Notes from the Mistral AI Now Summit

At the Mistral AI Now Summit, the company announced several new products. Mistral Large 2, a 123 billion parameter model, was released under an open-weight license, allowing developers to download and fine-tune it. The model supports 12 languages and has a 128k token context window. Additionally, Mistral launched Le Chat, a consumer-facing chatbot app available on iOS and Android, which uses the new model. The company also introduced a new API endpoint for Mistral Large 2 with pricing at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens. These releases position Mistral as a strong competitor to OpenAI and Anthropic, particularly for developers seeking open-weight alternatives.
