Definition

Mistral AI publishes both open-weight models (Mistral 7B, Mixtral, Codestral) and commercial-tier models on its La Plateforme API. It is the most credible European frontier-model competitor and the default pick for teams that need on-prem deployment or EU data residency. Mistral models are widely available on Hugging Face and via Ollama for local inference.
