- Reuters reports that Samsung is in talks to invest about €1B in Mistral at a €20B valuation.
- That would be close to doubling Mistral’s previous €11.7B valuation.
- The reported rationale is strategic: Samsung could contribute memory chips, devices, manufacturing scale, and access to billions of users, while Mistral offers models that governments can run with more control over data and infrastructure.
- The deal would also fit a broader European push for more control over AI infrastructure after dependence on American providers became more visible.
