Mistral AI – #1 in Most Interesting AI Companies – #1 Mistral AI

August 26th, 2024
Kicking off our series on Most Interesting AI Companies with Mistral AI because they are a Unicorn among Unicorns

Why Mistral is a Unicorn among Unicorns
1. Insane Speed of Fundraising
2. Based in France, in a world where AI startups seem to only choose US or China
3. Going up against the Leaders. An absurdly hard task given the first mover advantage and insane amount of money the leaders already have
4. Being able to compete with the Big Boys so far (here is to hoping they can keep making things interesting). It is remarkable that a company founded on April 28th, 2023 is a frontrunner in AI services
5. Actually Open Source, not just in name
6. Very Interesting Products. Relentlessly adding new and improved products
7. No Drama. No fighting with World governments over retina scanning. No boardroom drama. It’s almost as if they are happy being an AI company
8. Undercutting the leader on pricing, albeit slightly. This is a very smart tactic as they are still priced well, just a bit lower than the current leader
All the drama and stupidity we see with the Big Technology companies makes it very refreshing when an AI startup focuses on just the technology.

Mistral’s Unique Challenges

Normal Startup Challenges
1. How to raise enough money to compete against the market leader
2. How to get to profitability and maintain profitability
3. How to do all of this in Europe which is nowhere as startup friendly as the United States
4. How to hire and retain the best, when some competitors are better funded
5. How to hire and retain the best, when some very large technology companies are offering absurdly high salaries to AI engineers
6. How to convince the best AI engineers to move to France (not counting some very good ones already in the Paris area and in France)
7. What products to build
8. How to get breakthroughs in AI research and development while still keeping the Commercial Product Pipeline going
9. How best to utilize funds that are raised
10. What products to build and how to evolve the product offering
Special AI Geopolitical Challenges
1. How to handle US interference as Mistral AI is in France and it becoming the world leader in any facet of AI would be considered a big threat to US hegemony
2. How to handle Chinese interference as, again, Mistral AI becoming the world leader in any facet of AI would be a big threat to China’s plans of world dominance
3. How to handle data related challenges. All the large countries now want to keep their citizens’ data within the country itself
4. How to handle espionage and spying as many of the employees are from the large US technology companies and might be, or could be, compromised by spy agencies
5. How to handle cyber attacks by Governments and Government funded hacker groups
6. How to keep the tecnology and trade secrets safe when many countries would consider Mistal AI technology a ‘must have for national interests’
It is interesting to note that Mistral AI, by locating in France, have opened up a Pandora’s Box of troubles for themselves

This might work, as the added pressure and threats might help them evolve faster and better and create better AI technology.

It might also backfire, as we are seeing what has been done/is being done to TikTok and Telegram for the unforgivable sin of successfully competing with US based companies (Which have always had the backing of the US Government – It is only now that is has become so painfully obvious that the game is rigged in favor of US technology companies).

The Not-So-Obvious Challenges
1. [Bringing this up again, because this is absolutely critical] From what has been happening to TikTok and Telegram’s Pavel Durov it should be obvious that any non US company will be heavily attacked by all means possible. Given the strategic importance of AI to America, it is a sort of madness that Mistral located themselves in France, instead of Silicon Valley or New York
2. Amount of Risk Mistral is taking on, is not something Europe or France are used to. Will there be investors with a higher risk threshold as Mistral AI need more money down the line?
3. Nearly all the Best AI Talent is still in America and China. It is one thing to relocate from Seattle to San Francisco. It is a much bigger move to relocate from America/China to France
  - Side Note: France isn’t really endearing itself to technology workers by arresting Telegram’s CEO on what seem to be rather flimsy charges
4. The sheer amount of money the large tech companies have. At some level, none of the AI startups can compete with Apple, Microsoft, Google in the long term. Until and unless the AI startups make some big AI technology breakthrough or hit massive profitability they are fighting against massive odds
5. The sheer amount of Governmental support the large tech companies have. We see a pattern of Governments letting large tech companies do relentless anti trust and illegal tactics. Then pay a fine and continue to do illegal things to smaller technology companies. It is not an exaggeration to say that Mistral will face many illegal attacks from the large tech companies (it might already be)
Mistral’s Insane Funding History

Mistral has raised money at an almost unprecedented rate, since being founded in April 2023
1. Seed Funding -> June 2023 -> 105 million Euros ($117 Million Dollars) raised at a valuation of roughly 240 million Euros ($267 Million Dollars)
  - Investors -> Lightspeed Venture Partners, Redpoint, Index Ventures, Eric Schmidt (former Google CEO), Xavier Niel, JCDecaux Holding, Rodolphe Saade and Motier Ventures and Bpifrance from France, La Famiglia and Headline from Germany, Exor Ventures from Italy, Sofina from Belgium, First Minute Capital and LocalGlobe from UK
2. Series A -> December 10th, 2024 -> 385 Million Euros ($428 Million Dollars) at a valuation of $2 Billion
  - Investors -> Andreessen Horowitz, BNP Paribas, Salesforce
  - Additional Investors -> Still researching
3. Series B -> June 11th, 2024 -> 600 Million Euros ($640 Million Dollars) in a mix of Equity & Debt (468 Million Euros Equity + 132 Million Euros Debt) at a valuation of $6 Billion
  - Investors -> General Catalyst led the round. The list of investors includes previous investors and some new ones such as DST (Yuri Milner), Nvidia, Samsung Venture Investment Corporation, Belfius, Bertelsmann Investment, Cisco, Eurazeo, Hanwha Asset Management’s Venture Fund, IBM, Korelya Capital, Latitude, Milennium New Horizons, Sanabil Investments, ServiceNow, and SV Angel
Please Note: There were lots of rumors of SoftBank wanting to invest in Mistral AI. So far, that has not happened. We do expect SoftBank to jump in, sooner rather than later.

Super Rough Cap Table + Funding Details

How much equity did Mistral give up on its manic fund raising spree?

Seed -> 43.46% of the company for $113 Million USD at a valuation of $260 Million
Series A -> 21.4% of the company for $428 Million at a valuation of perhaps $2 billion
Series B -> 10.67% of the company for $600 Million USD at a valuation of $6 Billion

Equity Given Up -> 75.55% for $1.141 Billion. So the super-fast fund raising has come at the cost of giving up a rather large amount of equity for the first $1.141 Billion in funding
Left -> 24.45% with Co-Founders and Employees

Please Note: These are estimates based on reports. These might be inaccurate.

The CEO, Arthur Mensch, has said that the founders still have complete control. The Founders perhaps have special class of shares with higher voting rights and likely have over 50% voting rights. This is how the Meta/Facebook founder and the Google co-founders maintained their control of their respective companies.

What makes Mistral very Interesting to DealAI

Firstly, choosing France and foregoing the protection and hidden benefits of choosing America or China

Secondly, the complete and utter lack of Drama. No trying to scan irises. No Board trying to fire CEO

Thirdly, DealAI wanting the underdog to win. All the odds seem stacked against Mistral AI and that makes them a great story

Fourthly, wanting a massive technology company in Europe. There have been close to zero massive technology companies in the last few decades that have not been American or Chinese or Indian companies. Europe has been a wasteland (sorry, Adyen)

Fifthly, they are actually Open Source and not just ‘Open’ in name

Can Mistral take on American and Chinese AI Companies & Startups?

Yes and No

Yes, Mistral AI have shown the ability to take on the US and Chinese AI Companies

No, as the US Government will ensure that an AI company in France does not become the #1 AI company. It might even attack Mistral heavily to prevent it from becoming a Top 5 player in AI

China will perhaps take the approach of hacking and stealing Mistral AI’s technology, or building upon it. In the long run, China too will go out of its way to prevent Mistral from becoming a Top 5 Player in AI

Might Mistral be the Big Winner in AI?

Yes, as crazy as it seems, we do think Mistral has a non trivial chance of becoming the Big Winner in AI

Might Mistral be one of the Top 5/Top 10 Winners in AI?

Yes, this is actually very likely.

At that stage, we will begin to see lots of attacks by both America and China on Mistral.

If Europe realizes the strategic importance of AI and puts its weight behind Mistral, then it would be a very interesting Europa Vs America and Europe vs China battle, with Mistral AI right in the middle of it.

Who are the Co Founders of Mistral?

Mistral has 3 co-founders
1. Arthur Mensch – generally the ‘face’ of the company
2. Guillaume Lample
3. Timothee Lacroix
They have roughly 10 years experience each in AI and Machine Learning. Mensch worked at Google DeepMind and Lample and Lacroix worked at Meta Platforms. They met while students in college.

Which Investment Funds and Venture Capitalists and Investors have funded Mistral?

Seed Round -> Lightspeed Venture Partners, Redpoint, Index Ventures, Eric Schmidt (former Google CEO), Xavier Niel, JCDecaux Holding, Rodolphe Saade and Motier Ventures and Bpifrancefrom France, La Famiglia and Headline from Germany, Exor Ventures from Italy, Sofina from Belgium, First Minute Capital and LocalGlobe from UK

Series A -> Andreessen Horowitz, BNP Paribas, Salesforce. Please Note: This list is incomplete

Series B -> General Catalyst led the round. The list of investors includes previous investors and some new ones such as DST (Yuri Milner), Nvidia, Samsung Venture Investment Corporation, Belfius, Bertelsmann Investment, Cisco, Eurazeo, Hanwha Asset Management’s Venture Fund, IBM, Korelya Capital, Latitude, Milennium New Horizons, Sanabil Investments, ServiceNow, and SV Angel

What does Mistral’s strategy seem to be?

To Be Updated. We are still figuring out exactly what Mistral AI’s full strategy is. We will update this post when we have figured it out

Where does the name ‘Mistral’ come from?

Mistral is a cold and dry wind in the South of France that blows through the province of Provence.

It generally leads to good weather.

It can blow any time of the year. Sometimes it blows for a few days and sometimes for up to a week. Speeds are pretty high with 30 miles per hour to 60 miles per hour.

Please see the Encyclopedia Britannica link below for some very interesting information. It’s a fascinating wind, this Mistral.

When the Big Big Big AI Breakthrough comes, it could be ANYWHERE

August 25th, 2024

One of the key facts that people seem to be missing is

No one knows Where the Big AI Breakthrough will happen, or who will make it/luck into it

Yes, America and China are investing the most. Yes, large tech companies are investing 100s of times more than startups can even afford to

At the same time

No one can guarantee they will be the ones to make the breakthrough

The Big Big Big AI Breakthrough could come from ANYWHERE, from ANYONE
Why are the large Tech Companies investing so much into AI?

August 25th, 2024

For anyone not enthralled by AI, perhaps the most bizarre thing going on is the absolutely massive investment into AI Infrastructure by the large tech companies

If you have not yet drunk the AI Kool-Aid, then the amount of money being poured into AI by Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon, etc is just absurd.

Last Quarter (2nd Quarter of 2024) the Large Tech Companies had over $100 billion R&D investment in AI

$100 billion in a single quarter

The large Tech Companies sure think that whoever doesn’t win the AI race is toast. Perhaps it is something else.

I – If you think AI is the Next Big Thing, you must Invest

If a company believes AI is the Next Big Thing, there is no choice other than to invest. They might not win. However, they will at least not be too far behind. Additionally, AI is the kind of technology that might apply to EVERYTHING. So investing of any kind might pay off

If a company believes AI MIGHT be the Next Big Thing, the company is still forced to invest as if it is 100% The Next Big Thing

II – If you have loads of Money and loads of Profit, where else are you going to Invest

The amount of profits the large companies are making are absurd – $2 billion a month, $5 billion a month, $7 billion a month.

There is no new technology as interesting or promising as AI.

Justice Department & FTC have made acquisitions difficult. Leaving even fewer ways to leverage the growing cash hoard of the large tech companies.

AI is the safest place to invest. AI has become the new IBM. Just like no one ever gets fired for buying IBM. No Company or CEO ever gets punished for investing in AI.

III – If you don’t invest in AI, and you are wrong, you are left behind

Let’s say 2 of the large tech companies don’t invest in AI. The rest do. Then AI turns out to indeed be the biggest and most life-changing event of our lifetimes. The 2 companies that did not invest in AI will be completely wiped out. This might seem an exaggeration. However, it is not

Even super safe ‘moat’ companies like Amazon are being threatened by Temu and Shein. Supposedly untouchable companies like Meta have to use politicians to fight off TikTok.

AI will give AI specialized companies such a massive advantage that non AI companies simply won’t be able to keep up.

That is one of the beautiful things about AI. It provides an insurmountable advantage when it works. The ‘when it works’ part is crucial. When AI works, then it just blows the pants off of all competition.

Every large tech company must invest heavily in AI, because if they don’t they face extinction IN CASE AI does turn out to be everything it is hyped to be (or even 25% of the hype).

IV – AI is the magic word for increasing stock price and company valuation, so you must show AI investment

The stock market is richly rewarding companies for investing in AI.

So that $100 billion investment into AI by Big Tech Companies is showing up as stock price increases and company valuation increases.

Furthermore, companies that don’t invest in AI are being punished by the stock market.

So, at some level, large tech companies don’t have a choice. The capital markets are commanding them to invest in AI.

V – There might be Directives from the US Government and US Government Agencies to Invest

[Totally A Wild Ass Guess] As AI is now a China vs America vs Large Tech Companies War, it is not a huge stretch to believe that the US Government and many US Government Agencies are pushing the large technology companies to invest very heavily in AI.

If AI turns out to be a super transformational technology, then AI advancements are necessary for warfare, spying, intelligence gathering, and many other aspects.

Russia vs Ukraine is showing this – AI is going to dictate the course of a lot of future wars.

It is almost certain that the US Government is pushing the large technology companies to invest heavily in AI. Any sensible government would do so.

VI – Chinese companies and many other countries are investing, so you must invest to not get left behind

A lot of America’s standing is based on the advancements by Microsoft and Apple, and then by companies such as Google, Meta, Nvidia, etc

If China wins the AI war, then not only will China become the next sole world super power, Chinese technology companies will take over from the large US technology companies.

The large American technology companies absolutely must invest massively in AI to match the Chinese government’s massive investments into Chinese AI startups.
Saudi AI Ambition + Saudi caught between America and China

August 25th, 2024

‘To the Future’: Saudi Arabia Spends Big to Become an A.I. Superpower – The New York Times (nytimes.com)

This is a very interesting post. It is absolutely fascinating how the Middle East countries are confused, or perhaps super brilliant, in deciding whether to support America or China in the AI Wars.

To Be America’s Ally, or to be China’s Ally – That is the Question

Saudi Arabia’s solution for the moment seems to be – Why not both?

It’s a smart bet, as it is not clear at all whether America or China (or someone else, perhaps even a large tech company) will become the Winner in the AI Wars

We predict that the Saudis will start making bigger bets and start investing in specific technology companies and specific AI startups while still appeasing both America and China.
What is the Future of AI?

August 25th, 2024
We currently have people in 3 camps, as to the Future of AI
1. The first category are people who think AI will take over Everything. The way the Internet took over (and is still taking over) everything
  - This includes the large technology companies who are spending roughly $100 billion a quarter in AI capital expenditure
  - This includes people in certain professions such as doctors, lawyers, Data Analysts, etc who are seeing their work life transformed by AI
  - This includes college and school students who are basically ‘AI’ing all their homework assignments and hoping the AI companies don’t release an AI plagiarism checker
2. The second category are people who think AI is overhyped
  - This includes people burned by things like chatbots and NFTs and VR sets and self driving cars (not literally, we don’t mean literally, don’t mean to hurt anyone’s feelings)
  - This includes people who, accurately, don’t YET see a ‘killer use’ of AI for every day people
  - This includes people who look at AI as just a means of pumping up large tech companies (especially Nvidia) and propping up the US stock market
3. The third category are people who have absolutely no clue what to think, or don’t even know what is going on with AI
  - This is the most interesting group because whether or not they embrace AI will determine whether AI does indeed become the next world changer
What does DealAI think about The Future of AI?

There are two very conflicting realities

The first reality is that the amount of R&D investment into AI by countries (USA, China, Middle East, etc) and companies (Big Tech, Chinese Big Tech) suggests that AI is here to stay and will indeed transform everything. You have to follow the money and the amount of investment into AI, by people with the most data and knowledge, suggests AI really is the next big game changer

The second reality is that all the countries and companies investing big into AI really NEED and WANT AI to become the next big thing
1. For the countries (especially US and China) it would solve all their economic bubble issues. If AI really transformed things then all their economic sins would be hidden and perhaps even fixed
2. For the large tech companies (especially Google and Facebook and Apple and Amazon (perhaps Amazon most of all)) AI would provide the next big growth area and a justification for their valuations
So, how do we differentiate between these two realities?

There is no easy answer

The Decline and Fall of the American Empire Versus AI as the Solution to Resurrect the American Empire

Ray Dalio has an absolutely fascinating video on the Decline and Fall of Empires ->

There can be little doubt to anyone paying close attention that the American Empire is indeed in slow decline. Perhaps the biggest indicator is that Americans are being turned into wage slaves, debt slaves, and rent slaves. Hardly the type of life befitting the citizens of an Empire.

AI is exceedingly crucial for America as if AI really is the once in a lifetime transformational technology that it promises to be, America can use AI to fully revive its Empire and extend the empire by 100 to 200 years.

The importance of this cannot be understated. The only path to America extending its empire, without a series of bloody world wars, is for AI (or another super transformational technology such as Nuclear Fusion) to happen and America to have control of this new technology

So, what is the Future of AI?

We don’t know the answer. What we do know is that

If AI really is as transformational as people are hoping, then whichever country captures AI will become the next Sole SuperPower and control the world for 100 to 200 years

This is not just a technology. This is the determinant of the Next Global Empire.

Perhaps it will be America extending their current Empire for another 100 to 200 years via AI.

Perhaps it will take a century to truly play out, and in that case, any of USA, China, India, the Middle East, or a wild card country or even a large Technology Company could become the next Massive Sole Super Power

Most countries already realize this and are already protecting their data and their citizens (or beginning to). The stage is set for the AI Wars, and the Winner will/could/should control the entire world for the next 100 to 200 years.
Talent War for AI is the Craziest Talent War Elon Musk has even seen

April 4th, 2024
Please Note: We do not support (or attack) Elon Musk. This post is based on Musk being in the unique position of needing to retain Tesla AI engineers whilst OpenAI tries to steal them. He is well placed to make his claim of ‘Talent War for AI is the Craziest Talent War he has ever seen’.

Bloomberg -> Elon Musk Says He’s Boosting Tesla (TSLA) Pay Amid Talent War With OpenAI – Bloomberg

Elon Musk says that Tesla has over 200 excellent engineers in the Tesla AI/Autonomy Team.

Bloomberg and others are reporting that OpenAI is targeting these Engineers with MASSIVE compensation packages. Tesla has increased compensation (contingent on progress milestones).

DealAI’s Thoughts

Tesla is struggling. Tesla’s car deliveries missed analyst estimates by a considerable margin (last quarter). BYD is really ramping up and there is only so long Western Media can pretend BYD does not exist.

To make things worse, Elon Musk has brought his personal politics and turned Tesla into an interesting conundrum for most environment-loving people. They want to buy a Tesla but don’t support Elon Musk’s political beliefs or his boorish behavior.

OpenAI, on the other hand, is selling their AI vision/dream very well. Altman is talking about raising Trillions, building chip factories, and all kinds of ‘I’m the new Elon Musk who can sell anyone to anything’ stuff.

Musk attacked OpenAI and OpenAI is fighting back

It’s not a surprise at all, given
1. Musk attacking OpenAI’s move to becoming a Profit Centric company
2. Musk starting xAI
That OpenAI think it’s imperative to steal as many Tesla AI engineers and scientists as it can.

This is going to be very interesting to watch. OpenAI can offer crazy salaries and massive stock upside potential. Tesla cannot.

Musk’s new AI company, xAI, might. However, Musk has been reluctant to IPO any of his non-Tesla companies. He probably wants to avoid getting cellarboxed by Wall Street.

CellarBoxed – Short and Distort to Drive a company’s price into the cellar, thereby making it impossible for the company to raise capital.

OpenAI has the upper hand, for the forseeable future

OpenAI basically will be able to steal a lot of Tesla talent. Wonder how many Tesla AI engineers disagree with Elon Musk’s personal politics and are just waiting for the right offer.
AI Company Covariant is building a new AI Platform for Robots

March 11th, 2024
Source (Techcrunch): Covariant is building ChatGPT for robots | TechCrunch

Techmeme is highlighting this article from TechCrunch. Covariant seems an interesting company.

It just shared details about RFM-1, a Large Language Model (LLM) which allows Robots to ask for instructions for tasks they cannot complete on their own.
1. RFM-1 features 8 billion parameters
2. Their LLM can generate videos of robots performing tasks. These videos can somehow enable robots to do the actions/plan the actions?
  - Not very clear how everything works
3. Covariant says their Model is built using Robots in actual production environments and is therefore better than Robot LLMs built using in-lab robots
  - Sounds like a valid point
More details on Covariant ->
1. Covariant is a UC Berkley spinoff -> https://covariant.ai/
2. Founded in 2017
3. Building Robots with the Ability to see, think and act
4. Building an AI Platform that will allow Robots to think like humans (there goes your workplace productivity)
5. Already chosen as AI Robotics Platform of choice by ABB, KNAPP, Bastian (3 large warehouse integrators)
6. Backed by Temasek (Singapore Sovereign Wealth Fund), Index Ventures, Amplify, Northgate, AIX Ventures, Radical Ventures, and CPP Investments
7. Locations include Emeryville, California, USA and Shenzhen, China
8. Lots of Open Positions including Head of Robotics Software (a bit of a worrying sign if you’re building an AI Platform for Robots but don’t have a Head of Robotics Software)
Covariant Ratings

My quick ratings
1. Product Market Fit – 9/10. Seems immense
2. Funding – 10/10. Lots of Funding and strong backers
3. Interestingness – 10/10. Might be biased as Robots are cool and there doesn’t seem to be as much work in the area of AI for Robots as there should be
4. Team – Incomplete. They certainly don’t make it easy to find out more about their team. Will update if I can get more details
5. Competition & Competitive Advantages – Incomplete. Sorry, don’t know enough about their competitors yet, to rate them on this

DealAI.com Commitment – Only Human Written Content. Absolutely ZERO AI Generated Written Content

March 7th, 2024

It would be quite funny for an AI blog focused on a Human perspective of AI to use AI generated content. Perhaps even unethical.

So we are making a commitment that DealAI.com will NEVER have any AI generated written content.

What about AI generated images and videos? We might share some as Examples. In general we will avoid AI generated images and videos. In some cases we might unknowingly use or share images and videos generated by AI.
