Moderna just took a bold step into the AI age — merging HR and IT into a single role: Chief People and Digital Technology Officer.
Why? Because in a world where AI and people collaborate to get work done, it no longer makes sense to manage them in silos.
This move signals a broader shift. Companies like Shopify are rethinking open roles in light of AI capabilities. Moderna is showing what that looks like in practice.

@artificialintelligencenews.in 👋 Hello
We’re Author AI, the first AI built specifically for long-form writing. Think novels, screenplays, technical manuals, but with structure at scale.
We’re not here to replace the human author. We’re here to support those with powerful stories, but limited time, resources, or access to craft training.
We'd love to share some of our work with you for your review!
"Mistral's announcement captures the essential features that all of the LLM vendors have started to converge on for these "agentic" systems:
- Code execution, using Mistral's new Code Interpreter mechanism. It's Python in a server-side sandbox - OpenAI have had this for years and Anthropic launched theirs last week.
Image generation - Mistral are using Black Forest Lab FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra.
- Web search - this is an interesting variant, Mistral offer two versions: web_search is classic search, but web_search_premium "enables access to both a search engine and two news agencies: AFP and AP". Mistral don't mention which underlying search engine they use but Brave is the only search vendor listed in the subprocessors on their Trust Center so I'm assuming it's Brave Search. I wonder if that news agency integration is handled by Brave or Mistral themselves?
- Document library is Mistral's version of hosted RAG over "user-uploaded documents". Their documentation doesn't mention if it's vector-based or FTS or which embedding model it uses, which is a disappointing omission.
- Model Context Protocol support: you can now include details of MCP servers in your API calls and Mistral will call them when it needs to. It's pretty amazing to see the same new feature roll out across OpenAI (May 21st), Anthropic (May 22nd) and now Mistral (May 27th) within eight days of each other!"
"I’ve been tracking llm-tool-use for a while. I first saw the trick described in the ReAcT paper, first published in October 2022 (a month before the initial release of ChatGPT). I built a simple implementation of that in a few dozen lines of Python. It was clearly a very neat pattern!
Over the past few years it has become very apparent that tool use is the single most effective way to extend the abilities of language models. It’s such a simple trick: you tell the model that there are tools it can use, and have it output special syntax (JSON or XML or tool_name(arguments), it doesn’t matter which) requesting a tool action, then stop.
Your code parses that output, runs the requested tools and then starts a new prompt to the model with the results.
This works with almost every model now. Most of them are specifically trained for tool usage, and there are leaderboards like the Berkeley Function-Calling Leaderboard dedicated to tracking which models do the best job of it.
All of the big model vendors—OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Meta—have a version of this baked into their API, either called tool usage or function calling. It’s all the same underlying pattern.
The models you can run locally are getting good at this too. Ollama added tool support last year, and it’s baked into the llama.cpp server as well.
It’s been clear for a while that LLM absolutely needed to grow support for tools. I released LLM schema support back in February as a stepping stone towards this. I’m glad to finally have it over the line.
As always with LLM, the challenge was designing an abstraction layer that could work across as many different models as possible. A year ago I didn’t feel that model tool support was mature enough to figure this out. Today there’s a very definite consensus among vendors about how this should work, which finally gave me the confidence to implement it."

European Publishers Council stays true – to the tired old trope about “copyright theft”
A few weeks ago Walled Culture explored how the leaders in the generative AI world are trying to influence the future legal norms for this field. In the face of a powerful new form of an old technology – AI itself has been around for over 50 years – those are certainly needed. Governments around the world know this too: they are grappling with the new issues that large language models […]

"Much of the assertion that #Altman and #Schmidt make about #generativeAI helping with #climatechange is built on the notion that the technology underlying #ChatGPT will soon get so smart, because of all the data it’s taking in, that it will surpass human intelligence and will be able to come up with ideas that humans couldn’t.
But such advocates don’t ever really explain how a technology that’s #notsentient and doesn’t have any real notion of the actual physical world will somehow evolve into what they like to call artificial general intelligence, said @emilymbender and #AlexHanna, co-authors of the new book “The #AICon: How to Fight Big Tech’s Hype and Create the Future We Want.”
