EchoStar stock soars after SpaceX valuation set to double
Investing.com -- Mistral AI, a French artificial intelligence startup, is set to launch models that could surpass the performance of DeepSeek’s latest version.
The company’s CEO, Arthur Mensch, announced the plans during an interview with the Wall Street Journal at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. He stated that Mistral AI would soon release "very strong models" that could potentially outperform DeepSeek.
Mistral AI, along with several other startups, makes their models publicly available. This open-source strategy enables smaller firms to learn from each other and enhance their models, allowing them to compete with larger, more financially secure rivals such as OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT.
Mensch views DeepSeek as a contributor to the open-source community rather than a competitor. He highlighted the dynamic nature of the open-source environment, where different companies build upon each other’s work.
He noted that an AI startup can maintain its position as the top model provider only for a brief period before another company introduces a superior version.
