This partnership with Microsoft enables Mistral AI with access to Azure\u2019s cutting-edge AI infrastructure<\/a>, to accelerate the development and deployment of their next generation large language models (LLMs) and represents an opportunity for Mistral AI to unlock new commercial opportunities, expand to global markets, and foster ongoing research collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to embark on this partnership with Microsoft. With Azure\u2019s cutting-edge AI infrastructure, we are reaching a new milestone in our expansion propelling our innovative research and practical applications to new customers everywhere. Together, we are committed to driving impactful progress in the AI industry and delivering unparalleled value to our customers and partners globally.\u201d <\/p>\nArthur Mensch, Chief Executive Officer, Mistral AI<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft’s partnership with Mistral AI is focused on three core areas: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Supercomputing infrastructure<\/strong>: Microsoft will support Mistral AI with Azure AI supercomputing infrastructure delivering best-in-class performance and scale for AI training and inference workloads for Mistral AI\u2019s flagship models.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Scale to market<\/strong>: Microsoft and Mistral AI will make Mistral AI\u2019s premium models available to customers through the Models as a Service (MaaS) in the Azure AI Studio<\/a> and Azure Machine Learning model catalog<\/a>. In addition to OpenAI models, model catalog offers a diverse selection of both open-source and commercial models. The ability to use Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC)<\/a> for purchasing Mistral AI\u2019s models is available today<\/a>. Azure\u2019s AI-optimized infrastructure and enterprise-grade capabilities offer Mistral AI additional opportunities to promote, sell, and distribute their models to Microsoft customers worldwide. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. AI research and development<\/strong>: Microsoft and Mistral AI will explore collaboration around training purpose-specific models for select customers, including European public sector workloads. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Expand your AI functions with Azure and Mistral AI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In November 2023, at Microsoft Ignite, Microsoft unveiled the integration of Mistral 7B into the Azure AI model catalog<\/a> accessible through Azure AI Studio and Azure Machine Learning. We are excited to announce Mistral AI\u2019s flagship commercial model, Mistral Large, available first on Azure AI and the Mistral AI platform, marking a noteworthy expansion of our offerings<\/strong>. Mistral Large is a general-purpose language model that can deliver on any text-based use case thanks to state-of-the-art reasoning and knowledge capabilities. It is proficient in code and mathematics, able to process dozens of documents in a single call, and handles French, German, Spanish, and Italian (in addition to English).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This latest addition of Mistral AI’s premium models into Models as a Service (MaaS) within Azure AI Studio<\/a> and Azure Machine Learning provides Microsoft customers with a diverse selection of the best state-of-the-art and open-source models for crafting and deploying custom AI applications, paving the way for novel AI-driven innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    \u201cWe have tested Mistral Large through the Azure AI Studio in a use case aimed at internal efficiency. The performance was comparable with state-of-the-art models with even better latency. We are looking forward to exploring further this technology in our business.\u201d<\/p>\nPhilippe Rambach, Chief AI Officer, Schneider Electric <\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    “After exploring Mistral Large during its early access period, we’ve been impressed by its performance on medical terminology. As we continue to innovate in healthcare, we’re open to collaborations that can help us and our partners grow together. Mistral AI represents an exciting opportunity for mutual advancement in artificial intelligence, both in France and internationally.”<\/p>\nNacim Rahal, Senior Director, Data and AI, Doctolib<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    \u201cThe Mistral AI models have been crucial in enhancing productivity and collaboration at CMA CGM. Their advanced capabilities have significantly improved the performance of our internal personal assistant, MAIA. Employees are now able to quickly access and engage with information like never before. We are confident that Mistral AI on Azure is the right choice to support our employees and drive innovation across our organization.\u201d <\/p>\nS\u00e9verine Gr\u00e9goire, Head of Digital, Innovation and AI at CMA CGM<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Microsoft is committed to supporting global AI innovation and growth, offering world-class datacenter AI infrastructure, and developing technology securely to empower individuals with the skills they need to leverage AI effectively.
