A párizsi székhelyű Mistral AI 113 millió dollárt gyűjtött open-source modellek fejlesztésére
Mistral, a four week old startup led by well regarded researchers from DeepMind and Facebook, has raised $113million to help it develop large language models. The European startup will be based out of Paris and will seek to differentiate itself against OpenAI by building models and releasing some of them as open source (or perhaps open access) software. "We believe that the benefit of using open source can overcome the misuse potential,” Mistral CEO Arthur Mensch told TechCrunch.
- Raised $113 million seed round at a $260 million valuation

- Based in Paris, positioning itself as a European alternative to US firms
- Committed to releasing models under open source or open access terms
Miért fontos?
