Mistral specializes in tuning their models by customers. That and self hosting are like 90% of their business, they aim straight at what Europe would like to get (that fit needs, economic and regulatory).
So the goal is probably to be able to tune this basis to your ruleset.
As an addendum: US-style moderation is a big issue in europe and notably in France, with a very different touch on what's ok and what's not (obvious differences: hate speech and sex). Mistral is an european company with a french basis, so I doubt they didn't plan for that (otherwise they're complete morons, which I don't think they are).
- egorfine 2mo agoIt sure feels to me an LLM company stands no chance in the industry unless they succumb to specific North American moral values.
- AdamN 2mo agoThere are two usecases: 1/ general purpose, 2/ customer controlled. Mistral is focused on the second one and every customer, whether it's Boeing or Airbus or Nokia or Glencore, will want lots of control over 'their' models. That's not a North American moral values thing. For the first one yes there will be at most 2 or 3 model cultures but even there I think some customers will want really open and some will want more walled gardens.
