Mistral
MistralFrench AI startup offering efficient and cost-effective language models, including Mistral 7B and Mixtral.

Overview

Mistral AI is a Paris‑based startup founded in April 2023 by former DeepMind and Meta researchers. In June 2024, it secured a €600 million Series B round that pushed its valuation to €6 billion, making it Europe’s highest‑valued generative‑AI company. The firm develops high‑performance, open‑weight LLMs such as Mistral 7B, Mixtral 8×22B, and the 123‑billion‑parameter flagship Mistral Large, which debuted through a strategic partnership with Microsoft Azure. Its sparse Mixture‑of‑Experts architecture and permissive licensing drive efficient inference and rapid adoption across both open‑source and enterprise communities.
