                        It's announcement time! I'm so honoured to be part of the 2nd wave of @penpot Ambassadors, representing Canada 🇨🇦

                        Being an ambassador for Penpot is bringing so many of my passions together: advocating for open-source tools in design, removing barriers from education, and bringing the community together.

                        We're still working on the logistics of the first event, but I'm hoping we can host it as a hybrid event so everyone across the country can join in. Sometime around the end of September, but more on that in the coming weeks.

                        Canada is a huge country, and it's wonderful how many ethnicities, cultures, languages, and design communities are part of it. My hope is to create a Penpot team here so we can rotate event formats, languages, and times to accommodate everyone.

                        If you're a Canadian designer curious about open-source design, drop a comment or DM me! I’d love to connect.

                        I am truly excited for what the future holds!

Sie waren so freundlich, GGUF-Dateien aus erster Hand zur Verfügung zu stellen (mehr Labs sollten das tun!). Die Chain of Thought (CoT) ist einzigartig. Sie wiederholt zunächst die Frage wortwörtlich und führt eine interne Debatte, ob sie sich als "KI-Assistent von Meta" bezeichnen soll oder nicht. Letztlich entscheidet sie sich dafür, den Namen des Unternehmens/Labs zu überspringen und sagt einfach "ein KI-Assistent". Dies ist kein Einzelfall. Es tut dies konsequent. Außerdem bezeichnet es sich selbst als "Wir" statt als "Ich". Die einzigen anderen Modelle, die ich gesehen habe, die dies tun, sind DS 3.2 und 4.
