Different with the open weight models though - they are a margin business. And openai etc have to compete with them too

Mimo 2.6 pro scores 46 and is half the price (though a lot less throughput). Im not sure why nobody has made the same fuss around it

Its in a competitive space with Dacia Spring, Renault Zoe and maybe Nissan Leaf, all of which are there or thereabouts for the announced price and weight here and actually being sold now. This is still a concept and 2 years away. So none of those specs are amazing.

Its a nice design though good to see from Citroen who have spend too long oscilating between no personality and just weirdly quirky (citroen cactus anyone?)

The reality is a lot depends on your economy. A manufacturing and port city will necessarily be very different urban form to a white collar office job city or a beach/lifestyle city full of remote workers. An egalitarian city will be very different from a socially segregated city. Etc.

Cities are also never perfectly efficient because they are always evolving in function and use

Im not sure you can make a decent business case when the space is crowded with Chinese companies doing the same thing with a fraction of the costs to hire talented staff

Even more amazing!

All of the big Bullfrog games were unique and for some reason never spawned imitators. Populous, Magic Carpet, Theme Park/Hospital, Dungeon Keeper alongside Syndicate

This is basically undercutting KimiK3 and Grok 4.6 where previously utilised gad soke advantages but was a step more expensive

The selling point for gemini continues to be speed and particularly end-to-end response time.

You are absolutely right!

Would you like me to respond in a more naturalistic way for hackernews denizens?

Also everything hes saying about China (and other actors) many outside the USA would say about the USA.

The solution of a global arms race of state vs state with integrated statist corporations as the best outcome for end users sure is a choice though
