Mistral x HUMAIN

Over the past few weeks, we have announced several important steps to expand sovereign AI by increasing access to local infrastructure capacity. Earlier this summer, we announced an expanded partnership with Microsoft to increase compute capacity in Europe. In early August, we introduced European Compute Units, a structure designed to bring together long-term enterprise commitments so the capacity Europe needs gets built and can support its global competitiveness. Today, we are announcing a new strategic collaboration with HUMAIN to support sovereign AI in Saudi Arabia and across the Middle East. See more below.

Mistral and HUMAIN Announce Strategic Collaboration to Advance Sovereign AI in Saudi Arabia and Regionally

Mistral and HUMAIN today announced a strategic collaboration spanning AI infrastructure, advanced model development, and the deployment of AI solutions in Saudi Arabia and across the region. Together, the companies will pursue the development and localization of advanced AI models, with initial areas of focus including cybersecurity and voice. The companies also plan to develop frontier models that perform strongly in Arabic language to help support the broader region. This represents a collaboration in the hundreds of millions of Euros. As part of the collaboration, Mistral will explore using HUMAIN’s data center infrastructure to support growing local compute needs. HUMAIN and Mistral also plan to develop a joint go-to-market strategy in Saudi Arabia focused on bringing advanced AI solutions to regulated industries.
