> Au Large

Does anyone have an idea what does "Au" stand for here? Translating "au" to French gives "at", but I'm not sure whether this is what it's supposed to mean.

And "Au" doesn't seem to be used anywhere else in the article.

The old API endpoints seem to still work? I just got a response from "mistral-medium" but in the updated docs it looks like that's switched to "mistral-medium-latest" Anyone know if that'll get phased out?

mistral-medium has been dated and tagged as mistral-medium-2312. The endpoint mistral-medium will be deprecated in three months. [1]

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

Isn’t the ollama service already closed source? I’m pretty sure you can’t use it without connecting to the private model binary server. It’s a very small step to a paid docker hub, cough sorry, ollama hub.

ollama is MIT licensed unless i am misreading

Au, is also the chemical symbol for Gold. It's the short form of the latin word Aurum. This is probably, what the authors intentended as shown in the yellow tint in the website. I might be wrong though

"Au large" means far from the coast, off to sea.

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

"Au large" is an French expression and can be translated by "At sea" or "Off-shore".
