Le Chat is a conversational entry point that allows users to interact with various models from Mistral AI, providing a pedagogical and engaging way to explore the company's cutting-edge technology. The assistant can utilise different models, including:
1. Mistral Large: A high-performance model designed for complex tasks and detailed responses.
2. Mistral Small: A more compact model that balances performance and efficiency for a wide range of applications.
3. Mistral Next (prototype): A model focused on providing brief and concise responses.
One of the key features of le Chat Mistral is its multilingual capabilities, enabling users to interact with the assistant in multiple languages.
Mistral AI states that it is committed to developing models, that are as useful and unbiased as possible. To this end, le Chat incorporates a tunable system-level moderation mechanism that provides non-invasive warnings when the conversation veers towards sensitive or controversial topics. This helps maintain a safe and respectful user experience while adhering to the company's Terms of Service.
Mistral AI is actively seeking feedback from beta users to refine and improve le Chat Mistral. By signing up as an early adopter, users can contribute to the development of the conversational assistant. Users are encouraged to report any quirks, instances where le Chat could reason better, or cases where the assistant's responses could be more helpful or unbiased. This feedback will help Mistral AI continuously monitor the performance of le Chat.
In its current guise, le Chat Mistral cannot access the Internet to engage in discussions, future updates are expected to address these limitations.
