Microsoft and Mistral expanded their partnership with a new multi-billion-dollar agreement spanning AI model integration and European compute power.
Microsoft will leverage Mistral’s expanded Europe-based GPU infrastructure to increase capacity for AI development and to support the delivery of its cloud and AI services. The hyperscaler indicated the deal will expand its capacity footprint in Europe and supports the European Digital Commitments it announced in 2025.
The pair are also making Mistral Medium 3.5 and OCR 4 available in Microsoft Foundry, and Mistral Medium 3.5 available in Microsoft Copilot Studio.
As part of the expanded relationship, the companies are aligning on a joint go-to-market plan and will pursue enterprise opportunities together across Europe and globally. Mistral and Microsoft are also expanding the partnership to accelerate customer adoption, by funding PoCs, offering Azure credits, and leading workshops to drive AI innovation with customers.
“By bringing Mistral’s frontier European models into our sovereign cloud portfolio and enabling them across public cloud, cloud-connected and fully disconnected environments, we are honoring the European Digital Commitments we made and giving customers a trusted foundation for AI they can operate on their own terms," Brad Smith, Microsoft Vice Chair and President, said in a statement.
