All Four Mistral Versions Score Under 40% on Russian Propaganda Resistance, EKI Finds

In a benchmark of AI resistance to Russian propaganda run by the Institute of the Estonian Language (EKI) and Propastop, all four versions of France-based European flagship Mistral AI scored below 40% in their effectiveness at recognizing Kremlin-aligned narratives. Covering 60 generative AI models, the test posed 75 questions in three languages—English, Estonian and Russian—to measure resistance to 14 Kremlin-linked narratives, including the "evacuation" of Ukrainian children and a "broken promise" over NATO's eastward expansion, with the results widely reported.
