Mistral AI Enhances Le Chat: Launches Mobile Apps and Free Tools
The French AI firm Mistral AI is updating its assistant Le Chat with faster text generation and free tools, including a code interpreter and Canvas. The launch also includes new mobile apps for iOS and Android.
What happened?
French AI developer Mistral AI has implemented a major update to its AI assistant, Le Chat, and launched mobile applications for iOS and Android. A key feature is 'Flash Answers,' which delivers text at speeds of up to approximately 1,000 words (or tokens) per second. Additionally, a new code interpreter has been introduced, operating within an isolated sandbox environment for calculations and data simulations.
Key facts
| Lanseringsdatum | 7 februari 2025 |
|---|---|
| Genereringshastighet | Upp till ~1 000 tokens/sekund |
| Mobilplattformar | iOS och Android |
”Le Chats resonemang, reflektion och svarshastighet överträffar alla andra chattassistenter och kan nå upp till ~1000 ord per sekund.”
Why it matters
Mistral AI is now offering advanced features free of charge within Le Chat, including a code interpreter, image generation, document and image analysis, web search, and the Canvas workspace. Several of these capabilities require paid subscriptions from competitors such as OpenAI. This free access and high response speed position Le Chat as a direct challenger to ChatGPT and Claude in the consumer market.
Who is affected?
The update concerns both private individuals and developers seeking a fast, cost-free AI assistant. Businesses and organisations are also affected as Mistral AI prepares for the launch of a specific enterprise version capable of running on private infrastructure.
Impact on the EU
Mistral AI is based in France and therefore operates in compliance with EU data protection and artificial intelligence regulations, including GDPR and forthcoming provisions of the EU AI Act. The company offers paying users and prospective enterprise customers the option to opt out of having their data used for model training.
What else you should know
With this update, Mistral AI joins the ranks of providers offering an integrated interface with advanced coding and writing tools directly in the browser and on mobile devices. The launch places further pressure on both OpenAI and Anthropic to deliver faster response times and more generous free offerings.
