That sounds like bad news. Mistral has been the leading privacy-focused LLM company providing open source models. Apple prioritizes privacy, but their walled-garden strategy is comlpetely opposed to what Mistral has been doing. The acquisition of Mistral, potentially ending their open source innovations, would make the LLM marketplace worse-off overall.

Could a Mistral acquisition signal Apple realizes open source AI is a major selling proposition for their premium hardware? Seems like it could be a good thing if Mistral “rubs off” on Apple

Weird headline. Mistral is only mentioned in one sentence, and from the surrounding links it appears that the only source is that the author suggested it.
