This press release is a big change in branding and ethos for Mistral. What was originally a vibey, insurgent contender that put out magnet links is now a PR-crafting team that has to fight to pitch their utility to the public.

I was going to say the same. Incredible to see how quickly Mistral went from “magnet links casually dropped on twitter by their CTO” to “PR blog post without the model weights” in just a year.

Not a good sign at all as it means their investors are already getting nervous.

That's usually the evidence of VCs getting involved. Somber corporate tone proud on accomplishments user will find useful we continue to improve looking to the future and such.
