Mistral announced it raised a €3 billion Series D to expand open-weight frontier AI research, training compute, and infrastructure. The funding round adds $3.5 billion (US dollars) and values the company at over €21 billion post-money. As a result, Mistral says it will keep building the full stack—models plus compute and production tools—to reduce customer dependence on a single vendor.
