Will OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft be Overshadowed?

OpenAI、谷歌和微软会黯然失色吗？

The recently unveiled AI model, Mistral 8x7B, appears to have piqued quite a lot of interest within the AI industry. The buzz orchestrated by the 8x7B model emerges as the model recently positioned itself as Europe’s counterpart to AI platforms, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard, among many others.

最近推出的人工智能模型 Mistral 8x7B 似乎引起了人工智能行业的极大兴趣。 8x7B 模型引起的轰动是因为该模型最近将自己定位为欧洲人工智能平台的对应者，例如 OpenAI 的 ChatGPT 和谷歌的 Bard 等。

Amid the heightened scrutiny faced by Microsoft’s OpenAI and Google’s Bard concerning the EU’s new AI law, which is still in legislative pipelines, Mistral AI appears to have gained substantial traction. Although the new model is currently available in its beta stages, a fully functioning model is expected to launch by early 2024.

微软的 OpenAI 和谷歌的 Bard 面临着欧盟新人工智能法（该法仍在立法过程中）的严格审查，Mistral AI 似乎获得了巨大的关注。尽管新模型目前处于测试阶段，但功能齐全的模型预计将在 2024 年初推出。

What’s more is that with the conclusion of the aforestated funding round, accompanied by Mistral’s new AI model, the firm is now emerging as one of the top industries venturing into AI.
