alt Hacker News> Mistral is just not competitive enough
Does anyone know why? I was really excited when they emerged, but their models and targets don't seem to be quite in the same market.

Lack of capital and (probably) lack of willingness to mass distill Anthropic and OpenAI.

Most probably lack of capital and talent. At the end of the day they have to compete with other giants for the chips to train the models.

Their target market is completely different. Anthropic and OpenAI try to build general AI that wins on all the benchmarks by throwing ungodly amounts of money at it.
Mistral focuses on long term b2b contracts and their proposition is that they fine tune their model to your needs with an added bonus of 'not dependent on America' in a politically tumultuous time.
