Mistral AI

Mistral AI is a French artificial intelligence company founded in April 2023 by Arthur Mensch, Timothée Lacroix, and Guillaume Lample. The company has raised 385 million euros, or about $415 million, in funding.

Mistral AI's mission is to push AI forward by developing open-weight models that are on par with proprietary solutions. The company's first model, Mistral 7B, was released in October 2023. Mistral 7B is a 7B dense Transformer that is fast-deployed and easily customizable. It supports English and code, and has an 8k context window.

In December 2023, Mistral AI released Mixtral 8x7B, a new open-weight language model that sets a new bar for efficiency and performance. Mixtral 8x7B is 6x faster than Llama 2 70B on all benchmarks, and it speaks many languages and has natural coding abilities.

Mistral AI is committed to open source software, and it believes that open-weight models are essential for the future of AI. The company is working to make its models accessible to everyone, and it is also working to develop new tools and resources for the AI community.
