Mistral AI's chatbot Le Chat has recently received a major update, adding five core features that significantly enhance the user experience and application scope. This update integrates various specialized models, such as the Voxtral model for voice interaction and the Magistral model for logical reasoning.
Deep Research Mode: An Information Integration Tool
The highlight of this update is the introduction of Deep Research Mode. This feature is similar to similar tools found in mainstream AI products like ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Claude. With this mode, Le Chat can break down complex questions into smaller parts, intelligently search multiple information sources, and generate structured reports with references.
Although these reports may contain errors or have varying source quality, this feature is still highly valuable for experts who need to quickly find information or get an overview of a new field. In such cases, users do not need to verify all details, just check the key points in the report.
Speech Input and Advanced Image Editing
Le Chat now supports direct speech input based on the Voxtral model. According to Mistral AI, this speech mode is designed for low latency and natural speech, allowing users to brainstorm or take notes through conversation.
Additionally, for complex reasoning tasks, the new "Think Mode" uses Mistral's Magistral model. In terms of image editing, Le Chat has partnered with Black Forest Laboratory to introduce an innovative tool that allows users to modify generated images through text commands. This means users can easily remove objects or change scenes while keeping the key elements in the image. This feature is likely powered by Black Forest Laboratory's Kontext model.
Project Management and Cross-Platform Availability
This update also includes practical project features, allowing users to organize conversations, files, and settings into independent workspaces. This feature automatically saves used tools and supports file uploads. Mistral AI states that this is especially effective for long-term projects.
All new features are now fully available on the chat.mistral.ai website and the Le Chat iOS and Android mobile applications, providing users with a smarter and more efficient AI interaction experience.
