Mistral AI, France’s open-source answer to OpenAI, plans to go public instead of being acquired. “We are not for sale,” CEO and co-founder Arthur Mensch told Bloomberg TV Tuesday (Jan. 21). There had been speculation that the startup would be acquired by Microsoft, in part due to a partnership and the tech giant’s investment of 15 million euros ($15.6 million) in Mistral.
