Google Cloud, Mistral AI partner on generative language models

Google Cloud and Mistral AI, a generative AI startup founded by former Meta employees, have entered into a partnership that will enable Mistral AI to distribute its cutting-edge language models on Google Cloud’s powerful infrastructure.

“As part of the agreement, Mistral AI will use Google Cloud’s AI-optimized infrastructure, including TPU Accelerators, to further test, build, and scale up its LLMs (large language models), all while benefiting from Google Cloud’s security and privacy standards,” the companies announced in a joint statement.

Large language models are trained on massive amounts of data to generate text and other content.

Mistral AI said on Monday it had raised 385 million euros ($415 million) in its second funding round in seven months, led by investors such as Andreessen-Horowitz and LightSpeed Ventures.
