French AI company Mistral AI has launched Le Chat Enterprise, a powerful enterprise AI platform based on the new Mistral Medium 3 model. This new solution addresses key challenges of AI implementation in enterprises such as data fragmentation, security concerns and flexible deployment options.
Le Chat Enterprise combines advanced features such as enterprise search, agent builder, custom connectors and document libraries with a hybrid deployment model and comprehensive data protection controls. The underlying Mistral Medium 3 model offers impressive performance on programming and math tasks, achieving approximately 90% of the capabilities of Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 3.7 model – at a significantly lower cost.
Technical performance and enterprise features
In benchmark tests, Mistral Medium 3 even outperforms models such as GPT-4o and Llama 4 on certain coding and math tasks. The model operates at a cost of $0.40 per million input tokens and $2 per million output tokens – a significant cost advantage over competitors. The hybrid deployment option allows companies to install the AI solution either on-premise, in the public cloud or in a private virtual private cloud.
Key features include native integrations with Google Drive, SharePoint, OneDrive and email systems as well as no-code agent development with pre-built templates for various business tasks. Of particular note is the focus on data protection and security with options for local deployment, strict access controls and a zero retention policy for corporate data.
Market positioning and strategic importance
With Le Chat Enterprise, Mistral AI is positioning itself as a European alternative to US AI providers. With early customers such as BNP Paribas and AXA and a strong emphasis on EU data protection compliance, the company is targeting particularly regulated industries and European markets. Compared to competing offerings such as Claude Enterprise and ChatGPT Enterprise, Le Chat Enterprise offers advantages in hybrid deployment and no-code agent creation.
The adoption of Le Chat Enterprise reflects key industry trends: 78% of companies prioritize domain-specific AI solutions, 42% of Fortune 500 companies use AI agents for process automation, and 61% of European companies prefer locally hosted AI solutions after GDPR adoption.
