Mistral reports on the environmental impact of LLMs
Our contribution to a global environmental standard for AI At Mistral AI, our mission is to bring artificial intelligence in everyone’s hands. For this purpose, we have consistently advocated for openness in AI, with a unique focus on empowering organizations that want to own their AI future.
