In your hands

Our products comes with transparent access to our weights, permitting full customisation. We don't want your data!

Committing to open models.

We believe in open science, community and free software. We release many of our models and deployment tools under permissive licenses. We benefit from the OSS community, and give back.

Edit: this is pretty fucking sad, and the fact that it's become expected is... I dunno, a tragedy? I mean, the whole point of anti-trust law was that monopolies like this are a net negative to the economy and to social and technological progress. They are BAD for business for everyone except the monopolist.




Exactly who is a monopoly? There are 4-5 separate companies with models as good as mistral.


There really isn't though? I've not seen anything close to Mistral yet in the 7b space - and it's even going downhill, Gemma is a total joke surprisingly, almost non functional.


Not having (yet) produced as good a product is not evidence of a monopoly!


And raising prices to match that of the highest priced competitor (gpt-4-turbo), also owned by Microsoft. Is price fixing not evidence of monopolistic behaviour?


Cartel behaviour. But ok, that is more compelling for the general point.
