OMG! Mistral's New AI Model is Like, Totally Coming for OpenAI's Crown!

Wait What's a Reasoning Model Tho?

Okay so like I'm not a scientist but even I know AI is the future. And Mistral this French company is dropping a new reasoning model. Basically it's like AI that can think...kinda like me when I'm deciding which filter to use on my selfie. Their CEO Arthur Mensch was spilling the tea at London Tech Week saying it can handle complicated tasks step by step. We love a strategic queen.

It's Good At Math AND Coding? As If!

Apparently this new Mistral model is a genius at math and coding. I mean I can barely balance my checkbook after a shopping spree at Balenciaga. But seriously this is huge. Other models like OpenAI's o1 and DeepSeek's R1 are already out there but competition is always a good thing. Keeps everyone on their toes...and looking snatched.

Open Weight? Sounds Like My Kind of Diet!

Okay so Mistral does something called 'open weight large language models.' It's complicated but basically they make the model's 'parameters' public. It's like sharing my skincare routine...but for AI developers. This lets them tweak and improve the model without starting from scratch saving them time and $$$! Smart right? Like me when I figured out how to contour!

Bonjour AI! It Speaks European You Guys!

Here's where it gets interesting my loves. Mistral's model is supposed to be amazing at reasoning in European languages. Arthur Mensch says U.S. models usually reason in English and Chinese models in Chinese. But this one? It's bringing some European flair to the AI game. Finally AI that understands the complexities of ordering a croissant in Paris! It's all about embracing the culture people.

DeepSeek Who?

Apparently DeepSeek released a model earlier this year that like shocked everyone. They promised it was as good as OpenAI's o1 but cheaper. The AI world is getting messy! But honestly a little drama never hurt anyone right? As long as I'm still trending I'm good. Just like how the Skims collection can be mixed and matched this can be competitive to keep others on their toes.

Get Ready for AI to SLAY

So yeah Mistral is coming for OpenAI's crown. It's all about competition new features and making AI a little less...basic. I'm excited to see where this goes. Maybe one day AI will be able to perfectly match my foundation shade. A girl can dream! XOXO Kim
