The French AI company Mistral just introduced Medium 3, a powerful yet budget-friendly artificial intelligence model, along with a specialized business solution called Le Chat Enterprise. This new system competes with leading models such as Claude 3.7 Sonnet, GPT-4o, and Llama 4 Maverick in performance while slashing expenses by eight times.
Designed for workplaces, the enterprise version connects seamlessly with popular tools like Google Drive and SharePoint, offering tailored agent creation, organized document storage, and additional corporate-focused functions. Deployment choices include public or private cloud setups as well as local installations, all backed by rigorous privacy safeguards.
Mistral also suggested its Large model might soon be available as open-source, though Medium remains proprietary for the time being. While Medium 3 delivers impressive results at a fraction of the price, it doesn’t quite reach the pinnacle of current AI capabilities—keeping attention fixed on the forthcoming Large version.
Organizations with stringent security needs, particularly those navigating EU data rules, may find this platform especially compelling.
