Reviewer scorecard
“Revolutionary approach to prompt engineering. Optimizers find better prompts than humans can write manually.”
“Mixtral MoE architecture delivers excellent quality-to-cost ratio. Codestral is competitive for code generation.”
“Steep learning curve and the abstractions can be confusing. For most apps, good prompt engineering is faster.”
“Open weights with commercial licenses. The efficiency-first approach produces great models at lower compute costs.”
“The idea that prompts should be compiled, not handwritten, is correct. DSPy is ahead of its time.”
“European AI sovereignty matters. Mistral proves world-class AI doesn't require US hyperscaler resources.”
