  • Subjectively, it feels similar to models we used a year or two ago. Not that drastically different from what Anthropic and OpenAI offer today, but slightly worse. For instance, for complex coding tasks it offers basic solutions, while Claude often offers more options and details - as if it knows more.

    Objectively, benchmarks. Mistral looks comparable to other open weight models (as another user mentioned), but not as good otherwise.


















  • Given that database management systems already provide clear separation between services in the form of databases, users, and permissions, I see no need to spin up new database instances for each individual service. You say it’s easier to back up tightly coupled services and databases, but why? I find it easier to back up a single database server than multiple servers.

    The real concern with shared databases is performance: some services, under certain conditions, can generate load that degrades database performance for everyone. But that’s usually a problem for large enterprises, not self-hosters.
