Mistral AI was founded in April 2023 in Paris. It offers an online assistant, Vibe (formerly Le Chat, still at the same address), in two versions: Vibe for Work and Vibe for Code.
Mistral also publishes open models: several of them, including Mistral 7B, Mixtral and Mistral Small, are under the Apache 2.0 license, which allows commercial use. You can install them in your company, without depending on an online service.
For a European company, it is a simple combination to explain to your data protection officer: the assistant comes from a European company, and the email marketing data is hosted in Switzerland at Mailpro.
