French AI startup Mistral launched Mistral Saba, a 24-billion-parameter language model designed for Arabic-speaking countries. The model outperforms Mistral’s general-purpose small model in Arabic content and perhaps surprisingly overperforms with Indian-origin languages. Saba’s release extends Mistral’s commitment to local language support and represents a strategic move to gain traction among users in the Middle East and potentially attract regional investors.
