Mistral AI has launched a new free tier for developers to fine-tune and build test apps with its AI models.
The startup has also reduced prices for developers to access its AI models through API endpoints and added image processing to its free consumer AI chatbot, le Chat.
The new free tier on Mistral's API-serving platform, la Plateforme, allows developers to experiment and prototype with AI models at no cost.
Mistral aims to attract developers with its free tier, streamline the hosting infrastructure, and upsell them on higher rate limits for production use.
