tl;dr: Mistral may use user inputs and outputs (conversations, documents, etc.) to train its models by default, but users can opt out. The opt-out process varies by platform: Vibe users can opt out via the Admin panel or mobile app settings (iOS/Android), while Mistral Studio and API users must opt out through the Admin panel.
HN Discussion:
  • Mistral changed defaults to opt-in and removed central controls, betraying privacy-focused customers
  • AI companies will train on your data regardless of opt-out settings, making the feature meaningless
  • ~Opt-out fatigue is real; paid privacy-respecting alternatives are preferable to constantly monitoring vendors
  • Individuals objecting to their data being used while benefiting from others' scraped data is hypocritical
  • The original submission title was misleading editorializing and should reflect the actual article
