So maybe we can start with you telling the audience a little bit about Mistral and about your role there, uh, from the beginning as co-founder and, of course, the CTO.

Sure.

Um, so we started Mistral about two and a half, um, years ago, um, with, uh, Guillaume and Arthur.

And at the start, we were all three of us fresh off our researcher's role, uh, in big tech, and what we knew how to build were models.

And so that was, uh, what we started with, and we showed the world that we knew how to train models, that we could be efficient, uh, with the infrastructure, uh, and that we could deliver high-quality models that we decided to release open source.

So that's-- that was our, our claim to fame.
1:22
Um, but our goal, uh, as an enter- as a company was to, uh, provide the value of these models to enterprise.
