Rob Braxman Tech builds a homelab server for about $1000 using Tailscale. Your data lives at home instead of a provider's cloud. It doesn't cross a border sitting on your phone. Worth a watch if you're looking to get off managed storage.

Mistral Large 4 is open weight in theory. The API is live today, but the weights are not due until late October. Until they land, it is a closed model with an open-weight press release. View quoted note →
