DNS-PERSIST-01: A New Model for DNS-based Challenge Validation
https://letsencrypt.org/2026/02/18/dns-persist-01.html
> Instead of publishing a new challenge record for each issuance, you publish a standing authorization in the form of a TXT record that identifies both the CA and the specific ACME account you authorize to issue for this domain.
DNS-PERSIST-01: A New Model for DNS-based Challenge Validation
When you request a certificate from Let’s Encrypt, our servers validate that you control the hostnames in that certificate using ACME challenges. For subscribers who need wildcard certificates or who prefer not to expose infrastructure to the public Internet, the DNS-01 challenge type has long been the only choice. DNS-01 works well. It is widely supported and battle-tested, but it comes with operational costs: DNS propagation delays, recurring DNS updates at renewal time, and automation that often requires distributing DNS credentials throughout your infrastructure.

@chergert I learned French when I was a child. I cannot fathom learning it now. Your resolve is inspiring.
That strongly implies that Mistral's next step is TTS. In fact, other tokens corroborate it: while [AUDIO] likely indicates that speech tokens follow, [REF] might indicate a reference voice pattern to copy, and [OUTPUT_AUDIO] might start converting text to audio.
It also outputs a [word] token, which fits the [STREAMING_WORD] token found in Voxtral 2.
Why have that?
For text-to-speech: there, when the model knows it has finished outputting the audio for a word, it generates the WORD action, so that we can feed it the next word to say.
