Paris-based AI startup Mistral AI is shaking up the artificial intelligence landscape with its latest release, Mistral Large, positioning itself as a competitor to industry giants like OpenAI and Anthropic.
Alongside this flagship model, Mistral AI is launching Le Chat, its very own chat assistant, aiming to offer users an alternative to ChatGPT.
Mistral Large is designed to go head-to-head with heavyweights like GPT-4 and Claude 2, boasting impressive reasoning capabilities.
Despite its competitive edge, Mistral AI‘s pricing model makes it a more cost-effective option, currently priced at $8 per million input tokens and $24 per million output tokens, making it 5 to 7.5 times cheaper than GPT-4-32k.
In addition to its formidable model, Mistral AI introduces Le Chat, a chat assistant available in beta.
Users can explore Mistral’s AI prowess through three different models: Mistral Small, Mistral Large, and the succinct Mistral Next. Although still in beta, Le Chat offers free access and promises an engaging conversational experience.
Mistral AI isn’t stopping there. The company is teaming up with tech giant Microsoft to bring Mistral models to Azure customers.
This collaboration opens new avenues for both parties, with Mistral AI gaining access to a broader customer base and Microsoft expanding its AI offerings on Azure.
As Mistral AI continues to disrupt the AI landscape, its open partnership approach with Microsoft signals a commitment to innovation and accessibility.
With Mistral Large and Le Chat leading the charge, the future of AI is becoming more accessible and dynamic for users worldwide.
