<p>Mistral AI follows the booming trend by adopting <strong>the open AI approach</strong>. This allows:</p> 
<ul> 
 <li> <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-and-artificial-intelligence-the-duo-that-will-grace-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">democratizing access to artificial intelligence technologies</a>,</li> 
 <li>fostering innovation and collaboration among industry players.</li> 
</ul> 
<p>Despite their open-source nature, the AI models developed by Mistral AI rival in performance with the most advanced commercial models on the market. This competitiveness is explained by the efficiency of the algorithms developed by the startup and its access to powerful computing resources.</p> 
<p>The startup also offers <strong>proprietary AI models</strong> in the form of enterprise plans and paid licenses. It has even entered into a strategic partnership with <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/microsoft-spends-4-billion-euros-to-boost-ai-in-france/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Microsoft</a> Azure. This allows it to market its models on the company’s cloud platform.</p> 
<p>With its record fundraising, approach, and high-performance models, Mistral AI is well-positioned to become a major player in the <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/ai-the-eu-sets-up-an-artificial-intelligence-control-office/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">artificial intelligence</a> landscape.</p>
