On: Mistral's Robostral Navigate: a state of the art robotics navigation model

Can you please stop posting flamebait, unsubstantive comments, name-calling, shallow dismissals and the like? You've been doing these things repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

We've already asked you this a couple times. If you'd please review the site guidelines at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and follow them, we'd appreciate it.

This is Mistral though. I assume the model can be run locally.

That would be a rather expensive robot vacuum.

So the vacuum cleaner manufacturer would just require customers to install mistral on their local LLM hostbox? Or maybe they'd sell you a host to go with it you couldn't get into and honest cross fingers we aren't peeking!

It is an 8B model… so, I guess it probably couldn’t run directly on most existing vacuum robots, but it could be reasonable this decade, right?

I wish we lived in the alternate universe where everybody has a home server that could run this sort of thing.

Once prices settle down it doesn’t seem unreasonable that everyone who wants modern conveniences plops down $3k for a home computer. It’s still cheaper than during the “home computer revolution” 80s/90s when normies were buying these at Sears and Radio Shack.

It would be nice to believe that could be possible, but people mostly switched to cheap laptops as soon as they became viable. No harm in being hopeful though.
