Mistral AI's Medium 3.5 Release Draws Skepticism Over Pricing and Performance

Mistral AI released Mistral Medium 3.5, a 128-billion-parameter model with agentic features, on April 29.

Despite backlash, Mistral positions itself as the only non-Chinese open-weight model with enterprise appeal for European GDPR compliance and self-hosting.
