The Mistral AI Non-Production License

Mistral AI · 2 years ago

Mistral AI introduced a new non-production license (MNPL) that permits free use of its models for non-commercial and research purposes while requiring commercial users to negotiate terms with the company. The license applies to Codestral, released today, and represents a shift from the company's previous Apache 2.0 approach for all releases. This allows Mistral to maintain open access for developers and researchers while generating revenue from companies building paid products on its technology.
