Key facts
- This work helps make a collection of 180,000 documents found in the Egyptian desert accessible, a job that would have taken more than 2000 years without AI
- The reporter was in Paris the last few days to visit the AI Now Summit by Mistral AI, hoping to learn more about their models, plans for the future of European AI and more
- The messaging was all about partnerships: collaborations with ASML, BNP Paribas, Amazon's Alexa+ and how they were helping them with AI to solve real problems
- All in all, the summit left me with a better picture of Mistral's vision for Europe an AI: maybe not to win the race for AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), but to become the European full-stack
Summary
Mistral is no longer a model company. They own the compute (a 40MW data center in Paris, more data centers coming soon, including one in Sweden). The messaging was all about partnerships: collaborations with ASML, BNP Paribas, Amazon's Alexa+ and how they were helping them with AI to solve real problems. When it comes to agentic, the harness is everything. In a talk by Pieter Stock he mentioned that the model alone isn't enough. Specialized small models are their strategy.
