"BARCELONA -- French artificial-intelligence startup Mistral AI plans to release models that its chief executive said could outperform DeepSeek's latest version, embracing open source as a cost-effective approach to develop increasingly powerful AI without spending billions of dollars.
Mistral AI and some other startups make their models available to the public. That open-source approach allows smaller companies to learn from each other and improve their models in the race against larger and better-funded rivals like ChatGPT maker OpenAI.
"We are going to release very strong models that are going to outperform DeepSeek pretty soon," Mistral AI co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Arthur Mensch said in an interview at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Mensch said he saw DeepSeek as a contributor to the open-source realm rather than a competitor.
"The story with open source is that you have different companies that are building on top of one another," he said, pointing out that an AI startup can keep the throne as the best model provider only for a limited time before another company releases a better version.
Chinese AI company DeepSeek rattled markets in January after it developed a model that it said nearly matched American rivals despite using inferior chips, raising questions about the need to spend huge sums on advanced gear provided by Nvidia and other tech giants.
The U.S. has been leading the charge with big-ticket investments. Washington in January announced Stargate, an AI joint venture that aims to build data centers in the U.S. for OpenAI.
OpenAI, SoftBank Group, Oracle and MGX are the initial equity funders in Stargate, while Arm, Microsoft and Nvidia are technology partners.
The companies are committing $100 billion initially but plan to invest up to $500 billion during the next four years.
Mensch said Paris-based Mistral AI has raised more than $1 billion so far." [1]
To let AI participate in your activities, you have to trust the AI. If it is not open source, you cannot trust it. What is hidden in there? So you will not use it as often as you need.
By the way, DeepDeek justifies all the steps of reasoning, while ChatGPT cannot. Here you go, women, half a trillion dollars going up in smoke.
