European artificial intelligence startup Mistral is actively entering the US market to compete with AI talents with Silicon Valley giants. The company with a valuation of 6 billion euros, with the support of French President Macron, has established a new office in Palo Alto and actively recruits engineers, scientists and salespersons. The move marked the place where European AI companies tried to compete for a place in the world's largest scientific and technological market, and also reflected the ambitions of Europe to compete with the United States and China in the field of AI.
Mistral, the most valuable artificial intelligence startup in Europe, is actively expanding its business in the United States to compete for AI talents with competitors with Silicon Valley. The company headquartered in Paris is establishing a new office in Palo Alto, California, and seek to recruit engineers, scientists and sales teams to promote its development in the US market.
According to the insiders of the company, one of Mistral's three co -founders, Guillaume Lample, is also considering whether to move from Paris to the United States. However, relevant persons said that the final decision has not yet made.
In a round of financing in June this year, Mistral's valuation reached 6 billion euros. The company was praised by French President Macron and was regarded as evidence that Europe could compete with the United States and China in the field of cutting -edge artificial intelligence in the field of cutting -edge artificial intelligence. Mistral's expansion in California has followed many other potential European startups. They have sought talents, capital and customers from the United States. After all, these resources are often easier to obtain in this world's largest technology market.
For Mistral, keeping the balance of the Atlantic may be more complicated. The company has established a positioning of "sovereign artificial intelligence" to provide customers in Europe and other regions with a different solution that is different from American companies. However, with the increasing connection with Silicon Valley, Mistral has also received the support of large technology companies such as Anderson Hollowz and Microsoft and Nvidia. The company is currently recruiting AI scientists, engineers, and sales and administrators in California.
According to employee information on LinkedIn, Mistral's current number of employees in the Bay Area is about 20, and most of them have been added in the past six months. The expansion of Mistral is facing competitors from Openai, Anthropic, etc., and they are also fiercely competing for talents in the industry. In April, Mistral hired the first US general manager and head of global income Majorie Janiewicz to further strengthen its layout in the US market.
Although Mistral has relatively few funds in financing, the company is still trying to compete with abundant capital competitors through more efficient operations. As the artificial intelligence industry has become a capital -intensive industry, top researchers and engineers have become the most sought -after resources. Large American technology companies such as Amazon, Microsoft and Google have attracted outstanding employees of startups with billions of dollars.
The founding team of Mistral has worked in Meta and Google's DeepMind. The company has developed an open source AI model that enabled enterprises and developers to access and customize them according to their needs. Mistral said they will strengthen their business in the United States in order to provide American customers with complete control, privacy and portable AI solutions.
