Mistral AI has launched an AI orchestration engine targeted at production business processes — moving past the model-as-API positioning that defined the company's first two years. The pitch is a single runtime for workflows that fan out across tools, retries, evaluations, and human approvals, with first-class support for Mistral models and adapters for OpenAI and Anthropic. The interesting bet is the runtime layer becoming the lock-in surface, not the model itself.
