- @beniduboss recounts learning that Mistral was allegedly hacked: initially dismissed as exaggerated, then confirmed as serious by a contact with visibility into underground dev circles.
- After checking via Tor, the poster says the attacker shared samples of unreleased Mistral tools and the entire codebase is apparently up for sale.
- Unverified rumor for now; if true it would be a major security incident for a leading open-source AI lab.
