Frequently Asked
Is Mistral AI's work open or closed?
Both — the company releases some models with open weights while also offering closed commercial models like the Mistral Medium and Large series.
What is Mixture-of-Experts and why is Mistral associated with it?
An architecture where only a subset of a model's parameters activate per input, improving efficiency; Mistral's Mixtral was an early influential open-weight example of this approach.
