Summary

  • French AI start-up Mistral has raised $640m in funding to develop its new AI model, Medium 3, which has been designed specifically for enterprise use.
  • Medium 3 offers 90% of the benchmark performance of Claude 3.7 Sonnet, at a fraction of the cost.
  • It also outperforms competitors such as Llama 4 Maverick in 82% of coding scenarios and exceeds Command-A in nearly 70% of cases, according to third-party human evaluation.
  • Mistral’s new AI assistant, Le Chat Enterprise, is a ChatGPT-like platform and is available on the web and via mobile apps, offering enterprise search across private data sources, document libraries, custom connectors and agent builders for no-code task automation, and custom model integrations.
  • It supports seamless integration into existing tools and workflows, and enables companies to build AI agents tailored to their operations, while maintaining full sovereignty over deployment and data.
  • Mistral’s Medium 3 is now accessible via Mistral’s La Plateforme API and Amazon Sagemaker, with support from other providers coming soon.
