Europes startup contribution to the generative AI bonanza, Mistral, has released its first model.
Mistral 7B is free to download and be used anywhere including locally.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.

Were committing to release the strongest open models in parallel to developing our commercial offering, Mistral said.
Were already training much larger models, and are shifting toward novel architectures.
Stay tuned for further releases this fall.

Do not expect a user-friendly ChatGPT web interface to engage with the made-in-Europe LLM.
Mistral 7Bs performance demonstrates what small models can do with enough conviction.
