Mistral AI, an open-source AI startup, reached $ 2 B in valuation in less than 6 months!
Mistral, an open-source AI startup that posted their model as a torrent link last week on X, has just raised over $650Mn and is now valued at $2Bn, all within 6 months of its inception! Founded on June 13th, 2023, the company already has two models and just about 20 total employees.
Mistral AI has officially closed its much anticipated Series A funding round. The French company has raised €385 million ($415 million)
However, this is not the first time this AI startup has made waves in the news, they successfully raised over $113Mn on the very day of their founding, setting a record for the largest seed round in the EU!
And they have managed to do all this while being open source (which OpenAI was supposed to be) and launching their models to the general public through torrents by posting (tweeting) them on X.
Now, let’s delve into the minds behind this miraculous startup.
The company was founded by three former Google and Meta employees who worked on leading projects like Deepmind and LLama. Their only aim when they started was to beat ChatGPT3.5 by the end of the year, and true to their word, they did that!
Let’s take a look at these models made by them:
Mistral 7b
A 7B dense transformer, fast-deployed and easily customizable. Small yet powerful for a variety of use cases. Supports English and code and an 8k context window.
Mixtral 8x7B MoE
A 7B sparse Mixture-of-Experts model with stronger capabilities than Mistral 7B. Uses 12B active parameters out of 45B total. It supports multiple languages, code, and a 32k context window.
It comes in 3 versions:
tiny
small
medium
