This is the best summary I could come up with:
Mistral is also among the companies that believe in sharing this technology as open-source software — computer code that can be freely copied, modified and reused — providing outsiders with everything they need to quickly build chatbots of their own.
Rival companies like OpenAI and Google argue that the open-source approach is dangerous and that the raw technology could be used to spread disinformation and other harmful material.
Mistral’s fate has taken on considerable importance in France, where leaders like Bruno Le Maire, the finance minister, have pointed to the company as providing the nation a chance to challenge U.S. tech giants.
Europe has not produced many meaningful tech companies dating back to the dot-com boom and sees artificial intelligence as a field where it can gain ground.
Companies like OpenAI and Google believe that this technology is so powerful, they can release it to the public only in the form of an online chatbot after spending months applying digital guardrails that prevent it from spewing disinformation, hate speech and other toxic material.
Widely sharing the underling code for A.I., Mr. Midha said, is the safest path because more people can review the technology, find its flaws and work to remove or mitigate them.
