Nice, also note that ASML is a big investor in Mistral AI, which made the industrial AI ambitions already more credible. https://www.asml.com/en/news/press-releases/2025/asml-mistra...

can you explain how it makes it more credible? is the assertion that asml is using mistral as part of its research/manufacturing?

From the link:

"...a long-term collaboration agreement to explore the use of AI models across ASML’s product portfolio as well as research, development and operations..."

ASML is one of the clients Mistral keeps referencing, for example here: https://mistral.ai/news/forge But it isn't clear exactly what they've been doing together. The Forge page only mentions they "train models on the proprietary data that powers their most complex systems and future-defining technologies."

ASML knows like no other the importance of doing research in secrecy.

Built what you want to use yourself. AI for engineering and physics sounds like the perfect product a company like ASML (Mistral investor) could use.

Abbreviated title leaves out key detail: "Mistral AI Acquires Emmi AI to Create the Leading AI Stack for Industrial Engineering"

It’s interesting that a French company can compete at international level to some extent, given the regulations, labor laws and generally the business unfriendly environment. I suspect they capitalize on the preference of European governments to use EU products, but might be wrong.

I was skeptical when I saw the headline. And I still am. But AI for manufacturing and industry seems like a good way to differentiate and focus on a vertical that others are ignoring.

What I am curious about is what has Emmi actually built? Who uses it? I was hoping to see something like a demo on the website but couldn’t find anything concrete.

"Early 2025: First enterprise contracts secured" "Today: Powering Fortune 500 engineering teams" - I guess that is all that is publicly available for now.

I'm glad Mistral is doing well, but...

I am so tired of M&A. Buy instead of competing or - heaven forfend - cooperating.
