Adoption

4 medium confidence
4.0

~1.7M app downloads by May 2026 (TechCrunch reported 1M in 14 days at Feb 2025 launch); Mistral states EU monthly active recipients below 45M (a DSA ceiling, not a measured MAU); ~10.8M desktop visits to mistral.ai Mar 2026. Honest read places real active users in the 1-10M band, level 4. The <45M is a regulatory cap not an actual count, so not used as the headline.

Capability

4 medium confidence
4.0

Feature-broad general assistant UI (search, multimodal, code, enterprise) with a speed differentiator; high breadth but single-provider-leaning, not the category frontier-definer.
