Article Summary
HOLD- Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) announced a multi-billion-dollar deal to rent AI infrastructure from Mistral, with the French developer targeting 200 megawatts of capacity by 2027 and aiming for one gigawatt by 2030.
- Mistral's own AI models will also be offered directly to Microsoft clients through its tools including AI assistant Copilot, strengthening Europe's AI infrastructure while helping Microsoft meet growing demand for cloud and AI services.
- The two companies did not specify the exact dollar value of the deal or the amount of computing power Mistral would supply, but the tie-up gives us greater visibility to speed up financing and development of Mistral Compute, with Mistral currently investing four billion euros in data centres in France and Europe.
- Microsoft insisted using infrastructure located physically in Europe could address clients' growing concerns about dependence on US tech firms in a time of transatlantic discord.
