Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

Revolutionary approach to prompt engineering. Optimizers find better prompts than humans can write manually.

80/100 · ship

Mixtral MoE architecture delivers excellent quality-to-cost ratio. Codestral is competitive for code generation.

Skeptic
45/100 · skip

Steep learning curve and the abstractions can be confusing. For most apps, good prompt engineering is faster.

80/100 · ship

Open weights with commercial licenses. The efficiency-first approach produces great models at lower compute costs.

Futurist
80/100 · ship

The idea that prompts should be compiled, not handwritten, is correct. DSPy is ahead of its time.

80/100 · ship

European AI sovereignty matters. Mistral proves world-class AI doesn't require US hyperscaler resources.
