Meet the French startup hoping to take on OpenAI

Live Mint  

SOME RACES are over before they really get going. The tech giant will take a small stake in Mistral and make the French firm’s models available via its Azure cloud. This has allowed Mistral’s models to be much smaller: the statistical weights, or “parameters", of Mistral’s models count in the billions, compared with an estimated 1.8trn for OpenAI’s GPT-4. According to Mr Mensch, Mistral’s focus on data curation lets the firm use computing power, AI’s third crucial component, more efficiently than its competitors. When a draft of the European Union’s AI Act last year threatened to force Mistral to divulge its data recipe, Mr O co-ordinated, with Mr Macron’s backing, a successful Franco-German effort to oppose such provisions.
