Mistral AI develops open-source AI models with three stated priorities: compute efficiency, utility and trustworthiness.
Its flagship, Mistral 7B, is a small model that performs well across a wide span of use cases. It handles coding naturally, and is notable for how readily it adapts to new tasks.
The models ship with weights and sources, which allows full customisation without handing over user data. That follows from the company's position on open models: open science, community participation and free software, with many of its models and deployment tools released under liberal licences.
Accessibility is a practical consequence rather than a slogan. Mistral models run on any cloud, and even on gaming GPUs, so the barrier to running one yourself is low. The company actively invites community contribution to the work.
