Google Cloud to use Mistral AI code generator for its Vertex AI platform, why it matters

Google Cloud is partnering up with a French AI startup known as Mistral AI for enhancing its Vertex AI platform by integrating Mistral’s code generation model named Codestral into its cloud-based AI service.

“Today, we’re announcing that Google Cloud is the first hyperscaler to introduce Codestral – Mistral AI’s first open-weight generative AI model explicitly designed for code generation tasks — as a fully-managed service,” a Reuters report, which quoted the company’s official statement, read.
