A few weeks after the initial release of the AI assistant of Mistral, the cat, the company said the Parisian that he has reached a million downloads. In particular, the cat quickly reached first place for free downloads on the IOS App store in the country of origin of the company, in France.
“Go download the cat, which is done by Mistral, rather than by Chatgpt by Openai – or something else,” said French president Emmanuel Macron in a television interview before the recent AI action in Paris.
Of course, it is not the first AI application that took off. In November 2023, Openai caused a sensation with her chatbot ai, chatgpt. Although it was initially limited to iOS users in the United States, it managed to attract 500,000 downloads in just six days. (According to the latest appfigures metrics, Chatgpt has now been downloaded 350 million times.)
Between January 10 and 31, the AI mobile application of the AI Player Deepseek also recorded a million downloads. But it was only the beginning, because the Chinese application became viral at the end of January – attracting millions of additional new users in just a few days.
Mistral is also faced with competition from large veterans technology companies. The tastes of Google and Microsoft also want to participate in the AI AI AI race and capture a place on your phone’s home screen, starting with Google’s Gemini and Microsoft’s co -pilot.
