French AI startup Mistral has unveiled its first generative AI models, 'Les Ministraux,' optimized for edge devices like laptops and smartphones. This new model family includes two variants, Ministral 3B and Ministral 8B, capable of processing up to 128,000 tokens. Designed for local, privacy-first applications, these models cater to needs such as on-device translation and autonomous robotics. While the 8B model is available for commercial use, a license is needed for 3B. Developers can also access both models via Mistral’s cloud platform, Le Platforme.
