PARIS: Founded less than two years ago, French generative artificial intelligence (AI) startup Mistral AI has swiftly staked out a place as the great European hope contending with US giants dominating the sector.
Named for a legendary chill wind that sweeps France’s Mediterranean coast, Mistral raked in a €600mil (RM2.77bil or US$620mil) funding round last summer that was the largest of any French tech firm in 2024, according to consultancy KPMG.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
