Mistral AI has developed and released several AI models for different user needs, with both commercial and open models.
Its open AI models, which are available for free with a fully permissive license, include its original Mistral 7B transformer model, its smaller original model fluent in English with an 8K content window, and its most capable open model, Mixtral 8x7B with a 32K context window fluent in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, code, according to the website.

Its commercial models, Mistral Small, Mistral Embed, and Mistral Large, which were just added this week, serve different purposes, varying in costs, and workload capabilities. Mistral Small and Mistral Large are fluent in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and code and have a context window of 32K tokens. Mistral Embed is only available in English for now and is designed for extracting representation of text extracts.
This week, Mistral also unveiled Le Chat, its chatbot available for free in beta. The chatbot can use Mistral Large, Mistral Small, or Mistral Next, a prototype model, which users can toggle between. Mistral AI does warn that it does not have access to the internet. To access it, all you have to do is sign up for the beta.
