Mistral The AI program embracesOpen SourceStrategy.Plans are in the works to release a product that goes beyond DeepSeek new model.
At Mobile World Congress 2025, Arthur Mensch, CEO of Mistral AI, said the company will adopt an open-source strategy to develop more powerful AI technology at a low cost, which will not only help the company iterate quickly against the competition, but also drive collaborative development of the global AI ecosystem.

The U.S. announced an AI joint venture called Stargate in January this year, with plans to build a data center in the U.S. for OpenAI.
OpenAI, SoftBank Group, Oracle and MGX are the initial investors in Stargate, while Arm, Microsoft and NVIDIA are the technology partners. The project has an initial investment of $100 billion (note: currently about RMB 724.297 billion), with up to $500 billion (currently about RMB 3.62 trillion) planned for the next four years.
Mensch emphasized that the open-source model allows companies to consolidate their resources.Develop powerful AI models without huge investments. "We don't think we need $100 billion to train very good models," he said.
