France’s Mistral unveils its first ‘reasoning’ AI model

French artificial intelligence startup Mistral on Tuesday announced a so-called “reasoning” model it said was capable of working through complex problems, following in the footsteps of top US developers.

Available immediately on the company’s platforms as well as the AI platform Hugging Face, the Magistral “is designed to think things through — in ways familiar to us,” Mistral said in a blog post.
