法国人工智能初创公司 Mistral AI 在周二的一次活动中，坚定地表达了其对开源的承诺，这是一次在微软巴黎组织的活动。尽管该公司最近与微软合作成立了一家合资企业，专门销售其部分软件，但 Mistral AI 的公共事务主管 Audrey Herblin-Stoop 强调，公司将继续支持开源代码的使用和开发。
这一声明的背景是，美国科技巨头微软关联的 OpenAI，也就是 ChatGPT 的创建者，正面临亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克的诉讼。马斯克指控 OpenAI 违反了其最初的非营利宗旨，即让人工智能研究对所有人开放。作为回应，马斯克宣布他将开源自己的聊天机器人项目 Grok。
Herblin-Stoop 认为，开源对于构建一个能够与美国公司竞争的欧洲人工智能生态系统至关重要。她的话呼应了业界对保持技术开放性和促进创新的呼吁，特别是在人工智能这个快速发展的领域。Mistral AI 的立场表明，即使在商业合作中，该公司也致力于维护开源精神，这可能会为欧洲在人工智能领域的独立发展铺平道路。

Keywords: Mistral AI, Open Source Commitment, Elon Musk Lawsuit
News Content: French AI startup Mistral AI reaffirmed its dedication to open source during an event hosted by Microsoft in Paris on Tuesday. Despite recently forming a joint venture with Microsoft to sell part of its software, Mistral AI’s Public Affairs Director Audrey Herblin-Stoop emphasized that the company will continue to support the use and development of open-source code.
This announcement comes against the backdrop of a lawsuit by billionaire Elon Musk against OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, an affiliate of Microsoft. Musk alleges that OpenAI has strayed from its initial non-profit mission to make AI research accessible to all. In response, Musk announced he would open-source his own chatbot project, Grok.
Herblin-Stoop argues that open source is crucial for building a European AI ecosystem capable of competing with American tech giants. Her stance aligns with industry calls to maintain technological openness and foster innovation, especially in the rapidly evolving field of AI. Mistral AI’s commitment demonstrates that the company is intent on preserving the open-source spirit even within commercial collaborations, potentially paving the way for Europe’s independent development in the AI domain.
