Mistral in talks with VC firms, MGX to raise funds at $10 billion valuation, FT reports
The company launched in June Europe's first AI reasoning model, which uses logical thinking to create a response, as it tries to keep pace with American and Chinese rivals at the forefront of AI development.
The funding would accelerate the commercial rollout of Mistral's Le Chat chatbot and support continued development of its large language models, the report said.
MGX and Mistral did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.
The startup raised 600 million euros in a Series B funding round that valued the company at 5.8 billion euros last year.
Industry observers consider Mistral as Europe's best-positioned AI company to rival Silicon Valley leaders, though the French firm has yet to achieve comparable market traction or revenue scale.

Google commits $1 billion for AI training at US universities
SAN FRANCISCO :Alphabet's Google on Wednesday announced a three-year, $1 billion commitment to provide artificial intelligence training and tools to U.S. higher education institutions and nonprofits. More than 100 universities have signed on to the initiative so far, including some of the nation's largest public university systems such as Texas A&M and the University of North Carolina. Participating schools may receive cash funding and resources, such as cloud computing credits towards AI training for students as well as research on AI-related topics. The billion-dollar figure also includes the value of paid AI tools, such as an advanced version of the Gemini chatbot, which Google will give to college students for free. Google hopes to expand the program to every accredited nonprofit college in the U.S. and is discussing similar plans in other countries, Senior Vice President James Manyika said in an interview. He declined to specify how much Google is earmarking in direct funds to external institutions relative to footing its own cloud and subscription bills. The announcement comes as rivals like OpenAI, Anthropic and Amazon have made similar pushes around AI in education as the technology pervades society. Microsoft in July pledged $4 billion to bolster AI in education globally. By evangelizing their products to students, tech firms further stand to win business deals once those users enter the workforce. A growing body of research has mapped concerns around AI's role in education, from enabling cheating to eroding critical thinking, prompting some schools to consider bans. Manyika said Google had not faced resistance from administrators since it began to plot its education initiative earlier this year, but "many more questions" about AI-related concerns remain. "We're hoping to learn together with these institutions about how best to use these tools," he said, adding that the insights could help shape future product decisions.

New York Times revenue jumps 9.7% from subscriptions and ads
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox NEW YORK - The New York Times Co. on Aug 6 reported strong advertising and subscription revenue growth in the second quarter, adding 230,000 paid digital-only subscribers. The Times now has 11.88 million total subscribers to its print and digital products, which include the news report, Cooking, Games, the Wirecutter product review site and The Athletic, a sports news site. The company has said it aims to reach 15 million subscribers by the end of 2027. A vast majority of its subscribers, 11.3 million, subscribe only to the company's digital products. The Times reported 580,000 print subscribers at the end of the second quarter, which ended June 30, down from 600,000 in the first quarter and 630,000 in 2024. Total revenue for the second quarter increased 9.7 per cent from 2024, to US$685.9 million (S$882 million). Adjusted operating profit increased nearly 28 per cent, to US$133.8 million. Subscription revenue increased 9.6 per cent year over year, to US$481.4 million. Total advertising revenue increased 12.4 per cent, to US$134 million. Digital advertising revenue rose 18.7 per cent, to US$94.4 million, beating the company's estimates, because of strong demand in areas like games and sports. Another revenue stream for the Times – affiliate referral and licensing, mostly from Wirecutter – increased 5.8 per cent year over year to US$70.5 million. Operating costs increased 6.2 per cent, to US$579.3 million. That included US$3.5 million in pretax legal costs for an active lawsuit against Microsoft and OpenAI over the use of the news organization's content to train generative artificial intelligence. In May, the Times announced an AI licensing deal with Amazon for the use of its editorial content. The terms were not disclosed. The Times breaks out earnings results for The Athletic, which it bought in 2022 for US$550 million, but it will stop doing that when it reports third-quarter results, it said. The Athletic reported an adjusted operating profit of US$5.8 million, up from a loss of US$2.4 million in the second quarter of 2024. That increase was due to higher revenue from subscriptions, advertising and licensing. The Times Co. had US$951.1 million in cash and marketable securities at the end of June, according to the news release announcing the quarterly results. 'We grew all of our major revenue lines, and we're generating significant free cash flow,' Ms Meredith Kopit Levien, the company's CEO, said in a statement. The Times forecast that digital subscription revenue would rise 13 per cent to 16 per cent in the third quarter of 2025, with an increase in the low double-digits for digital advertising revenue.
