I know the Artificial Analysis Index can be inaccurate as hell But boy, is that a hell of a beautiful sight.

YouTube is rage baiting everyone, yet again: They finally introduced a selector on MOBILE WEB for the "Audio track" which allows you to get rid of the terrible auto-translation... BUT you can only use this for Shorts. Not for full videos. They don't have that option there. How the fuck.

No app is as good at keeping you logged out as Bluesky. My mailbox is bursting more and more with dozens of log in mails and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

Okay, so Android is "de jure open source" but de facto closed source right now?? Great job, Google 😮‍💨

Yesterday, I talked with a more or less influential Shiftphone employee on the IFA about their phone and future support for @grapheneos.org. They said the question isn't new - and that they'd happily work on supporting GrapheneOS. 1/5

Had my Pixel 7a get fixed yesterday, but now I'm totally out of the loop! Did Android 16 QPR1 finally get released?? 😳 Can I expect a One UI clone in a few days?

My smartphone broke (Pixel 7a, fell on concrete) and there's nothing better than seeing GrapheneOS Attestation work more flawless than ever! Give it a shot at attestation.app!

> GPT-4 I thought you said GPT-5 was so great?

Wie bitte????? "Unbehagen"? No shit sherlock #NATO #Finland

He can't keep getting away with it.

HEAR ME OUT GUYS AND GALS THEY DID FUCKING COOK. lmarena.ai/leaderboard/... EU may be back in business

Nothing hits harder than setting the GrapheneOS auto reboot timer to 2 hours while the most sensitive thing on your phone are photos of your dog stealing a Burrito

How I feel telling my GrapheneOS duress PIN to my friend who just wanted to look something up on my phone (I'll have to reinstall everything)

Ente released PrivacyPack, a new website to collect your favorite services for increased online privacy. Make your own pack here! privacypack.org

Flux is COOKING man! (deliberately posting this before nano-banana releases) Crazy! GO, EU, GO 🔥

I am strongly, deeply and inexplicably concerned about the influx of people starting to have a real relationship with large language models, purely scientific concepts of probabilistic operations designed to predict the next most probable token in a sequence. 🧵 1/5

Met a friendly dude in IT who asked me if my phone on the desk was a Google Pixel. "Yes", I said, "I put GrapheneOS on it!" "Cool!", he pulled out his phone. "Mine is called a Fairphone. It's great. I put my custom ROM on it, but you can also install GrapheneOS on it!" On a Fairphone? Mm-hmm.

Their "smaller" (20b a3.6b) model runs with less than 15 tok/s on my 4070 Ti. Yeah I don't think it'll "run" on a phone.

Actually, this is a terrible take.

Mistral ... how's it going? Have you been cooking? It's been 2 months and the AI market has rarely been more competitive, so PLEASE act right NOW

Calling GrapheneOS an "Android build" is the understatement of the year.

I just found out something mind-blowing about Voxtral, the new European voice processing LLM by Mistral AI: Not only does it transcribe your voice with impressive accuracy, it also CORRECTS GRAMMATICAL ERRORS WHILE YOU SPEAK!! How fricking cool is that??

> We're working with a 💫 major Android OEM 💫 These cliffhangers make me go crazy, just enough tension to keep us tuning in for the next post, hoping that the ominous OEM is revealed, but NOO 😭

I find it funny how people are like "EU is bad at AI" when there's literally Flux Kontext Max which is faster and better than GPT-image-1, gemini-2.0-flash-image, ideogram etc., there's Mistral Medium which has incredibly price to performance in coding,

I would respond to that post, but it's just yet another automated bridge with no imminent person behind it, screaming their opinion out onto Bluesky without actually being on Bluesky to receive any feedback... Bridges suck.

How the AOSP dev team imagined us to wake up to Castor.ogg after rebooting into BFU mode vs. how we actually wake up (PLEASE GRAPHENEOS, FREE US FROM OUR SUFFERING)

Mistral AI's "Le Chat" just got a huge update - featuring speech recognition, deep research, reasoning, image editing, projects and so much more. One step closer to being a viable alternative to #ChatGPT. If you're European or privacy-conscious, why haven't you switched yet? chat.mistral.ai

GrapheneOS if they sold merch (I'd buy the entire stock):

Tip: Life is much more chill if you just trust the engineers. They likely knew what they were doing.

If you think there's no more good in the world, I'd love to remind you of this cute Vietnamese guy/gal who owed OpenRouter 0.01$ and frantically tried to pay them back (even though anything up to 0.5$ is free). www.reddit.com/r/SillyTaver...

A few months ago, I made a post about how GrapheneOS is getting traction and the user base grows. Maaaan, that was NOTHING compared to now! It's close to going mainstream! (okay, maybe im over exaggerating juuust a little bit)

I think they should just completely burn down Gemini at this point.

The GrapheneOS uprade to Android 16 was just like any other update. Smooth, quick, I didn't notice a thing. Just realized that my phone is suddenly running Android 16. Graphene has done a phenomenal job for this update!

AOSP heads of development after being asked what alarm ringtone fallback to use in BFU state:

It's in QPR1. Doing this as a quote post because... commenting is not allowed (?).

I've stumbled across something extremely weird on LMArena, yet again. One model told me, > "A model like Mixtral 8x22B has over 1.8 trillion parameters." Thinking "what?", I voted against this model, just to see it's Gemini 2.5 Pro. TWO. POINT. FIVE. PRO. These slip-ups make it unusable for me.

What happened to Claude 4 though? Just did some judging on LMArena and one contestant made such an obvious, horrible blunder (math) that I was hoping it to be a tiny, unknown model. It was Claude Opus 4. All trust gone, I'll never use this. Also seems to struggle a ridiculous amount with Markdown.

It's a little infuriating that electricity here in Germany is so damn expensive that it is literally CHEAPER to pay for the DeepSeek API / Chutes instead of running Gemma 3 12b Q4_K_M locally because my GPU pulls so much power. Hooww??

Android's ONE job was to not be iPhone and what do they do? Try to be iPhone with all their new UI updates, im sick of it!! Encourage variety and competiton in the marketplace I don't want to have to get used to iPhone ass features bc then I'd just buy iPhone Also rip my boy home button :(

My 2025 bingo card certainly didn't include PewDiePie switching to GrapheneOS. So much publicity, it's immeasurably great. A warm welcome to any new community members! 🎉

Just learned that I apparently appear on a list of "confirmed transphobes"... Can anyone point me to where I've been transphobic? I've always been supportive and will always be so (just look at my post history) ...? 🫩

Hi @grapheneos.org, I am facing the exact same bug with Google Gemini. Selecting the Google app as the digital assistant will only work for the current session; a reboot, like the one that happens every night for me (auto-reboot), will deactivate it again.

Apple. You could've named it anything.

Today I learned that Gemma 3 does not make a difference between system prompt and user prompt! ollama.com/library/gemm...

I'm actually hyped for WWDC this year. Really wanna see whether they release an on-device LLM and if yes, how it fairs against the new Gemma 3n!

Bluesky's algorithm unfortunately sucks. It's not fun to be here. I mean, it's great and all that you're so creative - yes, cool comic, yeah, cool meal, haha, nice dog, but I simply DO NOT CARE. Sorry. I'm here for politics and talking with people, but that rarely happens.

I've experienced several Bluetooth crashes (1-2 a day) on my GrapheneOS Pixel 7a. It seems to be a hardware issue. The sound will suddenly appear creepily distorted, progressively worsens and then just stops. Does anybody else have this, and does it mean my phone might be faulty?

Can't wait waking up tomorrow to see the beef between Trump and Elon continue. We literally live through a history book. Well, obviously, but I hope you get my point 😭

Are there any updates about the release of Android 16 so far, @grapheneos.org? Is everything pushed yet? Google's being rather silent right now...
