Mistral AI Launches its Mobile App with Powerful AI Assistant

Mistral AI has just launched new iOS and Android apps for its 'le Chat' assistant.

The assistant comes with web search, document handling, code interpretation, and image generation capabilities, all powered by BFL's Flux Ultra model.

The standout feature, dubbed 'Flash Answers,' claims to deliver responses over 10 times faster than popular rivals ChatGPT and Claude.

Mistral is targeting both individual users and businesses with its new pricing structure. While maintaining a free tier, the company offers Pro access at $14.99 monthly and Team subscriptions at $24.99 per user.

While Mistral may not lead in AI capabilities, its focus on speed and flexible deployment options signals a shift in the AI assistant landscape.

The battle is no longer just about intelligence – it's about practical benefits like performance and business features that could help Mistral attract a wider audience.
