Mistral AI used its inaugural AI NOW Summit in Paris to announce a sweeping expansion across industrial engineering, infrastructure, and consumer-facing AI. The company launched Mistral for Industrial Engineering, a stack combining its language models with physics simulation capabilities from its Emmi AI acquisition, with Airbus, BMW, and ASML as early partners. Le Chat is being rebranded as Vibe and split into Vibe for Work, which connects to Google Workspace, Outlook, SharePoint, Slack, and GitHub, and Vibe for Code, a coding agent with a VS Code extension. Pricing starts at free, with Pro at $14.99/month and Teams at $24.99/user/month. Mistral also announced a 10 MW inference data center at Les Ulis south of Paris, opening Q3 2026, and a Borlänge, Sweden site planned through 2027 hosting NVIDIA Vera Rubin GPUs, part of a €4B infrastructure investment. The company now employs 1,000 people and is targeting €1B in 2026 revenue.
