It's a shame they couldn't find another business model. I've found a lot of value in Mistral, but none of the raw models were what worked for me. The models I've been using were derived from mistral... but it was the open source community that made it useful.

Did they try to find another business model or just take a bribe from Microsoft to close down their models? Their pricing (when factoring in tokenization) is more or less the same as GPT-4-turbo for worse models. This seems like a pretty clear cut case of market manipulation and I’d be surprised if they don’t run afoul of EU regulators, since they also were the beneficiaries of various forms of state support.
