🚀 Today we’re 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, Mistral and Microsoft are expanding their strategic partnership with Microsoft’s commitment to leverage part of this capacity. This brings Mistral’s frontier models across Microsoft’s AI platform and gives customers flexible deployment options from cloud to fully disconnected environments. There are several key pillars to the expanded partnership: 🏢Scaling Europe’s AI compute capacity: Microsoft and Mistral are announcing a new agreement to expand AI infrastructure in Europe. Microsoft will leverage Mistral’s expanded Europe-based GPU infrastructure to increase capacity for AI development and to support the delivery of Microsoft’s cloud and AI services. This represents a multibillion dollar commitment from Microsoft and an important way for Microsoft customers to benefit from Mistral’s scientific and compute innovations. 🛠️ Integrating Mistral models into Microsoft enterprise products: Mistral Medium 3.5 and OCR 4 are now available in Microsoft Foundry, and Mistral Medium 3.5 is now in Microsoft Copilot Studio. This brings the benefits of Mistral’s frontier, efficient and multilingual models to Microsoft customers globally, allowing developers to build, customize and operate AI applications. 🗝️ Giving enterprises greater control over AI at scale: Azure enables organizations to deploy Mistral models across cloud, cloud-connected and fully disconnected environments, while maintaining control over data, operations and business continuity. Arthur Mensch and Brad Smith share more details on what this partnership means for enterprises around the world 👇 Watch here: https://lnkd.in/eScXnT9Y

Introducing Robostral Navigate: Mistral’s state-of-the-art robotics navigation model that lets robots navigate complex environments using just a single camera and plain-language instructions - beating the best single-camera approach by 9.7 points, using 22x fewer tokens, and working across any robot form factor from wheeled to legged robots. Trained entirely in simulation (no real-world data collection), this breakthrough could transform manufacturing, logistics, and delivery. It eliminates the need for costly LiDAR and depth sensors, dramatically reducing deployment costs. Its hardware-agnostic design enables rapid scaling across diverse robot fleets. Plain-language instructions allow non-technical staff to operate robots without specialized training. This puts AI in the hands of workers across the manufacturing sector and puts the power of embodied frontier AI in everyone’s hands. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gGZ8PVrA

Upcoming livestream: OCR4 in Production. We recently released Mistral OCR 4, featuring bounding boxes, block classification, and inline confidence scores alongside extracted text. Join us to see a demo and to find out how OCR4 can be used inside workflows and Search Toolkit (Mistral's open-source, composable search framework) to get production-grade indexing.

We're building frontier AI systems to solve some of the world's hardest problems, from transforming global enterprises to preserving human history. 🌐 Cisco built an AI renewals agent that consolidates data from 50+ sources, automates proposal creation, and targets cutting renewal prep time by up to 20%. 🏦 HSBC is powering agentic workflows across global banking operations, automating financial analysis, multilingual document processing, and risk evaluation at scale. 📄 The European Patent Office co-developed a specialized OCR model to transform complex, multilingual patent documents into structured, AI-ready data, supercharging prior-art search and examiner productivity. 🏛️ The Austrian Academy of Sciences is training Apollo, the world's first LLM for Ancient Greek, enabling researchers to reconstruct and decipher 1 million+ unread papyri in hours, not years.

What does it take to deploy frontier AI inside a global bank? BNP Paribas needed a partner who could run models on their own infrastructure, meet strict security and compliance requirements, and be energy-efficient at scale. Since the partnership began, our collaboration has expanded from models to co-created solutions, research, and products. We’re looking forward to even more co-innovation in the future.

Today, we're releasing Mistral OCR 4 - our state of the art document intelligence model. In order for businesses to deploy AI in the enterprise, they need to take the first step of digitizing decades of documents to ensure their customized AI systems have the full context of their organization. OCR 4 is a critical step in that journey. OCR 4 supports 170 languages across 10 language groups, with real gains on the rare and low-resource documents where most systems fall off. It's small enough to run fully self-hosted on a single container, so sensitive data never leaves your environment. Independent annotators preferred OCR 4 over all other systems tested, with win rates averaging 72%. It also takes the top overall score on a leading public industry benchmark, OlmOCRBench. It’s available today via the API, Document AI in Mistral AI Studio, Amazon SageMaker, Microsoft Foundry, and coming soon Snowflake Parse Document. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gQR36HA8
