AI in abundance

Mistral AI is making its technology more accessible by launching a free API tier on its la Plateforme for developers to prototype at no cost. The company has also dramatically slashed prices across its entire suite of models, with some seeing price drops as high as 80%. A new and improved enterprise-grade model, Mistral Small v24.09, has been released to offer a powerful yet cost-effective solution for tasks like translation and summarization. Additionally, the le Chat application now features free image understanding capabilities powered by the open-source Pixtral 12B model.
