Deep dives
Start of Mistral and the Inspiration Behind It
Mistral, an open-source AI model, was started by a team of X-DeepMind researchers in France. The inspiration behind starting Mistral came from the founders' desire to create a standalone company focused on making AI better, developing fairer AI, and promoting open-source AI as a core value. The team wanted to explore how to make good models with limited compute and financial resources, and they believed there was a need for more AI players in Europe. Their goal was to challenge the current trend of large models and demonstrate the potential of smaller, more efficient models.
