Microsoft and French startup Mistral said Tuesday they had signed a “multibillion-dollar” deal for the US tech giant to use the AI developer’s computing infrastructure in Europe.

    Don’t get the negativity. This does not mit Mistral models are less safe or sending data somewhere else. And it’s bringing US money into the EU, which in my books is a win. Also Mistral gets to position their models ok Azure. Not sure why people are so negative about this

      You have to be very naive to believe that.

      It’s always the same… there is a interesting europe based alternative for US-Techgiants and after a while it is bought or “a deal” is made… very sad!

    I’m sure the valuations are all correct. /s Now we are saying “multi-billion” instead of “billions” to open up the door for the general usage of “trillion”. These amounts make no sense and are almost meaningless. Someone should do the cost-accounting on these numbers. I bet there would be a huge difference between “reporting” and reality.
