Hey everyone,

Last week, Mistral released a new Text-to-Speech model (Voxtral) capable of running 100% locally, without sending any data to the cloud. I wanted to test it head-to-head against ElevenLabs — and honestly, the results are really good!

It complements their Speech-to-Text model released back in February. I put both to the test, and you can see (and hear) the comparison in my latest video:

A change in Gladys Plus: moving to Mistral Small 3.2 on Scaleway​

While exploring Mistral's models, I'm also announcing a change to the AI powering Gladys Plus.

I'm replacing OpenAI GPT-5 mini with Mistral Small 3.2, hosted in France on Scaleway 🇫🇷

The model is faster, cheaper, and your data stays with a sovereign French host. It's win-win-win! In concrete terms, this affects:

  • camera image analysis
  • proactive scenes
  • conversations with the AI

And since the model is cheaper to run, I'm taking the opportunity to increase the monthly quotas included in the subscription:

  • 3,000 text requests / month
  • 500 camera image analyses / month

My goal is to unlock new use cases for you. If AI prices drop by another factor of 10 in the coming months, I'll raise the limits again 😀

If you haven't tried Gladys Plus yet, there's a free trial:
