Fun comments on this page; a lot along the lines of "enterprise sales strategy is dead on arrival because I can't try it". The thing is, every random person being able to use an LLM or related app for free (or even a fixed, amount like a $20/month subscription) is basically the company behind it saying "please spend our money". That might work if you raised tons and tons of cash, but if I recall Mistral has raised ~$1B compared to OpenAI's $60B. That gives them good incentive to prioritize making money over being the hype tool that you can easily try. User-led adoption isn't the only strategy out there. As for it being a fork of Continue, they acknowledge that very much in their blog post that announced this. Sure, it probably means you could set up an equivalent yourself with Continue pointing to the right model; but that adds a lots of friction – and might not be allowed in an entreprise setting.
