Mistral AI, a French artificial intelligence startup, has released a new content moderation API capable of detecting harmful content across nine categories in 11 languages. The API, powered by Mistral’s fine-tuned Ministral 8B model, offers both raw text and conversational content analysis, as reported by Michael Nuñez for VentureBeat. This launch positions Mistral to compete with OpenAI and other AI leaders while addressing growing concerns about AI safety and content filtering.
