Artificial intelligence chip company Cerebras Systems has reached a cooperation with French open source AI technology company Mistral to promote the development of AI assistants through technological innovation. This collaboration not only helped Mistral create a new speed record, but also demonstrated Cerebras' strong strength in the field of AI computing.
Artificial intelligence chip company Cerebras Systems announced a partnership with French open source AI technology company Mistral on Thursday, helping the latter set a new speed record. Mistral aims to compete with open source competitors such as Meta and China’s DeepSeek, which shocked the global market last month with low-cost and superior performance technologies. All three companies are competing with OpenAI, a developer of ChatGPT.
In this collaboration, Mistral launched an app called "Le Chat", claiming it can respond to user questions at a rate of 1,000 words per second. Cerebras said it provides computing power for the achievement, saying Mistral has become the world's fastest AI assistant, surpassing OpenAI and DeepSeek.
Silicon Valley-based Cerebras is seeking an initial public offering (IPO), but the plan has now been put on hold as the U.S. government is reviewing investments by UAE tech group G42 in the company. Cerebras is one of the few companies that can compete with Nvidia, which dominates the training of AI models. However, this collaboration with Mistral is primarily aimed at serving applications based on their models, a step called “reasoning” in the AI industry.
As competitors gradually approach OpenAI's technology, the speed of providing answers to users is becoming increasingly important. "You want to get better answers. To get better answers, you need more computing power when reasoning," said Andrew Feldman, CEO of Cerebras. He also stressed that this is Cerebras with top-tier The team is very proud of the first major victory of the model manufacturer’s collaboration.
Key points:
Cerebras has reached a partnership with Mistral to help it launch the world's fastest AI assistant, "Le Chat".
Mistral's application can achieve response speeds of 1,000 words per second, surpassing OpenAI and DeepSeek.
Cerebras is seeking an IPO, but plans are temporarily shelved because of a scrutiny of investment in G42.
This cooperation marks a major breakthrough in AI technology in the field of reasoning and is expected to further promote the development of the industry in the future.
