Tristar was reported to have invested in the Mistral valuation or 20 billion euros

On 22 July, according to the British Financial Times, informed sources revealed that Samsung was negotiating a new round of financing involving the artificial intelligence start-up company, Mistral, which could bring the estimate of Mistral to approximately 20 billion euros. This will help the French company become the main alternative to the United States technology giant. One of the sources indicated that Samsung had previously supported the company through its venture capital sector and that it might have invested about 1 billion euros in a new round of financing. This negotiation reflects the widespread search by artificial intelligence developers for partnerships with semiconductor suppliers to respond to a situation in which intra-industry computing demand is well beyond supply. The interest of European and Asian enterprises and governments in US-led AI-based alternatives has been increasing since the Trump government banned foreign users from accessing the recent Mythos and Fable models of Anthropic last month. Since its establishment, Mistral has focused on the development of open-source AI models, allowing customers to customize and control them, which means that no company or government can shut them down.
