Our take
Founded by Facebook AI researchers, Mistral AI focuses on developing open-source generative AI models to "make AI useful." It emerged in early 2023, quickly achieving a $260 million valuation.
With the upcoming release of Mixtral in 2024, featuring up to 176 billion parameters, Mistral is under pressure to deliver. Mixtral's open-source nature has sparked concerns about potential misuse, yet Mistral remains a formidable competitor in the AI landscape, challenging models from Google and Meta.
Recently, Mistral secured a massive $640 million funding round, raising its valuation to $6 billion. This Series A funding, led by General Catalyst and including investors like Lightspeed Venture Partners and Andreessen Horowitz, underscores significant interest in alternatives to ChatGPT.
