Umm, some personal news?

interesting timing for me to become CMO of Mistral this week. They make AI, it is not from the US, and it is open weights (among other things). The kinda stuff companies and governments will find really interesting to bet on right now...

We somehow got put in the spotlight the last few days! First we'd like to thank the organizers of the AI show for that, we can't get enough of this stuff. I'll say a few things about where we are and what we do.
