AI cartoon by Zimbo: Sunday strip: Timothee Lacroix, THE WIND NOBODY OWNS — 2015 ENS grad at NY airport; 2016 tensor-factorization thesis; 2019 teams with Lample; 2023 three Frenchmen leave Meta with a MISTRAL trunk; open weights erupt; finale: Lacroix + Shelf at a lookout as boxes blow into tents, garages, a bunker.
Timothée Lacroix: the ENS recommender-systems PhD who walked out of Meta, co-founded Mistral AI as CTO, and dropped open weights on the world like a bomb. Now the wind he unleashed is blowing into every tent and bunker on earth — in six panels.Zimbo for AI News Page
