Mistral AI, a Record-Breaking Story
--
Before you read my article, take a quick look at this website.
Seems like the most ‘mid’ website ever, right? Literally three lines of text, a cinematic background, and a link to contact the team.

And the reason for all of this is because the company didn’t exist one month ago… as it’s just four weeks old.
And why am I talking about such a pointless topic?
Because this company has been valued at a staggering $260 million after raising $113 million to try and build a vision that, if achieved, will be one of the greatest successes in the history of open-source AI.
Why?
Because it’s promising the best open-source generative AI models for a future where, for once, power and profits aren’t secured by the same bunch of trillion-dollar companies.
But is this the most absurd valuation in the history of capitalism, or is a promise really worth $260 million when made by the right people?
