Interesting, I didn’t know they had le chat. I’ve been wanting a chatgpt competitor with mistral. Also love the fact they put “le” in front of their products
Cute, but "le chat" literally means "the cat". I presume most young Francophones who are likely to actually use Mistral will pronounce it in Franglais as "le tchatte".

Looks like open-source is just a marketing tool for AI companies before they have a good enough model to sell. I guess we have to look for what Meta is going to do with LlaMA 3.
The cash required to develop and train the models makes the open-source approach challenging, if not impossible, for companies who don't have another business to support it. You need to be Meta - with a huge cash cow - to have the option to give away your work for free. After all OpenAI tried and came to the conclusion that it couldn't succeed as a pure open-source non-profit company no?
Is that what they concluded?
Or did they find they could either have an open source company or $80 Billion and make the decision most of us would make in that situation?

When is someone capable going to take the lead in crowdfunding a Japan-based open ai project?
Why would a crowdfunded ai project need to be in Japan particularly ? But regardless, part of the answer might be that it might be more attractive for "capable people" to get serious money working for a for-profit AI company at the moment.

Even without an open source model I think open AI has already achieved its mission.

I've been saying this for months but every time I get down voted for saying it. It annoys me that people fall for these marketing tactics and keep promoting and advertising the product for free. It's not just the models though- even tools that started off as open source ended up aiming for VC and stopped being totally open. Examples: LlamaIndex, Langchain, and most likely Ollama.
Whoever is lagging will be open source. It's why AMD open sources FSR but Nvidia doesn't do the same for DLSS. There is nothing benevolent about AMD and nothing evil about Nvidia. They are both performing actions that profit maximize given their situation.
That really rings like moral relativism. Even 15 years ago when we were still talking about "GPGPU" and OpenCL seemed like a serious competitor to Cuda, NVidia was much less open than AMD. Sure you can argue that they are "just" profit maximising, turns out it's quite detrimental to all of us...
If what you're saying is that we shouldn't be naive when dealing with for-profit companies and expect good gestures, I agree. But some are more evil than others.
