Arthur’s work as CEO of Mistral AI, one of a number of startups I have backed in the AI space, has placed him at the intersection of key trends that will make AI more accessible to billions of people—from developing small, high-performance AI models that can run locally on smartphones and other devices to demonstrating the potential reach of an open-source (or open-core) approach. Arthur has led the company’s lightning-fast growth, releasing multiple AI models within one year of its founding in May 2023\. He is a creative leader, championing a structure made up of small teams of four or five people that is designed to preserve innovation as Mistral scales. Arthur’s commitment to democratizing AI has resulted in a platform where developers can innovate freely with flexible, open-source models. His foresight in addressing gaps overlooked by others has set Mistral apart and opened up the world of country- and language-specific AI. He is dedicated to advancing model efficiency at the technology’s frontier and providing an AI alternative for everyone, everywhere. _Gil is an entrepreneur and an angel investor_ _Investors in Mistral AI include Salesforce, where TIME co-chair and owner Marc Benioff is CEO_ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2024/7023471/arthur-mensch-2/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2024/7023471/arthur-mensch-2/"},"headline":"Arthur Mensch","datePublished":"2024-10-02T11:05:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-07-29T07:17:06.029Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2024/7023471/arthur-mensch-2/","keywords":["TIME 100 Next","list","franchise","Magazine","sponsorshipblock"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8690cc3920237bbc/698a5b951868925ea36c88de/time100-next-2024-arthur-mensch-crop.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[],"creator":"Time","articleSection":"World","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8690cc3920237bbc/698a5b951868925ea36c88de/time100-next-2024-arthur-mensch-crop.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-100-next/","name":"TIME 100 Next"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2024/7023471/arthur-mensch-2/","name":"Arthur Mensch"}}]}] ```
