4. Rivian allows you to disable all internet connectivity (rivian.com)

Vehicle connectivity is a core feature of Rivian vehicles. If you choose to disable all vehicle connectivity, it will prevent data from leaving the vehicle, but it will also limit or disable certain functionality in the vehicle (e.g., navigation, lane keeping assistance, and over-the-air updates, which provide new features, better performance, safety enhancements, and bug fixes).

To disable all cellular connectivity of the vehicle in Canadian vehicles, use the toggle in the β€œData and Privacy” screen of the vehicle’s Settings menu. For non-Canadian vehicles, you may reach out to Rivian Service to request that we disable the eSIM card in the vehicle through a service appointment. Note that disabling connectivity will have no impact on any Rivian subscriptions you may have (e.g., Connect+) -- those will need to be cancelled separately.

20. Granite 4.1: IBM's 8B Model Matching 32B MoE (firethering.com)

IBM just released Granite 4.1, a family of open source language models built specifically for enterprise use. Three sizes, Apache 2.0 licensed and trained on 15 trillion tokens with a level of pipeline obsession that's worth understanding. But there's one result in the benchmarks I keep coming back to. The 8B model. Dense architecture, no MoE tricks, no extended reasoning chains. It matches or beats Granite 4.0-H-Small across basically every benchmark they ran. That older model has 32B parameters with 9B active. This one has 8 billion. Full stop. That result is either very impressive or it means the old model was underbuilt. Probably both. Here's how they built it, what the numbers actually say, and whether any of it matters for your use case.
