Mistral Models
Open-source and commercial large language models from Mistral AI, a French startup that has rapidly become Europe's leading AI model developer with highly efficient architectures.
Mistral 7B, released in September 2023, outperformed Llama 2 13B on most benchmarks despite being nearly half the size. Mixtral 8x7B introduced a mixture-of-experts architecture to open-source models. Mistral AI has raised over $600 million and reached a $2 billion valuation within a year of founding. The company's models are known for exceptional efficiency, with Mistral 7B becoming one of the most fine-tuned open-source models. Mistral represents Europe's ambition to compete with US and Chinese AI labs.
