Overview

Munito is an open-model inference provider for Europe, private by default. Its API lets users choose their models and keep inference and storage in the EU.

Founded by the former inference lead at Mistral AI, Munito is built on one belief: open and independent intelligence, both models and inference, is key to economic growth and prosperity.

Origins

I led inference at Mistral AI, where my team built its API and inference products, and I built Le Chat's Deep Research. Before that, I spent five years at Airbnb, where I built Hosting Services from scratch and grew it to become a global product. At Mistral, we built everything in-house, because no independent European provider could handle our scale. I kept seeing the same thing: in Europe, inference is a side product. Cloud providers sell it next to their VMs, and model labs sell it for their own models. At the same time, open models became really good. This is why I started Munito: the best open models, run in Europe, behind an API you already know how to use.
