Mistral has just unveiled iOS and Android apps for its AI chatbot, Le Chat. Previously available only as a web client, Le Chat is now expanding to reach more users. The AI assistant is powered by Mistral’s large language models (LLMs) and offers a range of capabilities like answering queries, web searches, multimodal input, image generation, and even code execution within a secure sandbox.
Subscription Tiers and Unique Features
In addition to the app launch, Mistral has introduced two new subscription options. These tiers provide access to better AI models and higher rate limits. The Pro subscription, priced at $14.99 per month, offers unlimited messages, improved performance, and data privacy features. Meanwhile, the Team plan is aimed at businesses, offering enterprise-level tools at $24.99 per user each month.
Le Chat vs. Competitors
Le Chat competes directly with popular AI assistants like Google’s Gemini, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and Microsoft’s Copilot. While these chatbots offer similar features, Mistral’s focus is on speed and quality. The company claims that its AI is the fastest in the industry, capable of generating up to 1,000 words per second. Our tests confirmed that Le Chat responds faster than ChatGPT and Gemini.
AI-Driven Image Generation and Enterprise Focus
One standout feature of Le Chat is its high-quality image generation. Using the Black Forest Labs Flux Ultra model, it creates photorealistic images that closely follow prompts. Although subjective, we found the output to be impressive. Moreover, Mistral offers a secure enterprise solution, allowing businesses to deploy Le Chat locally and connect to custom tools. This offering is part of the private preview for Le Chat Enterprise.
A New Era of AI Assistance
With its unique features, Mistral’s Le Chat app is now a strong competitor in the AI space. Users can enjoy faster responses, high-quality image generation, and tailored enterprise solutions. The introduction of new subscription tiers adds flexibility for users, making it an exciting option for both individuals and businesses.
