- Current Meta AI subscription prices, included quotas, and regional availability were not published in the reviewed official sources.
- The reviewed general AI terms do not expressly establish user ownership of outputs or a blanket commercial-use license.
- Privacy controls and objection rights vary by jurisdiction.
Official sources describe an assistant for questions, planning, actions, and image creation/editing. Meta's Privacy Policy covers AI interactions and related metadata; it states that public information on Meta products and interactions with AI at Meta may be used to develop and improve generative-AI models, with objection rights where applicable. Regional AI terms differ. The general AI terms expressly preserve rights in prompts but do not provide a comparable ownership assignment for outputs.
Le Chat is now Mistral Vibe. Free plan available; Pro is $14.99/month excluding taxes; Team is $24.99/user/month excluding taxes; Enterprise pricing is custom.

- No blanket commercial-use conclusion was made for consumer subscriptions because the consumer terms limit access to personal use and direct business integrations to separate commercial terms.
- Taxes and final localized prices vary.
Official documentation confirms the rename to Vibe and three modes: Work, Code, and Chat. Free-plan conversations may be used to improve models with an opt-out; Pro, Team, and Enterprise conversations are not used for training by default. Connectors and uploaded library documents are not used for training. Consumer terms assign Mistral's rights in outputs to the user, but consumer access is expressly personal; business integrations and products distributed to third parties are directed to Mistral's commercial terms.
