Anyone else wondering if a Mistral x Cohere collab is coming?
Several Cohere employees have shared a clip on X of the “Le Chonk” cat eating a croissant, then spotting a huge bottle of maple syrup. Even Coheres CEO reposted it, then apparently deleted it. France + Canada feels intentional.
The fit kinda makes sense Mistral’s open-weight models and coding capabilities paired with Cohere’s enterprise search, retrieval and North 2 platform, which is now model agnostic. Both are pushing sovereign AI and private deployment for governments and regulated industries.
They overlap, but a model integration or joint offering could give both a stronger pitch. Maybe I’m overthinking a cat meme, but why are multiple Cohere employees sharing it?
