Microsoft tags partnership with Mistral AI for Azure AI

Microsoft today announced a multi-year partnership with Mistral AI, a generative AI company. Unlike OpenAI which is integrated for Microsoft’s consumer-based product, Mistral AI is used for Azure products.

This partnership will enable Microsoft to use Mistral AI in Azure’s AI infrastructure and deployment of next-gen large language models (LLMs).

Mistral AI will pave the way for Azure AI to develop better solutions and improve its performance for supercomputing infrastructure.

It can perform programming and mathematics and process dozens of documents at once. It also supports several languages other than English.
