’t look like traditional banners—they’ll feel like part of the conversation.

Second-Order Hallucinations: How AI Search Engines Are Reinventing Misinformation

A new and growing problem is surfacing in the world of AI-powered search: second-order hallucinations. While standard AI hallucinations involve a language model making up facts or misrepresenting information, second-order hallucinations occur when a search engine picks up errors that were themselves generated by another AI system—and presents them as fact. The issue is subtle, but potentially far more dangerous than simple mistakes, as it allows misinformation to spread in a feedback loop between machines.
