French AI company Mistral claims its latest AI model offers a more efficient way to train and operate robots.
The model, Robostral Navigate, can guide a robot through plain language instructions, using a single RGB camera to find its way. Mistral said that this was a radical departure from most other models, which rely on depth sensors, LiDAR or several cameras working together.
Robostral Navigate has achieved a score of 76.6% on the R2R-CE (Room-to-Room in Continuous Environments) benchmark for robots following instructions. This beats the best system using depth sensors or multiple cameras by 4.5 percentage-points, despite the Robostral Navigate using neither of these aids, and puts it 9.7 percentage-points ahead of the next-best single-camera robot.
Mistral said it had designed the model to autonomously navigate complex environments including offices, residential and commercial buildings, and outdoor settings. A key feature of the new model is that it is easier to train: Mistral sai

Though Instagram head Adam Mosseri doesn't want to filter out AI content on the platform, he argues that you "shouldn't have it in your feed" if you don't like it. "I don't think we should filter out AI content," Mosseri said during an interview on Lenny Rachitsky's podcast. "I think we should let you know if content is AI content or not."
At the same time, Mosseri seems to be drawing a distinction between content-based sorting and banning AI from the platform entirely.
