Mistral Le Chat

Le Chat is Mistral's consumer-facing AI assistant, running on the same open-weight frontier models the company releases publicly. You get a capable chat interface with web search, code execution, image generation, and long-form deep research reports — covering most of what ChatGPT Plus offers at a lower price point. The free tier is genuinely usable, not a demo. The standout differentiator is the privacy mode available on paid plans: your prompts and outputs are not logged or used for model training. That's a concrete, auditable commitment rather than a vague policy footnote — relevant if you're handling client work, internal documents, or anything you'd rather not feed into a US-based training pipeline. Mistral is a French lab, which matters for European teams navigating data residency concerns or who simply prefer not to route sensitive queries through OpenAI or Google infrastructure. The models are competitive on reasoning and coding benchmarks, and because the weights are open, you're not locked into a black-box system.

• Run Mistral's latest frontier models for chat, reasoning, and code — the same weights available for self-hosting.
• Search the live web and generate cited, long-form research reports on complex topics.
• Execute code directly in the interface without leaving the conversation.
• Generate images alongside text in a single workflow.
• Enable no-telemetry mode on paid plans to prevent prompts and outputs from being used in training.
• Access a student pricing tier at $5.99/mo — not just a discount code, a dedicated plan.
• Switch between models in-session to trade off speed, cost, and capability.
