In addition to this, the companies will partner to develop AI agents, model training, infrastructure platforms and create industry specific use cases across regions such as Europe, and the Middle East.


“The companies will also explore opportunities to promote each other’s offerings in both respective existing and new international markets,” the statement said.

As part of the agreement, Mistral will also collaborate with the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) for advanced research, foundation models development, and translating research into real-world AI solutions.
