French AI start-up Mistral has partnered with Cerebras Systems, an artificial intelligence chip firm backed by UAE tech conglomerate G42, to power the launch of its new AI assistant Le Chat, which claims to be the world’s fastest, delivering 1,000 words per second.
Mistral – a maker of open-source AI technology – is aiming to challenge fellow open-source contenders Meta Platforms and China's DeepSeek, which rocked global markets late last month with claims of cutting-edge performance at low cost.
