Really solid interview, made me feel hopeful about the future of open source models at Mistral. He also elaborates how they think about model safety. In summary: base model should not have training targeted at safety as it degrades performance, but tools will be provided to make safety filtering on top easier, so users can opt into it. He also hinted at some sort of platform they are building (to actually make money, I guess).

I hope they can keep their current approach. It might be hard as they are VC funded, and as the company grows.

They announced a 70-b beta model which will be offered via Azure (API). I really hope they continue to offer open source models
