Mistral Compute

Dear Readers,

With the announcement of Mistral Compute, the French AI start-up is taking a radical step: its own, fully European compute infrastructure - with Nvidia Grace Blackwell chips, a flexible cloud or on-prem solution, its own APIs and sovereign data control. What was previously reserved for US cloud giants such as AWS, Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure could now become the European alternative - a huge step towards technological independence.

But it's about more than just computing power: Mistral Compute offers the foundation for European AI sovereignty - for research, companies and states that no longer want to be dependent on Silicon Valley or Beijing. In a world of growing geopolitical tensions, technological infrastructure is becoming a strategic weapon. Mistral's platform brings Europe back into the game - sovereign, scalable and climate-conscious.

At the same time, the USA is demonstrating how dangerous a regulatory vacuum can be: while Europe is building up technological independence, the USA is threatened with a ten-year moratorium on AI regulation, which threatens to block its own security policy. States are rebelling against the course from Washington - and demanding protection instead of standstill.

It is a decisive moment: whoever controls the infrastructure will shape the future of AI. Will Europe seize this momentum - or will the vision of a sovereign digital future remain just a headline?.

In Today’s Issue:

All the best,

Mistral AI, the French AI startup, has just launched Mistral Compute - a holistic infrastructure platform that delivers everything from a single source: GPUs, orchestration, APIs and services - whether on-premises or as a managed cloud service. Together with Nvidia's latest Grace Blackwellchips, Mistral aims to deliver sovereign AI with European data control and sustainability.

Why is this exciting? For developers, research institutions and companies in Europe, Asia or the Global South, there is finally an alternative to US-based cloud giants. This infrastructure enables specialized application scenarios in pharmaceuticals, financial markets or defense - freely scalable, regionally hosted and energy-efficient.

The infrastructure on which own models can be trained and operated - independent, transparent and high-performance - is finally coming closer. A real game changer!

With Mistral Compute, Europe is gaining a powerful tool to play in the global AI competition. Will this be the beginning of a new era of sovereign AI ecosystems?

Why it matters: For the first time, this platform creates broad accessibility to the AI hardware revolution - for research, business and innovation worldwide. It strengthens Europe's position and offers real competition to the major US and Chinese providers.

In addition, with “Magistral”, Mistral has now launched its first in-house reasoning model that is on a par with DeepSeek r1. This strengthens europe's sovereignty and shows that Mistral has not yet been left behind.

Katrina Rosseini warns that a 10-year moratorium on federal AI regulation in the US jeopardizes national security. Without swift government intervention, IoT infrastructures would remain vulnerable - giving adversaries room for cyberattacks. The result: dependence on foreign technology, dampened economic growth and weakened state resilience.

Over 260 US state parliamentarians are urging Congress to remove the 10-year moratorium. They argue that a federal regulatory loophole leads to gaps in protection against digital manipulation, deepfakes and job displacement. The states want to remain capable of acting - a conflict in spe between centralized terms and local protection needs.

A Financial Times article makes it clear: AI is accelerating cybercrime worldwide. LLMs and autonomous agents exacerbate phishing, ransomware and malware. Attacks are increasingly targeting critical infrastructure and healthcare systems - with significant financial, social and political consequences. Without global regulation and robust technical protection systems, there is a threat of escalating forms of attack.
