He played at home and took advantage of it. The French startup Mistral Ai attracted Mediacoci during the top about artificial intelligence on Monday and Tuesday in Paris. The third international meeting on this innovation not only reflected an enthusiastic vision of AI – and something Naíf, according to some experts – but also the will of the old continent that he is not foolish in this technological career. In addition to advertisements for millions of dollar investments (109,000 million in the case of France and 200,000 million in Europe), the Galas authorities consider Mistral as the spearhead of their ambitions. In particular, generative intelligence application ‘Le Chat’.
“I have downloaded ‘Le Chat’ and it is the French language model, so it is a European reference and helps me in my daily life (…) for everyone who has chat, I advise them to download ‘Le Chat’,” said the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, in the corridors of the Grand Palais), in statement), in statement. This application, whose name is a lexical game of the double meaning Cat and Chat, used the international meeting as a promotion campaign.
World leaders
Released as a computer program in February 2024, ‘Le Chat’ can also be downloaded as a mobile application since last week. The launch has resulted in success, especially in the neighboring country: it has become the most discharged application in Android and the second in App Store, only behind the Google Chrome -Browser. One of the benefits of this conversation chat is the speed, because it can react ten times faster than Chatgpt or Google Gemini. It is also a fairly light tool, so that it can be used on a computer without connecting to the internet.

«Our ambition is to focus on in a world leader. We have demonstrated it at a technological level and now we try to do it as a product, “he told the TF1 Arthur Mensch chain. After continuing the Google Division of AI, this 32 -year -old engineer founded this emerging company by a business conflict of the stock market prize. Chatgtp Creative Group.

Just like with China Depseek, whose irruptie shook world bags a few weeks ago, is one of the mistrant struts that it works with open computer code. “We have built up the company with the conviction that the ‘open source’ will ultimately be the basic infrastructure for all our products,” Mesch explained to the newspaper Le Figaro. “Deepseek represents a new stage in this direction,” he acknowledged. Although some American giants, such as goal or Google, bet on this type of operation, the Chatgpt company opposes it.
The Open Source defense, which serves for computer science from other companies to recycle part of the developed language – that reduces its energy – impact and favors that this technology is less exclusive – was one of the disputes topics at the top of Paris. In the last statement (it is not binding), which the United States or the United Kingdom does not sign, but China and India, defends “that the emphasis on Open AI models is emphasized.”
Although the French authorities of Mistral trust as a flag carrier of their ambitions in this sector, this startup also reflects the delay of Europe in some aspects. “The investments and infrastructure of Microsoft have had to develop,” reminds the sociologist Soizic Penicaud, a teacher in Sciences Po Paris, back on a company that has used third -party calculation centers so far. To win in autonomy, he will build the first data center in France – in Spain there is already one in Barcelona. He was one of the most important advertisements of a top in which the hope of AI broke into.
