Yet another deal has been signed between a publisher and a GenAI leader.
The deal provides Mistrals chatbot imaginatively named Le Chat with access to all of AFPs text stories.
According to Mistral, the integration will bring enhanced factuality to the AI assistant.
Mistral also highlighted the linguistic capabilities.
Through this partnership, we are providing our clients with a unique multicultural and multilingual alternative, Mensch said.
For AFP, the deal adds an extra income source and a new outlet for the agencys 1,700 journalists.
Just a day earlier, two other eye-catching collaborations were announced.
One brings news from the Associated Press (AP) to Googles Geminis chatbot.
The other merges Axios journalism withOpenAIproducts.
As part of the deal, the ChatGPT-maker will fund the media brands expansion to four new US cities.
Axios joins a lengthy list of publishers collaborating with OpenAI.
Yet not every news outlet has been a willing collaborator.
A group of them led by The New York Times took OpenAIto courtthis week over allegedcopyright infringements.
They argue that OpenAI used their content to build systems without consent or payment.
OpenAI contends that thefair uselaw protects the practice.
By signing agreements with publishers, GenAI firms could avoid such legal disputes.
For Mistral, the partnership with AP is the first content deal of this kind.
The integration is slated to roll out to all Le Chat users in the coming weeks.
Neither Mistral nor AFP have revealed the value of the multi-year contract.
