Mistral is announcing an expanded global strategic partnership with Microsoft to give enterprises and regulated industries frontier AI they can control. As Mistral is expanding its AI compute capacity in Europe, the companies are expanding their strategic partnership with Microsoft’s commitment to leverage part of this capacity, bringing Mistral’s... frontier and efficient models across Microsoft’s AI platform and giving customers flexible deployment options from cloud to fully disconnected environments. Learn more from Arthur Mensch and Brad Smith on what this means for enterprises. Watch here:show more

@Microsoft Congrats! Now, one question remains: When is coming le Gros Chaton ?

@Microsoft Why Microsoft, the worst of the worse? That much for digital sovereingty.

@Microsoft lulz, getting in bed with microslop now ? ig there is a market for kpi report slop AI to be gained, congrats ! now please refrain from posting until you get a real coding model so you stop looking like clowns ;)

@Microsoft Mistral + Microsoft expanding for enterprises and regulated industries? Smart move. Frontier models with real control + air-gapped options is exactly what many of my clients need. Europe compute boost is a nice touch too. How are you seeing sovereign AI demand evolving?

@Microsoft Mistral x Microslop : Mistral fournit les hallucinations, Azure fournit la facture 🤣

@Microsoft That makes no fucking sense and it is worrying. - Sovereignty means putting Microsoft out. If not, it means washing not sovereignty. - Azure GPUs / Infra is always sold at Premium price. If it's your solution to scale up, it is not a solution, it is giving up.

@Microsoft Mistral is a rubbish model and @Microsoft is a pro-genocide corporation that doesn't respect human rights or its user's privacy.

@Microsoft Frontier AI?

@Microsoft Where did you get frontier AI from? Kimi?

@Microsoft give it to us in europe. europe needs it

@Microsoft Using clouds from microsoft makes the sovereignty race go out of the window

@Microsoft Bullish $Chaton

@Microsoft Such a great news congratulations and thank you for EU & France 🇫🇷🌹

@Microsoft Une avancée importante pour l'écosystème européen de l'IA. L'enjeu est désormais son intégration fiable dans les usages métiers, notamment en éducation. Félicitations aux équipes de @MistralAI

@Microsoft Pfffff

@Microsoft And more musique Brad !

@Microsoft For sure que l'accent frenchie est un argument de séduction aux US, Arthur n'a apparemment fait aucun effort pour s'en détacher. 😇🤣😇 Thanks for all @arthurmensch.

@Microsoft Great to see frontier AI paired with enterprise control and flexible deployment. This kind of partnership will accelerate regulated industry adoption!

C'est très encourageant pour @MistralAI. Il est essentiel qu'une société française de cette envergure puisse se targuer d'avoir comme partenaire un des leaders mondiaux de l'informatique d'entreprises. Cela va, d'autre part, faire bouillir la marmite pour lui permettre d'avancer. Une seule question subsiste : est-ce que cette association est ITAR-free ?

@Microsoft Sovereign AI routed through a US hyperscaler is data-residency, not independence. The frontier is capital-bound, so every 'independent' lab rents scale from one, turning sovereignty into a compliance feature. Mistral's edge is efficiency and regulatory fit, not autonomy.

@Microsoft No. Say it ain't so There goes Mistral 🫣

@Microsoft pourquoi ne pas s'associer avec une entreprise européenne...

@Microsoft TOPPP thank you

@Microsoft

European AI sovereignty requires more than local compute, because people must still be able to decide where to keep sensitive data and leave a provider without rebuilding the product. Compute matters, but what you need is to pressure European bureaucrats into giving you and other companies complete freedom, allowing you to compete at another level and enabling us Europeans to benefit from it.

@Microsoft "Expanding AI compute capacity in Europe" spans grids with a 7x spread in carbon intensity depending on country and methodology source. "Efficient" without naming the grid is a claim, not a measurement — that's the gap CarbonLayer tracks.

@Microsoft Hi @MistralAI, just wanted to report a bug. Speech-to-text keeps failing with the message: "Looks like something went wrong! We are sorry about that. Please try refreshing and contact us if the problem persists." I've already tried refreshing, but it's still happening. Thanks!

@Microsoft

@Microsoft made a 67-second explainer of the announcement — verdict: 7.5/10. fully disconnected frontier AI is the real headline:

@Microsoft Allleeee Mistral !

Dressing up an infrastructure dependency loop as a "sovereign cloud partnership" is an exquisite form of corporate spin. True architectural control isn't negotiated through Microsoft compute capacity commitments or geographic server placement. Moving a probabilistic model layer into a "fully disconnected environment" just creates an isolated chamber for the same hallucination drifts and cognitive entropy. Absolute data and logic sovereignty belongs strictly to Self-Evolving Distributed Runtimes that treat the model tier as a cheap, swappable utility commodity. You are building localized cages for the cloud cartel's property, while the decentralized engineering elite has already moved past the concept of vendor-bound networks. ☕️😏 #CloudArchitecture #HighLoad #SOTA #Kairos

@Microsoft Mistral vous étiez des précurseurs. J'espère vraiment que vous préparez une réelle innovation parce que ça devient urgent de concurrencer les chinois et les américains. Que faites vous ? ?

@Microsoft Wow this is nice

@Microsoft

@Microsoft Interesting
