Rebranding talk

So I am thinking of doing a company rebrand. We are still a startup and very small, but our industry focus has shifted over the past year to 18 months since launched.

What are some things to take into consideration when doing a company rebrand and any advice how to get started?

Open Research vs. Big Tech: Where Is AI Innovation Headed Next?

The AI landscape keeps shifting fast, and Mistral AI s recent moves remind us that innovation rarely comes from just one giant. It s fascinating to see a new player emerge with fresh approaches to open-weight models and decentralized R&D challenging the idea that AI progress must be owned by a few massive companies.

This raises a bigger question:

Are we heading toward a more collaborative and open AI ecosystem, or will the big players always dominate the narrative?

Mistral s approach hints at a future where competition sparks creativity, but also where transparency and open research might unlock new breakthroughs faster. For builders and researchers alike, this is both exciting and a bit daunting.
