In a landmark move with far-reaching implications, the European Union has reached a historic agreement on the world’s first comprehensive artificial intelligence (AI) regulation. This ambitious legislation, dubbed the “AI Act,” paves the way for ethical and responsible AI development while minimizing the potential risks of this transformative technology.

The EU was ahead of the game when it released its initial AI rulebook in 2021, but the rise of generative AI caused officials to update their proposal.

French startup Mistral AI has released its new language model Mixtral 8x7B via a torrent link. Mixtral is a mixture-of-experts model, following an architecture that OpenAI is rumored to be using for GPT-4, but on a much larger scale.

There are no benchmarks, blog posts, or articles about the model yet, but Mistral-7B — the first version of Mistral AI — generally performed very well and was quickly adopted by the open-source community. Mistral is thought to have used the MegaBlocks MoE library for training. The Paris-based company was recently valued at nearly $2 billion.
