The French Ministry of Armed Forces has signed a framework agreement with Mistral AI to integrate generative AI technologies into its military operations. Mistral AI, founded in April 2023 and valued between €12 billion and €14 billion, aims to develop a sovereign computing infrastructure in collaboration with Nvidia, while the French government invests €8.5 billion in an AI campus to bolster technology initiatives. This agreement will grant various defense agencies access to Mistral’s AI models, amidst concerns over competition with U.S. firms.
