Samsung leads €3B funding for Mistral to push Europe’s open-weight AI push

Mistral AI raised €3 billion in a funding round led by Samsung, valuing the Paris-based startup at over €21 billion post-money. The Round also included the Scaleup Europe Fund and PSG Equity. The cash will fund more data-center capacity and the development of larger, open-weight AI models, as Mistral positions itself as a European alternative to OpenAI and Anthropic and pursues enterprise-focused, customizable tools and partnerships (e.g., with ASML and Samsung).

Palantir Soars 30% After Q2 Beat as Karp Takes Aim at Frontier AI Labs

Palantir jumped about 30% after a strong Q2 report: revenue of $1.94 billion (up 92.8% year over year) and EPS of $0.41, beating estimates by roughly 46%. U.S. commercial revenue surged 149%, helping lift full-year revenue guidance to about $8.15 billion, with adjusted operating margin at 62% and free cash flow of $1.22 billion. CEO Alex Karp used the call to attack frontier AI labs (notably Anthropic), arguing proprietary data should not feed external models and highlighting Palantir’s Sovereign AI approach. The move signaled a market re-rating of Palantir’s growth, though the stock remains richly valued (high P/E and P/S), and investors will watch Q3 delivery and ongoing commercial traction.

Sovereign AI: Why governments are staking bets in frontier labs

The Financial Times argues that the US and China are moving from regulating AI to directly owning stakes in frontier AI labs, treating AI as strategic national infrastructure. Trump has floated government equity in OpenAI and xAI, while China backs DeepSeek through state funds, signaling a shift from policy to ownership across the AI stack—from chips to models and, soon, governance. This raises complex questions about balancing national security with shareholder value as governments gain influence over the direction of AI development.
