Mistral targets enterprise AI with Le Chat Enterprise
French AI startup Mistral is making a bold move into the enterprise AI space with the launch of Le Chat Enterprise, a ChatGPT-style assistant designed specifically for businesses that demand privacy, customization, and seamless integration across workflows. Powered by Mistral Medium 3, the company’s latest proprietary model, Le Chat Enterprise offers high performance at a fraction of the cost of larger competitors like GPT-4o and Claude 3.7 Sonnet.
Built for Enterprise, Not Just Users
Unlike generic AI assistants, Le Chat Enterprise is tailored to the unique needs of modern businesses. It supports:
- Enterprise-grade search across private data sources (e.g., Google Drive, SharePoint, Gmail) with strong privacy controls
- Custom connectors and no-code agents for automating business processes
- Document summarization and citation tools, ideal for research-heavy industries
- Hybrid deployment, including public cloud, private VPCs, and on-premises options
- Full audit logging and role-based access controls to meet compliance standards in regulated industries
Crucially, businesses retain full ownership of their data and can deeply customize the assistant's behavior, UI, and model stack—free from vendor lock-in.
A Competitive Edge in Performance and Cost
At the heart of Le Chat Enterprise is Mistral Medium 3, a new performance-optimized model designed for enterprise environments. It hits more than 90% of Claude Sonnet’s benchmark performance while costing significantly less—just $0.40 per million input tokens and $20.80 per million output tokens.
On key coding benchmarks like HumanEval and MultiPL-E, Medium 3 meets or exceeds the results of GPT-4o and Claude Sonnet, making it especially appealing for software development and IT use cases. In head-to-head evaluations, it beats Meta’s LLaMA 4 Maverick in over 80% of programming tasks and surpasses other leading models in multiple languages and document-oriented AI tasks.
Strategic Advantage: Privacy, Deployment, and EU Roots
Mistral’s European base gives it a competitive edge, especially for businesses cautious about data governance and geopolitical implications. With its compliance to GDPR and alignment with the EU AI Act, Le Chat Enterprise is positioned as a trustworthy alternative to offerings from U.S. or Chinese firms.
Its hybrid deployment model ensures compatibility with enterprise IT strategies, whether they involve public cloud (Google Cloud, Azure, AWS), on-premise hosting, or regulated sector constraints.
Available Now — With More to Come
Le Chat Enterprise is available now via chat.mistral.ai, and can also be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play. It’s already listed in the Google Cloud Marketplace, with launches on Azure AI and AWS Bedrock coming soon.
In parallel, Mistral is enhancing its Le Chat Pro and Team plans for individuals and smaller teams, all benefiting from Medium 3’s efficiency and accuracy.
Bottom Line
With Le Chat Enterprise and Mistral Medium 3, Mistral is positioning itself not just as an open-source darling but as a serious player in the enterprise AI market. The offering combines cost-efficiency, robust privacy, and customizability, aimed squarely at companies ready to scale their AI adoption without compromising control or compliance.
