Mistral, a prominent AI startup founded in 2023, has declared its plan to pursue an initial public offering (IPO) rather than a sale. Co-founder CEO Arthur Mensch emphasized this decision during an interview at the World Economic Forum. The company, recognized for developing fast-performing open-source large language models, has raised over €1 billion since its inception. Mistral aims to bolster its presence in Europe and the US and recently signed significant deals, asserting its status as a major competitor to industry leaders like OpenAI.
We are the only European company that is providing what we provide. Being based in Europe brings a lot of strengths, such as a strong talent pool.
Mistral plans to pursue an IPO instead of a sale, reinforcing its commitment to grow independently amid industry consolidation talk.
